S2 | E1 - The Leader I Chose to Become
<p>Season 2 of Teachable the Podcast begins with a conversation that goes beyond titles and into the reality behind them.</p><p>In this episode, I sit down with an experienced education leader whose journey has been shaped not just by roles and responsibilities, but by the challenges that came with them - broken expectations, difficult environments, bias, and the courage it takes to keep showing up.</p><p>This is not a polished success story.<br>It’s an honest reflection on resilience, identity, and what leadership really looks like when things don’t go to plan.</p><p>What stood out most was the honesty—the kind that makes you pause and reflect on your own journey, your own decisions, and the spaces we create for others.</p><p>If you’re in education, leadership, or simply navigating your own path, this conversation will stay with you.</p><p>Follow Tamima here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamima-jahanzeb-mufti-npqsl-15224a14/</p><p>If you would like to support Teachable, please consider contributing to the costs here: https://pay.nomodapp.com/en/l/438aeb4b04034a2f/</p><p>Follow and Connect here: https://linktr.ee/snapperturtlestudios</p>
