Look for opportunities to help others today. “You aren’t a true success unless you are helping others be successful. Success is meant to be shared.”

The teachers I admire most are not the ones with the best lessons... but the ones who are always in pursuit of a BETTER lesson.

So many kids show up and rush into school each day just to see someone who makes them feel seen. Who makes them feel loved. Do YOU do that for a child? #KidsDeserveIt

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

It’s possible to show up for work & be adequate. Those employees still collect a paycheck. But I have a profound appreciation for those who don’t settle for “adequate.” They make the decision to be awesome. They probably wouldn’t call it that, but I would... & I salute them.

You can probably do it alone... but you can probably do it better with someone else. I believe that a culture of collaboration is a defining characteristic of the most successful schools.

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

Don’t let perfection drain your passion. You’ll never be perfect. You don’t have to be perfect. It’s so much more powerful to be passionate about what you do than trying to be perfect at what you do. Passion >perfection.

This is my “WHY” and my JOY in what we do each day. Each set of hands represents a significant life to inspire and to nurture. Remember that some of those hands need YOU because there is no one else. #MinshewGRIT

A3: When we trust those around us. They feel free to take risks... and that is what is required for organizations to rise above the status quo. Trust is absolutely foundational to the relationships upon which strong cultures are built. #Leadupchat
