Most people are so focused on those who aren’t in their corner that they ignore the people who are in their corner. The result is that they’re never happy and eventually burn out those who are supporting them.
Focus on what matters.
Focus on who matters.
Gratitude is the key.
“Successful people have the ability to let go of the negativity that holds so many otherwise sensible people back.” - Dr. Travis Bradbury #JoyfulLeaders

Leadership is not operating out of fear, being swayed by headlines and loud voices.
Leadership is staying calm, being informed, maintaining your perspective, living your standard and your values.
Leaders create clarity, not chaos.
The work isn’t always fun.
It isn’t always convenient.
You won’t always feel like it.
You may doubt it at times.
But the work is always worth it.
It always makes you better.
It always moves you forward.
Progress rewards those who show up.

If it’s worth it, you will fight for it.
If it’s worth it, you won’t give up when it gets hard.
If it’s worth it, it’s worth your time, commitment, energy, sacrifice, & focus.
If it’s worth it then it’s worth fighting the good fight.
You just have to decide what’s worth it.
I don’t claim to know all there is to know on this matter but I have Huge respect for this leader. Freedom is worth defending. Love his quotes.. “ I don’t need a ride out, I need weapons” “ I will fight with my soldiers , and if I die , I die” Rare leadership. #PrayingForUkraine

"When I feel stuck, I get out of my office, find a classroom, have a seat, watch a teacher in action, and realize I'm in the best place I can be." —P @posickj
A lot of teachers are stressed because their students are not where they expect them to be by this point.
They need to give themselves some grace. They can’t teach twice as hard and the kids can’t learn twice as fast.
We just take them where we get them… and move them forward.
Good Morning Bismarck Public Schools!
Welcome to the first Midweek Motivation, a new positive idea and outlook to finish out the week strong. We will be posting every Wednesday (Midweek) a new idea or concept to help promote creativity and ideas inside of the classroom!
Just need to brag as this was TEACHER DRIVEN. Instead of the ‘dreaded supervision’, they wanted a more positive flair! MORNING GREETERS, LUNCHROOM CONNECTION CREW, & AFTERNOON SENDOFFS! Mindset matters! #wakeupbeawesomerepeat
