If you can’t name the rules to school leadership, read this

On our final Play Your Game cohort call last week, I asked one question:

“How have you changed?”

One by one, the stories poured out.

• Erika: “I used to feel guilty prioritizing myself. Play Your Game showed me that self-care isn’t selfish — it’s essential. Now I lead with confidence and create more space for my team to thrive.”

• Nadine: “I realized I don’t have to play someone else’s game. The program gave me clarity around my values and boundaries. That clarity has transformed my leadership.”

• Dan: “Before Play Your Game, I was stuck on autopilot, always reacting. The program helped me slow down, lead intentionally, and even rediscover joy in my role again.”

Their stories reminded me of the core truth behind Play Your Game: If you can’t name the rules of the game you’re playing, then you’re playing someone else’s game.

And that’s why so many leaders feel drained, overwhelmed, and stuck reacting instead of leading.

Ruckus Makers don’t settle for that. We play our own game.

And the best part? You don’t have to wait until the next live cohort to get these kinds of results.

It’s the same framework that helped Erika, Nadine, Dan (and others) transform their leadership in just 8 weeks.

This on-demand version is:

✅ More affordable than the live cohort → so cost will never be the reason you can’t play your own game.

✅ Self-paced — do it when it works for you → no calendar stress, just progress when you’re ready.

✅ Includes all the tools and templates from the live cohort → so you can implement fast without reinventing the wheel.

The only thing you won’t get is live coaching with me and the group.

So here’s what to do next …

If you’re ready to stop playing someone else’s game, define your own rules, and lead on your terms.

Keep Making a Ruckus,
