A Father’s Quiet Leadership
In this deeply personal solo episode, Joanne reflects on an unexpected moment of clarity during a recent leadership training that brought her father, Bernard Krieg, to mind. With warmth and nostalgia, she invites you into stories from her childhood—growing up with her dad as her elementary school principal—and the subtle, powerful ways he modeled leadership through action, humor, and unwavering support.
Lessons From the Hallways of Highlands
From quirky hallway hand gestures to quiet medical accommodations made for a student in need, Joanne paints a vivid picture of a man who led not through authority, but through compassion and attentiveness. His legacy of kindness, pride in his work, and joyful presence continues to shape the way Joanne leads today—often catching herself echoing his approach in unexpected moments of her own leadership.
Leading With Heart, Humor, and Humility
As she shares sweet memories of road trips, family camping, and the quiet strength her father embodied, Joanne brings us back to what really matters. Through this moving reflection, she invites you to consider the leaders who’ve shaped you—and how you, too, can lead with love, whether or not you hold a formal title. Don’t miss the heartfelt moment when she sings the elementary school fight song her dad wrote—an unexpected tribute full of joy.
