Jill Siler, Executive Coach

About Me

I served as the superintendent of Gunter ISD for nearly 10 years and now serve as TASA Deputy Executive Director for Professional Learning. As part of my work with the association, I lead the TASA Aspiring Superintendents Academy and TASA First-Time Superintendents Academy. I have a passion for helping others reach their goals, so I also serve as an executive coach for the TASA Executive Coaching Network.

In addition to my work with TASA, I speak at leadership and teacher conferences across the country. In 2020, I released my first book, Thrive Through The Five: Practical Truths to Powerfully Lead through Challenging Times, which was the #1 Bestselling New Release for Education Administration books and has hit the Top 10 Education Leadership books multiple times since its release. In 2021, Thrive Through the Five was honored with four Eric Hoffer Awards including Reference Category Winner and Montaigne Medal finalist.

I began my career as a teacher and coach in Pflugerville ISD and started my administrative career in Marble Falls ISD. In 2004, I went to Lake Travis ISD, where I served as a campus and district leader for eight years. During that time, I completed my doctorate at the University of Texas.

I grew up in Rochester and Buffalo, New York, and completed my undergraduate work at the University of Pittsburgh, where I was a collegiate swimmer.
