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.
Healing our Community
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.
Get Your Pink Back
But as I say in Legacy of Learning, we don’t have to be perfect to do these jobs and make a positive impact. We need to learn, care, and keep trying.
Healing & Human
And man, I can’t help but marvel at how lucky we are to be alive. To see another sunrise and feel another hug. I’m living this life for both of us. My dad and me. And I’m more aware than ever how lucky I am to be here to see more years than he ever did.
Through the Adults
Of course it’s important and meaningful for leaders to have positive relationships with students. What I’m saying, however, is that leaders are most impactful when they are strategic with their approach. Mathematically speaking, there are more kids in the school than adults. And each adult plays some kind of role in supporting kids. So, pour into the adults, and they will pour into the kids.
