Episode notes
Today we’re going to talk about an often-ignored subject of leadership – mental health. My guest today is Evan Whitehead. Evan has spent most of his career in education as a teacher, a coach, and in a variety of educational leadership positions. He was a former Division 1 football player who has enjoyed a successful leadership career. But there was a problem. Evan was dying inside. Like many leaders, he struggled for years with anxiety and depression. Eventually, it came to a head and Evan ended up in the hospital. This is an important episode about a leadership subject that we don’t talk about enough – mental health. Every leader needs to hear Evan’s story and learn from his experience
