Are you ready to be a leader? In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, I sat down with a returning guest, Dr. Karen Dudek-Brannan to talk about how she helps SLPs step into the leadership role so that they can give their students the kind of help that they need. Dr. Karen is the founder and CEO of Dr. Karen, LLC, a company focused on helping K-12 therapists (SLPs, psychologists, social workers, and other service providers) be better leaders so they can provide comprehensive support for their caseloads. Specifically, she helps them develop programming around language, literacy, and executive functioning. Before starting her company, she spent 14 years working in the public school system. She has a doctorate in Special Education and a Director of Special Education credential, as well as an M.S. and B.S. in Speech Pathology; all from Illinois State University.Tune in to learn more about building relationships and trust in your workplace and taking on leadership roles. Full show notes available at www.speechtimefun.com/158Resources Mentioned: Visit Dr. Karen’s website: https://drkarenspeech.com/Listen to my previous episode with Dr. Karen: https://speechtimefun.com/but-there-isnt-a-language-curriculum/Get the free guide on 30 tools to foster generalization: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/generalizationCheck out the De Facto Leaders podcast: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/blog/Check out the De Facto Leaders Podcast FB page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088427702647Join Dr. Karen’s Speech & Language FB page: https://www.facebook.com/drkarenspeechFollow Dr. Karen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkarenspeechlanguage/Where We Can Connect: Follow the Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/slp-coffee-talk/id1497341007Follow Hallie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speechtimefunFollow Hallie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SpeechTimeFun/Follow Hallie on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/missspeechie/
