The conversation centers on transparency, authenticity, and the kind of connection that builds real trust. Each host offers personal resolutions rooted in curiosity, love, generosity, and joy, while also wrestling with the realities of leadership in schools today. They reflect on the importance of staying close to the student experience and end with thoughtful predictions about the future of education, including the growing influence of AI and the rising importance of student agency. Take Aways Strong leadership starts with reflection—looking back before moving forward. Transparency and authenticity are foundational to trust. Curiosity reframes leadership from control to mentorship. Being visible and present matters more than being perfect. Love and connection belong at the center of leadership, not the margins. Doing fewer things exceptionally well creates greater impact. Protecting joy is not a luxury—it’s a leadership responsibility. Small acts of generosity can ripple through an entire school culture. AI will meaningfully reshape education, whether we’re ready or not. Student agency will play an increasingly central role in learning. Soundbites: “Lead at the speed of trust.” “Curiosity is kindness.” “Do fewer things exceptionally well.” Time Stamps 00:00 – Reflecting on Leadership Resolutions 07:04 – Garth’s Leadership Resolutions 10:01 – Jason’s Leadership Resolutions 12:57 – Growing Leadership Through Trust 16:01 – Staying Connected to the Student Experie… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/lassoing-leadership-6619360/episodes/garth-jason-s-educational-predictions-and-leadership-resolutions-for-2026-s3e22/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/lassoing-leadership-6619360/garth-jason-s-educational-predictions-and-leadership-resolutions-for-2026-s3e22.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
