His new book, The Mastermind: Unlocking the Talent Within Every School Leader introduces a proprietary process called the ABCs of powerful professional development™ which is changing the landscape of how school leaders experience professional development. Key Thoughts from Our Interview with Danny Bauer Danny wastes no time about the harsh reality that 90% of school leaders who leave their school, leave the profession. The cost of retention is too high, which is why joining a community of dedicated professionals is paramount. Listen to Danny explore the imposter syndrome--how it limits our abilities, why it kicks in, and how we can push past our self-defeating behaviors when we are a member of the right community. Danny shares a quote: What’s ordinary for you is extraordinary for me. ~ Derek Sivers. Check out entrepreneur and founder of CD Baby, Derek Sivers, you won't be disappointed. A big part of the Mastermind process is the “hotseat” protocol. It’s where we challenge one another to do and be better. Listen to what Danny says about the collective IQ.

What is Danny looking forward to in his future? Eventually, he wants to serve 1200+ leaders in his Mastermind.
