Miranda  \nAbstract  \nResearch shows that oral dialogue has a positive impact on educational leadership wellness and practice. Having regular focused and informal conversations about educational issues and daily challenges is instrumental in reducing stress, anxiety, and emotional distress among educational leaders. However, diverse tensions related to personal and professional situations, along with the lack of conversational competence, can affect educational leaders’wellness and practice. This article presents solid elements that demonstrate how constructive dialogue, through oral conversations with open-ended inquiries to understand perspectives, can positively impact educational leaders’well-being and, consequently, their professional performance.  \nThe etymology of the word dialogue derives from the Greek word dialogos. Dia means“through,” whereas logos translates to “word” or “meaning.” Oral dialogue is a flow of meaning or a multidirectional exchange of speech. It is a conversation between two or more persons sharing ideas and opinions. Language is what humans use to communicate their thoughts while interacting with others. Dialogue is the cornerstone of these interactions and education is the result of them, whereas culture is the historical identity of a group (Kramsch, 1998) . The satisfaction I experienced through my dialogic interactions with students was the main reason for my decision to switch from being a lawyer to a teacher a long time ago. Through dialogic interactions with students, teachers, principals, and parents, as a teacher and later as a viceprincipal I comprehended the importance of oral dialogue to ensure clear communication, facilitate the teaching-learning process, and improve wellness and practice. My open conversations with the school community about daily struggles helped to reduce our levels of stress and increased performance. This life-changing experience confirmed that a dialogic approach – the focused, informal, and regular conversations with open-ended questions to understand perspectives – can enhance wellness and practices. When leaders and school communities work together in dialogue, transformational education occurs (Freire, 1970) . Expressing thoughts and feelings through words is a powerful asset to the teaching-learning process.  \nEducational leaders dwell in between tensions aroused from conflicts at home and work. Currently, symptoms of many emotional issues can be perceived among educational leaders (Dor-Haim, 2023) . From chief executive officers to educational assistants, tensions and lack of conversational competence are factors for wellness and performance loss. Principals, teachers, and other educational leaders are immersed in a problem-solving environment. Educational leadership often involves emotionally complex policy discussions and political matters like protests and voting policies (Grosland & Roberts, 2021) . These policies directly affect not only schools but also the interactions among educational leaders, school districts, school boards, and school communities. The stress and anxiety caused by the pressure to follow such policies, which sometimes do not address the reality of all school communities, and the lack of oral dialogue contribute to leaders’ burnout (Grosland & Roberts, 2021) . Educational leaders’wellness and practice can suffer when they cannot handle the emotional distress triggered by various tensions and do not talk about it (Doyle Fosco et al. , 2023) . Emotional distress without proper oral communication can negatively affect the wellness and practice of educational leaders.  \nWhile Allen et al. (2023) and Hartney et al. (2021) suggested that a dialogic approach has the potential to develop only educational leadership practice, I argue that a dialogic approach  \nalso impacts educational leadership wellness.
