A Two-Way Street for Growth: This conversation highlights how mentorship isn't just a benefit for rookies—it actively rejuvenates experienced Iowa leaders, sharpens their coaching skills, and strengthens our statewide leadership community.

Leadership Life Fit: Slowing Down for Success
In this episode of the It’s Been Said podcast, Dr. Dana Schon, associate executive director of professional learning for the School Administrators of Iowa, examines why leaders should intentionally slow down. Schon discusses how a "rushed busyness" can become a harmful norm, potentially leading to physical health issues like increased heart rates and diminished analytical thinking in the prefrontal cortex. By sharing personal reflections on the "snowball effect" of rushing through a morning routine—from the shower to eating a granola bar in the car—Schon encourages listeners to reclaim their time through small, mindful practices. She suggests that by slowing down in simple tasks like washing one's face or listening to colleagues without immediately jumping in with advice, leaders can reduce stress and achieve a higher quality of life. Slow down and thoughtfully reflect on this 10-minute podcast.
