Leading Discipline Without Burning Out
Introducing my new membership for principals: practical coaching + ready-to-use resources to help you lead with confidence and protect your time. Click here to learn more!
Discipline is one of the most draining parts of a principal’s job—not just because of student behavior, but also the ripple effects with staff, parents, and even your own energy. Without the right systems and boundaries, discipline can feel like it takes over your entire life.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through practical ways to lead discipline with confidence without burning out in the process.
You’ll learn:
- Why strong structures and routines in your building prevent chaos before it starts.
- How to reframe parent defensiveness and use discipline conversations to build relationships.
- The four parent archetypes (and what they all have in common).
- Boundaries that protect your time and sanity so discipline doesn’t follow you home.
Finally, I’ll leave you with a simple challenge: create one new boundary around discipline this week. Because when you protect yourself first, discipline feels lighter and leadership becomes more sustainable.
