Season 2, Episode 10: Leading with Positivity, with Glenn Robbins

We’re excited to bring you today’s episode with Glenn Robbins, proud superintendent of Brigantine School District in Brigantine, New Jersey. Glenn shares his approach to leadership with Misty and Jamie - an approach that’s rooted in positivity and empowerment. We packed a lot into this short episode, and we can’t wait to have Glenn back on later this school year. 

A quick housekeeping note: we experienced some technical difficulties with the audio late in this episode.
