To be a counselor educator is to be a leader and each of us has leadership abilities that manifest in different ways throughout our professional journeys, from grad school to new professional. However, “leadership” can sometimes feel like a nebulous term that can feel difficult to define in different, educational contexts. What does it mean to be a leader while you are in your graduate education? What does it mean to be a leader when you leave school and enter the professional environment full-time? Leaders from a variety of university contexts (e.g., research-intensive institutions, teaching-focused institutions) address these issues and share their leadership experiences as graduate students and as current counselor education professionals.
