Edge of Leadership: Guiding Educators and Students on a Journey of Meaningful Connection, Empowering Skill and Collective Leadership

Leadership begins at the edge, where curiosity meets uncertainty and choice matters. Blending adventure-based learning, relationship-centered teaching, and emotional awareness, Edge of Leadership reframes classrooms as spaces of exploration rather than compliance. Through stories, tools, and practical strategies, readers are guided to create moments where students feel seen, empowered to make choices, and supported in taking healthy risks. This book is for educators who believe leadership is not something we teach about, but something we cultivate through experience. It is an invitation to model curiosity, embrace uncertainty, and be the example, so students don’t just learn what leadership is, but begin to live it. “So many gems in here - if I made a bumper sticker of all my favorite quotes, my car would be covered!” Ann Gillard, Ph.D., Evaluator “Makes me want to become a better person/leader/facilitator! So powerful. So uplifting.” Susan Grover, Elementary School Principal This book is also available on Amazon Kindle by clicking below.
