In this episode of Leaders of Today, I share my personal journey from teaching chemistry to coaching young leaders. What started as a career in science turned into a calling—helping students discover their own leadership potential.
I reflect on the pivotal moments that led me to create Peers Not Fears and the lessons I’ve learned along the way:
- How my experiences as a high school teacher revealed the hidden leadership potential in students
- The challenges and rewards of stepping away from traditional education to focus on leadership coaching
- Why leadership isn’t about being born with certain traits but about intentional growth, practice, and resilience
- The impact of Peers Not Fears and how it’s helping students recognize their voices and build confidence
Whether you're an educator, a parent, or someone passionate about youth empowerment, this episode is for you. Leadership isn't just for a select few—it’s a skill that can be nurtured in every young person.
🎧 Listen now and be inspired to see leadership in a new way!
