LEADERSHIP. EDUCATION. PERSONAL GROWTH.
Greetings! I'm Dr. Jared Smith. I'm an educator, author, speaker, fitness enthusiast, and lifelong learner.
In 2008 I accepted my first job as a school administrator. “This leadership thing can’t be too complicated” I predicted while preparing for my new endeavor. However, it didn’t take long to discover I was in over my head. Whereas I survived four years of (mediocre) teaching through determination and perseverance, I couldn’t fake my way through supervising adults. I quickly realized if I didn’t learn how to lead, I would forever be miserable at work.
MY STORY
So I went back to school to earn my superintendent’s license and PhD in educational leadership. As I progressed through my coursework, I was motivated by the results. Not only was my confidence as a leader growing, I also began to see the positive impact lifelong learning had on all aspects of my life.
After earning my doctorate, my appreciation for learning continued to evolve. By 2019 I accumulated a large amount of research and content but didn’t have a way to share my findings. I decided creating a website would allow me to share my experiences with others.
I am excited to share my passion for lifelong learning with others!

TESTIMONIALS
Turning Points is a necessary read for anyone serving in educational leadership! This book takes a more personal perspective into all of the foundational components that most other leadership books don't address. Most impressive is that it is told from the heart by a leader that has his boots on the ground doing the foundational work needed for servant leadership!
