Your AI Leadership Posture Report
A short leadership exercise for heads of school who want a grounded place to lead from on AI.In about 5–10 minutes, you'll receive your leadership posture, language you can use confidently with your board, faculty, and parents, and a clear sense of where the AI-specific leadership work happens next.
If you're leading a school right now, this is for you
AI is already shaping how schools operate and make decisions. For heads of school, the real challenge is not learning the tools. It is deciding how to lead.Most heads are feeling pressure from boards, faculty, and parents at the same time, while the public conversation about AI in schools keeps collapsing into classroom policy debates. That leaves leadership clarity in short supply.This orientation isn't an AI course. It's a short leadership exercise that helps you understand the posture you naturally bring to AI conversations — the stance underneath your instincts when a board member asks about policy, when a faculty member shows you something they made with ChatGPT, or when a parent emails with a pointed question.You'll receive a concise leadership posture report with language you can use confidently with your stakeholders, and a clear sense of where to take it next.
Because you can't lead a school through AI from a posture that isn't yours.
About me
My work has focused on helping private school leaders navigate complex operational and leadership decisions, particularly during periods of change.I have spent years working across private schools, with deep experience in enrollment, finance, operations, governance, and mission-critical systems.I bring this orientation and experience to the questions of AI.
I regularly reflect on AI and leadership in schools and share my thinking on LinkedIn. Below is a small selection of recent pieces.
AI Literacy vs. AI Fluency in Action A narrative case study that begins with a Head of School reflecting on mission alignment, followed by companion pieces examining how enrollment leadership and the CFO use AI to validate assumptions and model strategic tradeoffs.
Why AI Literacy Must Come Before AI Fluency An argument for why schools struggle when they jump straight to tools, and why shared AI literacy is a prerequisite for meaningful, responsible use.
Why Chasing AI Tools Is the Wrong Strategy for School Leaders A reflection on why keeping up with AI tools is unsustainable for school administrators, and why leadership clarity matters more than constant experimentation.
What's coming next
If this way of thinking is useful, please stay connected.The orientation gives you a posture. The next step is translating that posture into the actual leadership moves your school needs — board conversations, faculty frameworks, parent communications, and the institutional decisions that come with leading through AI.That's the work I'm building into a set of AI Leadership Strategy Labs for Heads of School, launching this spring. The labs are designed to help heads think more clearly, make better decisions, and reduce cognitive load as they navigate AI-related questions — without turning them into technologists or rushing them into action.If you'd like to hear when the labs open, or receive occasional updates as new leadership-oriented tools and perspectives become available, add your email below.
