ABOUT
We’ve found most education leaders to have beautiful uphill dreams. but unfortunately, their wonderful intentions are often paired with downhill habits.
And when individuals finally find a routine that works, a lack of team clarity and consistency holds them back.
This sad reality is why we focus so much on building the right habits and systems for both individuals and teams.
We don't need to be bogged down. It's possible to lead authentically, spend our time doing what matters most, and meet the demands of your position.
Like us, we know you have a pretty clear why.
Our workshops, courses, and resources offer you the how to make it happen!
Given you've read this far, you totally get it, right?
Meeting and helping like-minded people like you is exactly why we created Warm Demanders in the tumultuous summer of 2020.
BELIEF #1
People want to be led by an authentic, calm, and caring leader.
BELIEF #2
Clarity precedes competence, confidence, and creativity.
BELIEF #3
Make your management boring, so your leadership can be dynamic.
INAUTHENTICITY IS EXHAUSTING
The price of being inauthentic is simply too high.
Unfortunately, many leaders don't know how to lead while staying true to themselves and become exhausted trying to play a role one minute and switch to their true persona the next.
TRUE TO YOURSELF
Trial and error learning is the worst, right?!
When we vision-boarded Warm Demanders, we couldn't let go of our deep desire to help a new wave of leaders avoid joining us as graduates of the School of Hard Knocks. We had plenty of ideas, but kept coming back to this key motivation!
Imagine yourself with more time for conversations, leading impactful meetings, and feeling like you're the same person at home, with friends, and at work.
This is what we dreamed about for you and what makes our souls sing.
"Thank you for sharing your thoughtful wisdom and expertise! Your schools were so blessed to have your leadership!"
Telena - Superintendent
"Aubrey has an incredible charisma that is distinctly humble and warm, yet still markedly confident and adept. He demonstrates pure joy and deep thought in everything he does."
Jackie - Dean of University Studies
HI, I'M AUBREY
Our Warm Demanders team of experienced school and district leaders have many characteristics and experiences in common.
We started Warm Demanders in the summer of 2020 and there's one key problem that kept surfacing at every meeting: we all struggled with the traditional expectations for school and district administrators.
You know ... the paradigm that admin needs to be transactional or authoritarian.
That's simply not who we are and we're all proud to be outliers in this regard.
One day, Melody suggested that we do something remarkable for people like us to try to help people like you - leaders who believe in being kind, respectful, and calm, while also pushing themselves and others to be the best they can be.
And Maryam suggested we expand to support new professionals who might be a bit intimidated and feel a lot of pressure to gain their team’s trust and make an impact.
It's been so wonderful to help thousands of people in the past four years.
And now we've found you.
Whether you join us or find what you need in our free resources, I hope you'll feel welcome and share these warm vibes with your people.☀️
Aubrey Patterson, CEO & Chief Headache Remover, Warm Demanders Inc
