gcLi Leadership Podcast
The Gardner Carney Leadership Institute's, (gcLi) mission makes clear that there is an inextricable connection between leadership and citizenship. We are committed to the idea that leadership must be cultivated. The healthy, effective, and benevolent functioning of classrooms, sports teams, schools, local communities, and entire nations depends upon it. Leadership is an active struggle, an exercise of character and values, a willingness to be in dialogue with diverse viewpoints, an ability to take risks and to engage wholeheartedly and uncomfortably with groups. To do it well, one must be willing to be in a lifelong journey to become more self-aware. In short, the path to leadership and thus to citizenship consists of all the skills and behaviors that the gcLi has taught since its inaugural Leadership Lab 2005. In my view, never has such training been more relevant. gcLi's Mission: Educating Teachers to Teach Leadership to Students.

Leadership: The Many Hats Teachers Wear
On today's episode, Berdy speaks with former Leadership Lab graduate, Reina Stimpson, Head of Upper School and Director of the Student Leadership Program at The Derryfield School.
Berdy: "Teachers, especially in independent schools, we wear many hats. And that's one thing I love about the lab is when we come together and start kind of taking off the hats and reminding ourselves why we're there in the first place, why we chose this profession, we can really kind of gain that alignment that leads you to bigger and brighter things."
