Brave on Purpose: Leading Teams with Courage, Connection, and a Whole Lot of Heart

Leadership isn't about having all the answers. It's about showing up-messy, honest, and fully human-and choosing courage over comfort again and again.

In Brave on Purpose, award-winning principal and national leadership coach Samantha Hamilton invites you behind the scenes of real school leadership. Through raw stories, practical tools, and heart-first reflection, she explores what it means to lead with purpose in the middle of the chaos, the burnout, and the breakthroughs.

This book isn't a checklist or a theory. It's a companion for leaders in the trenches-those who are rebuilding school culture, navigating hard change, and holding space for others while trying to stay whole themselves.

Whether you're a principal, teacher leader, or educator leading change in any corner of your school, Brave on Purpose offers the fuel, focus, and faith to help you stay the course-and build a legacy that lasts.

Because the best leadership doesn't happen when things are easy.

It happens when you choose to be brave-on purpose..
