Learner. Human. Joyologist.
I need a t-shirt that says, "Make Feedback Normal." I don't want to feel like I'm being chased by lions. I want to feel like I'm nourishing my heart, mind, and spirit as I work to evolve and grow into the best human being and leader that I can be.
If we want to change the world, we can start by changing ourselves. Let's own it. Let's be ridiculously in charge!
We get the most from our brains when we experience unexpected thrills and delights. How might we disrupt our normal in pursuit of big magic? How might we bring unexpected thrills and delights to our students? This is not frill or extra, this is a significant part the work. This is a way to gain deeper access to higher happiness levels. Happiness has the power to turn on all of the learning centers of the brain.
Change our thoughts and watch our actions change the world.
There are billions of beautiful little moments going on around the world that we may never know about, and I'm on a mission to find some of them.
It was 2011 and the Xavier Men's Basketball team was about to win the A-10 conference. In keeping with tradition, at the end of that last home game, the team and coaching staff would take turns climbing a ladder to cut off a piece of the basketball net.
It's what we do with our dissent that really matter in the end.
How little choices we make can have a big impact.
It is such a profound honor to support educators who are doing the hard work of making this world a better place for kids. I don't ever want to take that for granted. I don't ever want to take educators for granted. We need the work of educators perhaps more than ever.
Where are we racing to, and why? The tricks our brain plays on us, and why it's important to notice.
