Professional Growth Plan 

My Philosophy 

 My philosophy is rooted in the belief that education changes the lives of individuals and has an overall positive impact on society. I am committed to leading with a collaborative spirit to create meaningful and lasting impacts on my current organization and future organizations that I have been appointed to lead. There are steps that one must take to become a well-rounded leader, it is a process. The goal is not to find a perfect balance but to build a complementary set of strengths so that we can move gracefully along a spectrum of leadership qualities. (Schwartz, 2017)  The goals set will aid me in strengthening myself as a whole individual, in turn, strengthening my leadership skills.
