Ep #453: Awareness Resistance: Why School Leaders Avoid What They Need to See

September 1, 2026·41 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Growth begins with awareness, but awareness requires the courage to see what is really happening. As school leaders, we often know what needs attention, yet we can resist looking closely because of the emotions, vulnerability, and uncertainty that come with facing the truth.      In this episode, I explore the concept of awareness resistance and why we sometimes avoid the very information that could help us create change. I look at the patterns that keep us in the cycle of hype, disappointment, and rinse-and-repeat leadership, and why creating awareness is the first step toward meaningful growth.                                            Find the full episode show notes, transcript, and Flip the Fall Dip registration info here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/453             Keep up with me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/akellycoaching/
