Check out Charlie Rankin's Education Session on Leading with Impact

Date: Friday, January 16th

Time: 7:55 to 8:45 am EST

Location: Room 107

Topic: "The CEO's Approach to Confidence - Built on Behavior, Not Results"

Session Focus: What does “The Power in Our Profession” look like when we lead with a CEO mindset? In this dynamic session, Charlie Rankin offers a fresh perspective on music program leadership—one rooted in entrepreneurship, systems thinking, and sustainable growth. Drawing from over 20 years of experience in education and business, Charlie shares practical strategies for running your program like a CEO: from branding and budgeting to building partnerships and leading with vision. This session challenges traditional mindsets by introducing a powerful shift—from confidence based on results to confidence rooted in consistent behaviors and core values. Through real-world insight and personal reflection, educators will walk away with tools to expand their impact, avoid burnout, and lead with clarity, purpose, and the mindset of an impact maker.
