Read Dr Santi's storyLeadership in the home
Children learn leadership from the life they are invited into.
Before it is a role or a title, leadership can begin at home: in how adults listen, make choices, repair, stay curious, and make room for others.
Dr Santi’s Story connects reading and reflection with the small, repeatable practices that help a family grow together.
