“let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith…” Heb 12:1-2
It’s not what you’re running from; it’s what you’re running toward
Vision
Before the talk.
Before the meeting.
Before standing in front of the team.
@CoachDiDonato’s reminder:
“Apart from Him, I can do nothing.”
Coaching gives you a platform.
Prayer reminds you the impact doesn’t come from you.
Lead with humility.
Speak with purpose.
Trust God with the result.

Education is not a product or a process. It’s a people business. That’s why one of the biggest mistakes in education is treating schools like factories instead of human systems. Factories are technical systems. When something breaks, you replace the part. When production slows, you redesign the process. Technical systems respond to procedures, standardization, and compliance. But schools are different because people are different. Kids are not products. Teachers are not machines. And schools are not assembly lines. Learning is not linear. Human development is not standardized. Beliefs change outcomes. And relationships can change everything. Yet education keeps trying to solve people problems with technical solutions. More standardized testing. More teacher evaluations. More scripted curriculum. More data walls. More compliance. More programs promising the “fix.” Meanwhile teachers are burned out. Students are disconnected. And leaders wonder why culture still feels broken. Because human systems require human leadership. Relationships. Connection. Trust. Understanding. Belonging. You can improve every system in a school and still lose great teachers. Because education is not a product or a process. It’s a people business.
Today is the National Day of Prayer! "Glorify God Among the Nations - Seeking Him in All Generations." Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! -1 Chronicles 16:24

Started reading Coffee with the Custodian by @DrBradJohnson. Great reminder that leadership isn’t about titles; it’s about relationships, humility, and learning from the people around you.
Some of the best lessons don’t come from the front office. ☕️
Highly Recommend!
