episode S4 E12: Trust First—The Foundation Every Instructional Leader Needs with Dr. Delia Racines artwork

S4 E12: Trust First—The Foundation Every Instructional Leader Needs with Dr. Delia Racines

In this episode of the Lifelong Learning Defined Podcast, Dr. Jorge Valenzuela sits down with Dr. Delia Racines—educator, leadership expert, and author of Trust as the Core of Instructional Leadership—to unpack a truth many leaders overlook: without trust, nothing else works. Dr. Racines shares her journey from criminology to education and how that path shaped her leadership philosophy. This conversation breaks down what new leaders should actually do in their first 30 days, why trust matters more than positional authority, and how emotional intelligence strengthens every interaction in a school. They also get practical—covering strategies like listening before leading, creating space for all voices, and using simple protocols like “spend an ego buck” to build consensus and buy-in across teams. If you are leading instruction, supporting teachers, or working to strengthen school culture, this episode will give you clear direction rooted in real experience.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
