About the Book

Feeling overextended, discouraged, or stressed? No matter where you are in your educational career, chances are you have, at times, felt overwhelmed and overworked. Maybe you feel that way right now. If so, you aren’t alone. But the more important news is that things can get better! You simply need the right map to help you move from frustrated to fulfilled. Unmapped Potential: An Educator’s Guide to Lasting Change can help you find your unique path to becoming the kind of educator–the kind of person–you want to be. You’ll learn…

What your mental map is and how it shapes your thoughts and actions
Why and how changing your thoughts can improve your results
What self-limiting (perhaps, subconscious) beliefs may be preventing you from moving forward
How you communicate your limiting or empowering beliefs to students and colleagues
How to create habits that support the kind of life you want to live

Sharing personal stories and drawing on mind-set and brain research, principals Julie Hasson and Missy Lennard reveal strategies that will help you create lasting, positive change for you, your colleagues, and your students. Discover your own unmapped potential.

Educators have an undeniable impact, which is only limited by their own beliefs and expectations. After all, beliefs inform actions, and actions create outcomes. In Unmapped Potential, Julie and Missy focus on changing limiting beliefs into empowering expectations. This is the fertile soil where the seeds of lasting change can grow.

These educators understand that to address change effectively, a leader first must be reflective about his/her own practice. This book supports purposeful action rather than ineffective reaction to challenges. I have had the privilege of working with both of these outstanding leaders. Their actions are in line with their words. This book is a must read for teachers and administrators!

– Joyce Haines, Ph.D., M.Ed. Program Coordinator in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at the University of South Florida

In a world obsessed with the hopelessness and bureaucracy in education, this book leads the movement to shift the focus to the power every educational leader has on making a positive impact on their school and their students. Julie and Missy challenge educators to develop their mental maps and the maps of others, to better navigate the changing educational topography.

– Jessica Solano, Florida Teacher of the Year 2017
