Please visit this link to reserve some time to have an informal chat about what’s going on at your school and to see if some resources can be provided to you, need to talk to someone to see if what’s being asked of you is normal, or if you’d like to set up a series of ongoing coaching calls.
As an Advancement Director, you’re probably the person that isn’t in the school for most of the time and the rest of the staff wonders what you’re doing, or you get things dumped on your plate because it’s “fundraising, and that’s your job now.”
There are many times that one facet of the leadership of a school isn’t aligned with another facet. Members of the board may have their ideas, which could be different from the Head of School’s ideas, and a Principal and CFO bring their own points of view to the conversation.
And sometimes, you just need to vent.
Been there, and know what you’re going through.
