Leadership isn’t about having every answer. Join Heartfelt’s Brittany Kay in the final episode of the Leadership Series on how to help leaders lead.
Brittany Kay, Heartfelt’s Executive Director of Program Quality, joins Rhonda Meyers in this final episode of the Leadership Series. They reflect on what it looks and feels like to develop leaders.
Brittany planned and ran Heartfelt’s leadership retreat this year. She learned from last year’s retreat that there needed to be more balance between fun and hard conversations — and enough time for both to unfold. 
[00:08:08] “People just want to be together, and people just want the positive outcomes that come from feeling safe with a group of individuals.”
Doing the best thing doesn’t necessarily mean doing the most elaborate thing. Brittany put this fact into action in the leadership retreat. Leadership development should help leaders know that they don’t have to have all the answers and it’s ok to slow down and be present and vulnerable with others.
[00:20:49] “Every moment had purpose. Every moment impacted others and . . . is the reason that we walked away from those days together a stronger team.”
As a leader, it can be hard to feel appreciated and to gauge your success. When you pour support and affirmation into your leadership team, you pour into staff, teachers, children and families too.
