How to Leave Education with Julie Ulstrup Transformative Principal 631
Download MP3In this podcast interview, Julie Ulstrup discusses the concept of the "Zone of Brilliance," where individuals can create a vision and achieve their dreams. She emphasizes the importance of having a definite chief aim and aligning one's actions, time, and money with that aim. Ulstrup highlights the common problem of educators providing a lot of value but not being compensated fairly for it.
She suggests that educators can increase their income by understanding their zone of brilliance, changing their mindset about compensation, and becoming more aware of their transferable skills. Ulstrup also challenges the idea put forth by Simon Sinek that one should start with "why" when setting goals, arguing that teachers should focus on their zone of brilliance and act accordingly.
- Zone of Brilliance - We help everyone else create a vision and achieve their dreams.
- Every achievement is a result of a definite chief aim
- How you see yourself, how others see you, how you spend your time, how you spend your money.
- We say we value something, but we do something else.
- It looks like doing nothing.
- Impact, influence, increase and income.
- We know it is our zone of brilliance when we feel it inside.
- How to change your mindset about compensation.
- Common and chronic problem that educators provide a lot of value and don’t get paid enough for it.

- How we serve on the earth is how we can define ourselves.
- How much did the US pay out for all the Olympic gold, silver and bronze medals?
- Teachers do have a lot of transferable skills.

- Simon Sinek was wrong - Don’t start with why
- Teachers have skills that can work well in other settings.
- Teachers have always been in sales.
- Mindset, human-centered part of being an entrepreneur.
- Five minutes and use the quote by Sarah Blankely “The biggest risk is not taking a risk” - Journal about that for two minutes. “I serve and I deserve” and what does that mean?
- Venn to Zen.
