Noticing is a small thing that makes a big impact, and if you’ve read Legacy of Learning, you know I’m about mosquito moves. Big moves can intimidate me. Small moves executed consistently? That I can do.
The Noticing Notebook
When We Don’t Know
If we don’t figure this out, it will be difficult to endure, and we need healthy people in schools. As Zach Mercurio, author of The Power of Mattering says, “We can’t have healthy organizations with unhealthy people.”
The Hidden Superpower
If you want to grow the potential of others, start by nurturing the potential within yourself.
Healing our Community
Technology can bring us together. It can help us find each other in the wilderness, but it’s how we navigate the wilderness together that will determine our collective future.
Keep Walking
And you know why you’re growing? Because you keep walking. You keep walking through this hard, beautiful life and these days, that takes fortitude, guts, and sheer determination
Be the Change
I encourage us all to be the change we wish to see in our schools. One conversation at a time. One day at a time. One brave step at a time.
Hopeful Skepticism
Often, we become what we think about. We become what we do. “We become our conversations” as my friend, Kelly Croy says So, if we are not careful, in our cynicism, we may create the very world which we fear. We may create the very worst possible reality for ourselves and others.
Culture and Climate
Our first step is recognizing this and holding ourselves accountable for the standard we expect from others.
Eyes on the Mission
Keep going. A better world is built by the people who keep trying with open hearts and minds despite it all.
90% Happier
Think about that. Think about how powerful we can be in our own lives. We can be a force for good. We can lead ourselves. We can champion ourselves.
