Leader Listening Challenge

The Leader Listening Challenge is a simple, practical resource that helps school leaders build trust and strengthen relationships through short, intentional conversations with staff. By focusing on presence and curiosity, it supports a culture where people feel heard, valued, and supported.

How it Works

Leaders connect with 8 different staff members each week for about two minutes each using ready-to-use listening questions. The resource includes 60 conversation prompts, guiding reminders, and printable trackers to make consistent, meaningful check ins easy to sustain.

Educator Collaboration

This resource was built in collaboration with dedicated educators and school leaders who shared their experience, ideas, and insights at every step. We’re grateful for their partnership in creating tools that truly make a difference in schools. ‍
