@PrincipalsCtr Link to metaphor for those who haven't heard of it yet: https://t.co/CFQJsvSJXn #GSUEdLead

[Imani Lewis @learndevgrow]

@PrincipalsCtr Thank you! It was great. So many good ideas and inspirational people doing great things! #GSUEdLead

[Imani Lewis @learndevgrow]

@PrincipalsCtr A8,Yes! One of the main insights (not new but bears repeating) is that I AM ALLOWED TO SAY NO! #GSUEdLead #sometimesweforget

[Imani Lewis @learndevgrow]

@PrincipalsCtr A7 cont, it's such a corny saying but I love it and consider it a mantra: teamwork makes the dream work! #GSUEdLead #realtalk

[Imani Lewis @learndevgrow]

@PrincipalsCtr Q7: reminds me of a proverb: "a trouble shared is a trouble halved." engaging others accelerates success #GSUEdLead

[Imani Lewis @learndevgrow]

@PrincipalsCtr A6 cont, if your workplace allows it, support alternative work arrangements-- telecommuting, skype meetings, etc #GSUEdLead

[Imani Lewis @learndevgrow]

@PrincipalsCtr A6 cont: more than say yes to personal/sick days-- respect them! Don't innundate them w/ emails & calls #GSUEdLead #notcool

[Imani Lewis @learndevgrow]

@PrincipalsCtr A6: Emphasize work life balance. Say yes to sick days & personal days. Exercise empathy. Check in with them. #GSUEdLead

[Imani Lewis @learndevgrow]

@PrincipalsCtr A5 cont, in extreme cases I take a personal day. I nap, exercise, turn on my out of office: practice self-care #GSUEdLead

[Imani Lewis @learndevgrow]

@PrincipalsCtr A5: I like to make a list of priorities and wants. It really helps me reframe what is important. #GSUEdLead

[Imani Lewis @learndevgrow]

@PrincipalsCtr A4: Also struggled w/ planning. Started calendaring everything so that I wouldn't miss things that matter #GSUEdLead

[Imani Lewis @learndevgrow]

@PrincipalsCtr A4: Early AM workouts work well for me. If I am not taking care of my body, how can I care for others/my job? #GSUEdLead

[Imani Lewis @learndevgrow]

@PrincipalsCtr I struggled w/ physical health. Now I exercise at 5AM so I can tackle the rest of the day w/o compromise #GSUEdLead

[Imani Lewis @learndevgrow]

@PrincipalsCtr A3: reminds me of crystal + rubber ball juggling metaphor. some balls bounce back, others irrevocably damaged #GSUEdLead

[Imani Lewis @learndevgrow]

@PrincipalsCtr A3: It overwhelms you & spreads you too thin. Those who "do it all" are likely not giving any 1 thing enough attn #GSUEdLead

[Imani Lewis @learndevgrow]

@PrincipalsCtr A2 cont: I have a tendency to put relationships on the back burner just to cram in more work-- not good #GSUEdLead

[Imani Lewis @learndevgrow]

@PrincipalsCtr A2: I'd invest more time in friendships and my familial relationships. In my free time call, visit, be present #GSUEdLead
