Leader Chat
We’re passionate about quality education and work tirelessly to help schools improve. District and system leaders bear awesome responsibility for these efforts, often without access to peers and experts who can provide solutions and insights. That’s why we offer a weekly Leader Chat with top K–12 experts, business executives, and school leaders from around the country to discuss and solve real leadership challenges.

Jeff and Arthur discuss and explore the evolution of happiness studies, the transition from fluid to crystallized intelligence, and the importance of compassionate and metacognitive leadership. Arthur also shares insights from his diverse career, his collaboration with Oprah Winfrey, and practical advice for leaders on fostering well-being and managing emotions. Enjoy!
