In this episode of Leading Out Loud, Chantell Manahan sits down with Dr. Dana Altemeyer, a fellow French-teacher-turned-district-leader, to explore why storytelling is one of the most powerful tools in educational leadership.
Together, they unpack how great leaders use storytelling to build trust, strengthen relationships, and shape school culture. From everyday emails and staff updates to district-wide communication strategies, every message tells a story and those stories influence how people feel, connect, and engage.
This conversation bridges the human side of communication with the strategic systems that help storytelling scale across a school or district. You’ll walk away with practical insights on communicating with empathy, aligning messages with values, and designing communication systems that support trust instead of eroding it.
Whether you’re a school leader, district administrator, or educator looking to improve how you communicate, this episode will challenge you to think more intentionally about the stories your messages are telling.
