@SarahBastien1 I always said the second one, but now I’m kind of doubting myself!

I’m going through one right now. I’ve been struggling with what I thought was just burnout, but it turns out there is a medical component. I may need to take time off work, which is hard, but I’m grateful for my doctors who helped me piece this together. #teachbetter

@jonbecker_ Ketchup is an abomination and the most disgusting food ever. Any other tomato based product is fine.

Admin, there’s power in recognition. Recognition motivates, provides a sense of accomplishment & makes employees feel valued for their work. It expresses appreciation and it shows others what success looks like. Yes, Recognition is powerful!

Again, and it’s always good to remind students and remind ourselves. We have no clue what other students or adults might be going through. Always-always-always be kind. It’s quite simple but somehow so hard for us to remember. #JoyfulLeaders

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

Greatness isn’t achieved by worrying what everyone thinks of you. Don’t look outside. The praise, criticism, expectations; it’s all just noise. Look inside to your heart and soul and do your thing. Do it with love and create greatness from the inside out.

Your energy is currency.
Be mindful of who and what
you’re spending it on.
