Small Fires

We need to collectively engage, with our hearts and our minds through intentional conversations to successfully sustain the journey. Join Lucinda Wolters, a passionate school leader and an Adaptive Schools Agency Trainer, as she shares her perspectives, on what's necessary for school leadership today, and interviews other leaders, as they navigate innovation and change in schools.

EP20 Educational Leader, Coach and Author, Kevin Reimer
Sunday, 22 February, 2026

In episode 20 of Small Fires, Lucinda has the honour of interviewing Kevin Reimer, a mentor, former colleague, and friend. They explore the evolution of Kevin's leadership identity over a lifetime in education. Kevin, a former principal as well as a former President and Executive Director of the BC Principals' and Vice-Principals' Association, reflects on how mentorship, lived experience, and curiosity shaped his journey. They discuss the power of relationships, the importance of navigating complexity with ongoing openness, and why seasoned leadership shifts from having all the answers to asking better questions. Kevin's new book is also discussed in this interview, which is called "A Year of Leading: A 40-Week Leadership Compass for Principals and Vice-Principals." It is certainly a practical and reflective guide designed to support school leaders at every stage of their careers. Blending research, metaphor, and real-world experience, the book offers thoughtful encouragement and steady guidance for those leading schools today. It is a very supportive and relevant book for today's principal as well as anyone aspiring to become one. Check out his website here: https://howtoprincipal.com/
