#1minwalk2work THROWBACK!
It’s July 1st and people across the country are walking into NEW LEADERSHIP positions. Few things to remember…
1. You don’t know everything.
2. The farther you get from the classroom the harder it is to make suggestions.
3. You’re not a search firm.
Today is a great day to have a great day!
👉 Look for the good. (What we seek, we find more of.)
👉 Replace HAVE TO with GET TO. (Live life as a gift, not an obligation.)
👉 Respond instead of React. (You can’t control all your circumstances but you can choose how you respond).
No matter what anyone says, just SHOW UP and DO THE WORK today. And do it again tomorrow. And the day after that, etc.

In this school community, each staff member identified a "one word 2023." Now, their leader adds sticky notes celebrating how they're demonstrating it!

Being coachable means you're willing to consider feedback even if you don't like what you hear. It means resisting the urge to make excuses or get defensive when challenged. Getting better is more important than your ego. You'd rather get it right than be right.
Here’s one thing I always know for certain … what the enemy meant for evil God will use for good.
I will trust in God. Serve God. And even in the darkest nights when I still cry, I will find rest in the light of his love. Then tomorrow, I’ll get up and do it all again.
Good morning! Take a second and let someone know you appreciate them. Let them know you see the great things they do. Let them know you value the joy they bring. To many kind words get left unsaid so show others some love today and let them know you appreciate them!👊
"You can talk to teachers in the lounge, you can sit in on meetings, and you can do PD, but until you're in classrooms, you can’t know exactly what’s going on."
