The Story of Heart Centered Leadership and Growth Public Schools w/ Mrs. Audria Johnson

Mrs. Johnson shared her stories about Atlanta, teaching in California and raising two sons in the last episode. She joins us again to share her wisdom on intuitive leadership. The transition from being a teacher to a principal, and from being colleagues and peers to the boss was as challenging as it was rewarding. Audria has created a heart-centered, intuitive and supportive space at Growth Public Schools. This conversation is rich, critical and vulnerable.  Highlights: Audria’s leadership is relationship based and people focused. “People need to know that you care about them.”  Audria shares her experience as a Black leader in a white dominant world. She had to call on her courage to trust her gut and advocate for herself. We are all leaders. Sometimes you just need support and you need to believe in yourself. Love all the parts of yourself because there will be all this outside noise and the collective other. But at some point, you’ll realize all these things are strengths.
