How do you build a thrive-first culture of collaboration when stress is at an all-time high?

In this episode of Building a Culture of Collaboration, Kurtis and Lorna sit down with Dr. Dan Stecken—Superintendent of Seneca Township High School, author of "Stressed Leaders: Stay in the Game," and founder of the Stressed Leaders Summit.

Dan shares how he used out-of-the-box collaboration to combat school enrollment declines by helping build a housing subdivision, how losing 120+ pounds reshaped his leadership perspective, and how leaders can reconnect with their core purpose.
