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.”
When We Don’t Know
Play it with Love
Our love can heal.
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.
Culture and Climate
Our first step is recognizing this and holding ourselves accountable for the standard we expect from others.
Curiosity>Competition
But maybe it will turn out better than you imagined.
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.
Bird by Bird
Every mosquito move as I call it in Legacy of Learning will add up. Your 100% won’t be the same every day. But that doesn’t meant you didn’t give it your all today. What matters most is that we keep trying.
Readers, Moles, and Data
Do not minimize your story. Your story is not too small. You are not too small to tell it. We need your stories. We need to make space for storytelling and story listening in our schools and organizations.
An Overlooked Durable Skill
Remain in patience pursuit of what matters most. And be patient with yourself and others as you work to make it happen.
Good on Purpose
As Elizabeth Gilbert says, “The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.”
