The reverence for greatness in the NBA is at a different level than in any other sport. @miketirico explains to @ryenarussillo how a moment between Gordon Hayward and Kobe Bryant was the truest embodiment of that.

Has anyone used the Leader in Me program based on Covey's 7 habits? Looking into it and seeing mixed reviews. Strengths? Weaknesses? Would you recommend it? #leaderinme #edchat #educate #character

#3 is what I try to preach to staff. Accept that things change, but as these new and different things come along, always bring it back to the core of education. How will this help kids?

@JZagorski1 I just started creating with a free program called Openshot. It's free and can do a ton. I'm thinking it would help.

It almost always comes back to empathy. #leadership #education #seektounderstand

[David Geurin @DavidGeurin]

Empathy is seeing things from another person’s perspective.

It’s also recognizing my perspective is sometimes clouded by my own stuff.

The stuff that usually undermines empathy is fear, anxiety, and insecurity.

It takes courage to have empathy.

“Rough times will always happen, but they will not stay. Good times will happen, but they will not remain.That is part of what it is to be human. The trick is not to get caught up thinking that one moment, good or bad, is something that will stay forever.” https://t.co/efOsDLoMHr

"Your employees are adults. We've created so many processes and guidelines to keep employees in place that we've ended up with systems that treat people like they're children. They're not. Fully formed adults walk in the door every single day." https://t.co/tIID9mg7CR
