Join the Impactful Principals Network!
Calling All School Principals!
This is a defining moment in education. With the expiration of federal relief funds, mounting culture wars, anti-DEI pressures, and the lasting impact of the COVID-19 era, school leaders are navigating a storm of complexity. At the very center of these intersecting challenges stand our principals—charged with making critical decisions every day that impact school culture, student outcomes, and staff wellbeing. Now, more than ever, they need connection. They need coaching. They need community. That’s why we’re launching the “Impactful Leader“ Regional Principals Network—a powerful opportunity for principals to grow, reflect, and lead with clarity and courage.

Palm Springs Usd Principals:
- “Nicole has significantly influenced my leadership approach, shifting my focus from a transactional style to a more transformational one.

Together, we are now more united and intentional in our efforts to close the equity gap.”
