Ch. 4: An action we can take to turn excuses into solutions is to first make sure we have accurate data on our kids no matter how low and then instead of blaming the kids or others we create a plan based on the data. #creightonstickstogether
Ch. 3: Specific action our team could implement to achieve great outcomes is to have a common team goal, that aligns to the campus goals, we want to achieve and constantly see if we are achieving the goal. #creightonstickstogether#sticktogether
Ch. 2: A motivation I could use to get my team excited about the stick challenge is bringing them their favorite treat when starting the challenge. Prizes donโt hurt either ๐. #creightonstickstogether#sticktogether
Ch. 1: what has held me back from leading my team to be the best has been exhaustion. When trying to get those around you be the best and there is constant negativity and fighting can be exhausting and make you want to stop trying. #creightonstickstogether#sticktogether
