Schoolwide Leadership Changes Everything – Rob Dinsdale

In today’s ever-changing world of leadership, we’ve come to grips that leading by experience, tendencies, and feelings is no longer enough. Too often, leaders rely on what they’ve always done, how they naturally respond, or what simply “feels right” in the moment. But true leadership requires something deeper, intentional adaptation.

This episode dives into the rise of Adaptive Leadership, a model that challenges coaches and leaders to grow beyond instinct and evolve with the people and circumstances around them. We explore how developing your Intelligence Quotient (IQ), Emotional Quotient (EQ), and Learning Quotient (LQ) can transform the way you connect, communicate, and create lasting impact.
Join us as we unpack how great leaders move from reaction to reflection, and from comfort to conscious change.

Some seasons stay with you forever! That team that just got it, the chemistry that was rare, the bond that felt like family. But what happens when that chapter closes, and you’re handed a new team that doesn’t feel the same? In this episode, we get real about something coaches rarely talk about: grieving a past team while struggling to fully embrace the one in front of you. We’ll unpack the quiet emotional weight coaches carry, and the dangers of staying emotionally tied to “what was” while missing the potential of “what is.”
