  • Why Principals Are Burning Out and What Jackie Campbell Is Doing About It
    2025/03/24

    Leadership in education is at a breaking point. Principals across the country are overwhelmed, isolated, and under immense pressure to deliver results without the tools or support systems to do so. In this compelling episode, Josh Cary sits down with veteran educator and transformational leader Jackie Campbell, a Southern California principal and CEO of Collaboration and Communication Consultant, LLC.

    With over 30 years of experience, from the classroom to district-level leadership, Jackie reveals why so many educational leaders are struggling and lays out a powerful new approach to sustainable, collaborative leadership that is already producing record-setting results in her own school. If you care about leadership, culture, and the future of education, this conversation will shift your perspective.

    Why leadership isn't about title or authority, but about intentionally listening, aligning with your team's goals, and creating a shared vision of success.

    The Time Crisis in Leadership

    Why Most Leadership Training Falls Short

    Jackie breaks down how traditional training programs fail to prepare principals for the realities of school leadership, and what must be embedded in future training models.

    The Power of “Outside the Boss” Collaboration

    Why real solutions happen when school leaders collaborate without the pressure of district directives, and how Jackie is building a national community to make this happen.

    How to Build a Legacy of Leadership

    Why Jackie believes the future of education requires embedding collaborative leadership structures into university programs and cultivating the next generation of assistant principals through mentorship and shared leadership.


    Memorable Quotes

    “Leadership is not about the title. It’s about co-creating a vision for success, and then getting out of the way.”

    “We have to think outside the boss. True collaboration happens when there’s no pressure—just people solving problems together.”
