@aewallace8Chats Support from my peers comes in the form of openness, honesty, and collaboration. I want them to know that I am approachable and willing to listen to ideas, thoughts, concerns to help us find a solution to the difficult times we face in schools right now.
@aewallace8Chats I want to have more conversations with the people I work with. I want to get to know them better. Starting conversations is something I have always struggled with.

@hjs78030512 @aewallace8Chats I completely agree with you Heather. I want to know what is bothering my students, however you never know what they will say has happened or is bothering them.
@jesskangaroo@aewallace8Chats I will say our administrators are completely open to suggestions and ideas, which has made it easier these past couple of years.
@aewallace8Chats I have a very small "square", so I hold those relationships very close and expect the same in return. So, I can say that I do not steamroll those important people.
@aewallace8Chats Definitely Fear of Conflict! Something I will need to work on as an administrator is tougher skin and not necessarily worrying about if I hurt someone's feelings

@aewallace8Chats I am a very compassionate person. Compassion is something that all educators and leaders need. Everyone needs someone to listen and value their thoughts.
@aewallace8Chats I am definitely a "Tell me more" person. I wanted to understand everything I can about what you are trying to explain or say before I step in to help.
@aewallace8Chats@BreneBrown Hi everyone,
I am Kristina Powell. My current principal, Curt Twilley is helping me through my leadership journey. He has been someone I have looked up to since I began my teaching career
@aewallace8Chats Frustration is emotion that is hard and shows up in my school. Students are frustrated because the curriculum is to difficult. Teachers are frustrated because the students are having a difficult time and things are ever changing in our COVID world.
