Founding Cohort · Summer 2026
Fit to Lead Summer Challenge
Rest. Recover. Rebuild. Return Ready.
A six-week online experience for educational leaders who want to intentionally invest in themselves before the new school year begins.
You've made it through another school year
Many leaders aren't just tired. They're depleted.
You supported teachers who were struggling.
You met with worried parents.
You solved problems no one else even knew existed.
You carried the responsibility that comes with leadership.
Summer gives us the opportunity to recover — but recovery isn't the same as doing nothing. The most effective leaders don't just prepare their schools for the year ahead. They prepare themselves.
Why Fit to Lead
Leadership isn't only
an intellectual challenge.
It's also a biological one.
When you have
Low energy
You get
Short patience
When you have
Exhaustion
You get
Poor decisions
When you have
Stress
You get
Shrunk capacity
The opposite is also true.
A stronger body creates greater energy. Greater energy creates better thinking. Better thinking creates better leadership. This challenge isn’t about becoming a fitness model. It’s about becoming a stronger leader.
What we build
Build your leadership capacity.
Physical health
Nutrition
Leadership growth
Community and accountability
Why Fit to Lead
Simple. Sustainable. Repeatable.
No gym required. Walk, run, cycle, swim, lift, dance — anything that gets your body moving and burns ~200 calories. Consistency beats intensity.
No strict diets. No tracking. Aim to eat a little better than you do today — roughly 10% fewer calories, healthier choices where possible.
Weekly sessions with practical leadership ideas you can apply immediately when the new year begins.
Topics include:
Building resilience, Managing stress , Emotional regulation, Energy management, Authentic leadership, Decision making under pressure, Creating healthy boundaries, Developing sustainable leadership habits
The best part isn't the fitness
It's the community.
Encourage each other
Celebrate progress
Share struggles
Learn together
Hold one another accountable

What you'll gain

Practical leadership strategies

Momentum heading into the new school year
A personal invitation
To lead well, you need to be well.
Today I believe one of our greatest responsibilities as leaders isn't simply building stronger schools. It's becoming stronger people.
Our schools deserve our best. Our staff deserve our best. Our families deserve our best. And so do we.
I’d love for you to join me this summer.
Let’s build the physical, mental, and leadership capacity we’ll need for an incredible year ahead.
