Many leadership initiatives in education need to come from the top… But change can happen when direct service providers emerge as leaders on their teams without waiting for permission from someone else. School administrators and other people making decisions at the district and policy level are constantly pulled in different directions. The further up the chain you go and the more people you’re managing, the longer it takes to make things happen. Good leaders WANT their teachers and therapists to come to them with ideas and show initiative. In fact, they often need their team members to show this leadership. But this can be scary to do if you don’t see yourself as a leader. When people don’t pursue career transitions or leadership roles, it’s often NOT because they aren’t interested in the work. It’s often because they don’t think they’ll be successful or they aren’t sure what their options are. That’s why I wanted to invite Meg Niman to the “De Facto Leaders” podcast to talk about working in education and the tech world, as well as the concept of an alter ego. Meg was a user experience designer for 17 years in San Francisco, Seattle, and Philadelphia. She worked for Microsoft, Fitbit, LeapFrog and many startups. Prior to tech, Meg taught elementary school with Teach For America. The Alter Ego Project blends Meg’s expertise in design thinking, personas, and creativity with her passion for helping people pursue a more authentic life. In this conversation Meg shares: ?What it was like working with Teach for America and why teaching is the hardest job she’s ever done. ?How she transitioned from education to tech, and how to leverage transferable skills and experiences. ?Why many K-12 education problems are really just “human problems” that also exist in other agencies and fields. ?How team members can separate work-related disagreements from their personal relationships outside of team meetings. ?The Alter Ego Project: How to use alter egos to decrease burnout, level up in your career, and live a more intentional life.

Today I’m sharing an interview I did with Amy Baugh, a member of Language Therapy Advance Foundations. Amy Baugh is an experienced SLP, a life-long learner and truly enjoys listening to podcasts, joining SLP groups on social media and collaborating with her besties about all things’ speech, language and being a business owner. She is the proud mother of two college aged daughters and enjoys learning and practicing functional health, working out, reading, and cooking. She is the owner of Elation Speech and Language Services. When Amy took a position at a high school with a large caseload, she knew she needed a solid strategy for keeping intervention intensive, but also ensuring teachers and paraprofessionals had the information they needed to support students in class, which is what inspired her to join Language Therapy Advance Foundations. When many clinicians come to me for support, they’re often focused on the “micro”, such as planning sessions. That’s why one of the first things I give clinicians I support is a framework clinicians can use for language therapy in direct intervention. However, once clinicians have their heads above water and they have the mental bandwidth to focus on the “macro”, they realize what else is possible when it comes to the impact they can make, as well as career opportunities. In Amy’s case, it meant being able to focus on training teachers and paraprofessionals to implement language intervention in the classroom, as well as having an intervention framework to use when she started a private practice. In this conversation, we discuss: ?The power of consultation and coaching when you have a large caseload. ?The “house” strategy for initiating collaborations with teachers and adjacent disciplines. ?Why focusing on your “systems”, like your schedule, habits, and frameworks can help you get buy-in from teachers and administration. ?The importance of syntax, vocabulary, and word study at the secondary level.
