For over 30 years international school leaders, teachers, and counselors have come together for Principals’ Training Center (PTC) professional learning experiences. Each day of every program begins with a “pearl of wisdom,” a “nugget of knowledge,” or a “gem of inspiration” from one of the participants. We are delighted to offer our readers around the world these powerful stories, insights, and strategies, all dedicated to our shared mission of ever more and better learning for our children.
In this pearl, Ellen shares that “growth doesn’t happen when you’re in your comfort zone.” Leadership is a practice that needs constant work. You can grow and expand your toolbox with each experience and opportunity.
