This is a very relevant quote from this week's material by Mary Pender Greene:

If we pretend to know it all, no one reaches out to us. When we ask for help and guidance, many hands are extended. @niamhickey @patriciamannixm @Leaders_SoE #pdsl

[Lucy Fitzgerald @LucyFi23]

A leader should not shy away from conflict as there can be benefits from it. Even though they may be difficult to see at the time, they will identify themselves eventually if conflict is handled professionally. #pdsl #leadership @patriciamannixm @niamhickey @Leaders_SoE

[Josephine Kelleher @joestravelpack]

Playing it safe as a leader & staying anonymous might seem like the right thing but in the words of Ron Carrucci ‘Trust, be trusted or else you will be on your own’ Trust is vital to professional &personal relationships #pdsl #leadership @Leaders_SoE @niamhickey @patriciamannixm

My class have been working on a project this week where they can pick the topic. Being able to focus on their interests/strengths has really improved their engagement with the content and the standard of their work. #pdsl

"How many strengths are missed?" Chris Wejr
This is a very good point. Schools need to provide a wide range of subjects (and extra-curricular activities if possible) so that students can work to their strengths. #pdsl @patriciamannixm @niamhickey @Leaders_SoE

I'm glad I stuck with the Judith Glaser interview this week. I could relate to the part about us being "addicted to being right"! Discovering what you don't know can be difficult for us, but also very rewarding. #pdsl

This is a very relevant quote in relation to the material this week #pdsl

[Anthony Nyhan @an_nyhan]

I think that this is an important message to consider when dealing with conflict and difficult conversations #pdsl

[Anthony Nyhan @an_nyhan]

Interesting content this week in relation to feedback. To receive worthwhile feedback it is important that we are prepared to listen to views and perspectives that are different to our own. #pdsl

[Anthony Nyhan @an_nyhan]

'The Dark Side of School Culture' was an eye-opening read. I wonder do the people who engage in such behaviour consider the impact that it has on the students in their schools? @patriciamannixm @Leaders_SoE @niamhickey

[Anthony Nyhan @an_nyhan]

“Winning is being better today than you were yesterday” We should remember this when setting goals for ourselves and for our students #pdsl @patriciamannixm @Leaders_SoE @niamhickey

Happy New Year all!!

Reflective back on 2021 and came across this gem of a video, so thought I'd share again...

Thanks @frankdickcoach for providing such a powerful message for all coaches on the meaning of winning 👏

Enjoy...

From this weeks unit, the descriptions of how a coach can show they are listening reminds me of how Tommy Tiernan conducts an interview!! #comfortablewithsilence #pdsl #leadership @niamhickey @patriciamannixm @Leaders_SoE
