INTRO: In the previous episode, we heard from Jeff Young who told us about complex change and a process for coaching leaders through complex situations. My guest this week also gives us guidance on the complex, and she also gives us a clear example of how she faced a really COMPLICATED situation just soon after starting her new role with the Texas Association of School Administrators. Jill Siler joins me this week. Thanks for tuning in!

BIO: Dr. Jill Siler is a former Texas superintendent who is now Deputy Executive Director for Professional Learning with the Texas Association of School Administrators in Austin, Texas. She is a leader, a speaker, and the author of Thrive Through the Five: Practical Truths to Powerfully Lead through Challenging Times.
