You can’t lead someone if you don’t know them. And you can’t motivate someone if you don’t know what motivates them. Relationships drive real motivation!

"If we're always giving kids steps to solving a problem and not letting them grapple & figure out how to solve it themselves, then they aren't going to be prepared to do that effectively [in the future].”
