I inspire and empower educational leaders to rekindle their passion, purpose, and enthusiasm as a school leader in order to create thriving educational communities
What People Are Saying
“Listening to Scott pose the question “What goals are worthy of our students’ one precious life?” inspired our faculty. Tiger Talk was a pivotal day in the reconceptualization of how we see our work as educators at Norman High School, and Scott was an integral part of that transformation. If you need a message on purpose, on culture building, or developing a life that transcends the obvious and the temporary, Scott is your man.”— Dr. Scott Beck Principal
“Dr. Martin has been a generous and insightful guide in our journey to build Evergreen Academy. He offered thoughtful coaching calls and has been a consistent presence at key gatherings of educational innovators. His experience, humility, and heart for transformation make him a valuable partner for any leader reimagining education
— Matina Hunnell Co-founder, Evergreen Academy
“Scott has been instrumental in our organization’s understanding of education in its current state as well as our ability to envision all things new. This goes beyond tactics, practices and strategies. It is an imaginative voice that calls us to reimagine ALL things new. Scott is fully and uniquely qualified with experience and knowledge that make him a true expert. Partnered with this expertise is his compelling presentation style, making him a perfect asset to any group, event or conference.”
— Kim Bandy Head of Spero Project
Are you ready to lead your school with renewed enthusiasm, energy, clarity, and purpose?
As a transformational school leader, you should find meaning, purpose, fulfillment, and joy in your work
But if you're like most school administrators, you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, unappreciated, and even burnt out by the immense pressures constantly coming at you from every direction.
School administration is hard, lonely work
It requires long hours, early mornings, late nights, and difficult decisions
Research shows that school leaders report worse well-being than any other working adult
85% of principals experience job-related stress, compared with 35 percent of other working adults.
48% of principals are dealing with burnout, while 28 percent report symptoms of depression.
And 30% of principals leave their positions within five years, with burnout being one the primary reasons cited
There is a dire need for a system of support, encouragement, inspiration, and hope to come alongside school administrators to not only keep them in the game long term, but to provide them the ability and capacity to do the work they love with purpose and meaning
