When we think about leadership, most of us picture someone who inspires us to do better, to be better — someone we want to follow. But the truth is… leadership goes both ways.

Every one of us carries influence. Everyone lights up a room. The question is:

Does it light up when you walk in… or when you walk out?

Whether it’s in a school, a church, or a business… which way are you leading others? Toward positivity and building people up? Or by leading the pack in cutting others down?

I know I have a lot of work to do on myself. I’ve made plenty of mistakes. But I’m thankful that leadership isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being willing to keep growing.

It doesn’t happen overnight. It happens when we choose to get back up, keep moving forward, and keep striving to be better.

Every one of us is a leader. The only question is… in which direction are we leading?

The best advice I got when becoming a principal was this:

“The moment I quit trying to be the perfect principal and focused on showing Christ’s love to others is when it all clicked for me.”

Grace over perfection.

Leadership is hard. Nobody said it would be easy.
🔺When people talk about you, keep leading.
🔹When people compliment you, keep leading.
🔺When your hard work goes unnoticed, keep leading.

Why? Because we are in the kid business. Kids are the reason schools exist. It isn’t about you or me. It’s about kids. When things are good, bad or ugly, keep leading.

When we keep showing up to lead, that’s when success will follow. That’s when kids’ pathways will be redirected. And that is when we know we are changing the world.

KEEP. LEADING. #multiplyexcellence

It’s about that time, y’all.

CLASS LISTS.

Administrators across the country are meticulously finalizing class lists, and teachers are anxiously waiting to see which kids will become their new babies for 180 school days.

It’s also that time of year where the chatter starts…

…about THAT kid.

The one who has a reputation for being “low”.
The one who “can’t behave.”
The one who is “lazy”.
The one who _______.

Don’t be the teacher who judges a child based on another person's opinion.

🔹Every kid deserves a reset.
🔺Every kid deserves more chances.
🔹Every kid deserves a champion.

Many kids are on the road to failure because of reasons beyond their control. Be the person who redirects their path this year.

Be their merchant of hope! People don’t need us to be merchants of hope during the easy times. It is in the darkest moments that they need their merchant of hope to selflessly carry them through the storm.

We chose the profession where we are helping raise other people’s kids. As you receive your class lists over the next few days, receive them with love, clean slates, and lots of grace.

The reality? We are all doing this really hard thing called “life” in the best and only way we know how.

Never judge a child based on another person’s opinion.

And while we’re at it, let’s replace "child" with "person" (friend, colleague, parent, acquaintance, stranger).

Patient. Loving. Understanding. Forgiving. Grace giving.

These are the attributes of a person who can reach another person's heart and change their pathway. I have so much work to do on myself so that I can better help others. I'm especially thankful for grace.

Recently, I have been asked by several parents, “What do I need to do to prep my kid for kindergarten?” Typically, they anticipate my response to be centered around what they need to know academically, but I think there are skills more important than that. It isn’t about knowing all of their letters and sounds to be kindergarten ready. If they do, GREAT. They are ahead of the game. But the more important thing is that they learn social and independent skills that will help them be successful in the classroom.

🔺Help them learn to say their full name when someone asks them (not their nickname).
🔹Help them learn to ask for help.
🔺Help them learn how to speak to other people who are not family members.
🔹 Eat dinner together. At a table. With the tv off. ➡️ They will learn about table manners, how to stay in their seat an entire meal, develop vocabulary through conversation, and benefit from quality time.
🔺Help them learn how to compete a task and work all the way through until they complete it.
🔹Help them learn how to wait patiently. 🤪 Maybe they are waiting in line while friends go to the bathroom, or maybe someone is needing to talk to their teacher. Waiting is a hard thing for littles!
🔺 Read books every night. ➡️ Their world will be enlarged, they will develop new vocabulary, and they will benefit from quality time.
🔹 Help them learn to share.
🔺 Help them sharpen taking care of their basic needs by themselves - using the bathroom, washing their hands, blowing their nose.
🔹Tell them no.
🔺Teach them nursery rhymes. There is so much research behind this and how it supports brain development.
🔹Help them understand it is ok to make mistakes.
🔺Help them practice putting things in and taking things out of their backpack. Their teacher will thank you! 🤪
🔹Help them learn to follow two step directions. For example, “Take off your shoes and hang up your jacket.”
🔺Help them learn to sit and wait without having to be entertained. Can they sit and wait without having to be handed a device?

There is so much more than academics that goes into helping a kid be “kindergarten ready”. Social and independent skills are life skills! If you aren’t practicing some of these things regularly, give yourself some grace. And if your child is older than KG age and cannot do some of these things yet, it isn’t too late! I am still working on these in my home too! We are about 5 weeks away from the start of school. The more they are able to do independently, the more successful they will be!

Giving kids the opportunity to develop their emotions, compassion, and social skills is one of the greatest gifts we can give kids to prepare them for this thing called “life”.

Let’s go!
