In this episode, we spoke with an incredibly inspirational school principal about her long journey to being able to confidently express herself in a profession with firm rules and expectations.
Lara Pechard works in a world where parents and colleagues (often principals) alike have certain preconceptions of what principals should look like and present themselves. . She explains that it has taken many years, but she now has the attitude that she is who she is and that her external attributes have nothing to do with her skills as a principal.
We talk about the importance of being yourself and not being judged, and we have interesting stories about how we can look after our children’s mental health (Lara talks about mental health initiatives in schools). has won an award). We also have time to talk about her passion for fragrance.
I wish more principals had the confidence and confidence to show their students that they believe in who they are and need to express that to the world. Sometimes “breaking the rules” is the most powerful and freeing thing we can do for ourselves and set the best example for those around us.
