112: The Conversation You’re Avoiding Is the One You Need Most with Zoë Beckham

Have you ever found yourself venting about someone on your team, only to realize... you’ve never actually talked to them about it? In this episode of The Catching Up with Casey Show, I’ll sit down with Zoë Beckham from Pivot School Improvement Leaders who’s seeing the same trend in school after school: frustrated leaders avoiding direct conversations. We’ll talk about why it happens, how it’s holding teams back, and what it actually takes to face the issue head-on without the drama or dread. If you’ve ever said “I just don’t want to deal with it,” this conversation is for you.
