What Our Participants Say

Empowering Conversations
John,
It is often said that leadership roles can be very lonely, and as one rises in the ranks, there are fewer and fewer colleagues who are walking in similar shoes. I find the "Hour of Power" that MI Leadership Connection offers to be extremely helpful, as it gives superintendents an opportunity to discuss current issues in the superintendency and to hear solutions or brainstorm!. The opportunity to connect with Paul Liabenow, John Spicko, and fellow superintendents is PRICELESS!
