Why The Leadership Collective Live Is Your Next Best Step

Most leadership events inspire, but they don’t equip. You leave feeling motivated, but by August, you’re back in the same cycle—overwhelmed, overworked, and without a clear plan.

This is different. This is a high-impact, hands-on event designed specifically for women in school leadership who need more than just ideas—they need coaching, community, training, and a strategic plan to walk into the 2026-27 school year with clarity and confidence.

Why Now?

The Leadership Crisis:

According to national reports, school leadership turnover rates have surged, with principals leaving within their first 3-5 years due to burnout. The constant pressure, lack of support, and unsustainable workload are driving talented women out of leadership.

If you don’t intentionally reset, recharge, and refine your strategy, you risk another year of stress, another year of survival mode, and another year of reactive leadership.

This 2-day leadership development event will give you a blend of professional development and personal rejuvenation.  You will get clear on your next steps, ensuring that you leave with a fully developed leadership plan for the 2026-27 school year.

 

Leadership isn’t just about managing schools—it’s about developing yourself throughout the process.

Here's What School Leaders Are Saying After Attending TLC Live 2025…...

- Veleka G. | Principal

"If I had to describe TLC Live to a friend or colleague, I’d say it was unlike any other conference or professional learning I’ve attended. My district allows me to attend a lot of conferences, but this one felt personal. The connections were real, the content was intentional, and I walked away feeling seen, supported, and challenged to grow. I truly feel like I can reach out to Chanavia if I need additional support—and that’s rare. This experience really inspired me—it helped me grow as a leader."

-Sharmaine L. | Principal

" I've had a great time at the Leadership Collective Live. I've been looking forward to this for a long time, and I've been able to bring almost my whole leadership team here. One thing that really stood out is the ability to talk about systems and also just what it means to be a woman in leadership in general, and build community with other people who are walking the same exact walk as us. The good times, the tricky times. It's just been really great to be able to build with everybody."
