Who’s in Your Ear: How Your Tribe Shapes Your Trajectory

Who you listen to matters more than you think. As a Builder, you’re not just leading—you’re transforming schools in ways that most people around you don’t understand. But if the loudest voices in your ear are supervisors focused on compliance, colleagues who don’t share your vision, or skeptics who think you’re aiming too high, their doubts can start shaping your decisions without you even realizing it. In this episode, we’ll unpack how the wrong influences can slowly pull you back into the status quo, how to evaluate who’s really supporting your growth, and how to surround yourself with the right people who will challenge, inspire, and push you forward #LikeABuilder.
