Favorite quote from this episode "...our walk talks louder than our talk talks!" Powerful

[Ed Leader @EdLeaderPod]

In the latest episode of the Special Leadership Development Series, "Lessons from the Lightkeeper," a leader's character is front and center because as Rev. Billy Graham says, "...when character is lost, all is lost."

We all have a story in which someone did or said something that was super impactful to us. What if they didn't take that first step? Initiative #ShineTheLight @Dr_Rob_Jackson @EdLeaderPod

[Ed Leader @EdLeaderPod]

Initiative Activates the Light!

The third lesson in the "Lessons from the Lightkeeper" special series is here! Every journey begins with the first step. Without initiative, there is no progress. With initiative, the doors of opportunity are wide open.

Benjamin Franklin says, "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." How many times have you missed an opportunity to do something impactful? Me, many. Preparing for something that "might" happen is not wasted. It'll happen. #ShineTheLight @EdLeaderPod

"Opportunity does not waste time with those who are unprepared." - Idowu Koyenikan

Great leaders spend significant time in preparation so that when the opportunity to make a true and lasting difference presents itself, they are ready! #ShineTheLight

Starve your distractions, Feed your focus. I was in classrooms a lot this week and put aside other distractions. I can't believe I put other tasks before this! Magic happens at HIES!! @EdLeaderPod @Dr_Rob_Jackson

[Ed Leader @EdLeaderPod]

Every challenge, including the present one, must be approached with a calm, unwavering focus and a determination to light the way for others. In this new episode of the special series, "Lessons from the Lightkeeper," the focus is on intentional focus. https://t.co/PsVfbmaHCR

Conformity will sometimes cause one to forsake their convictions. Courage will prevent this. Stand strong. @Dr_Rob_Jackson #ShinetheLight

[Ed Leader @EdLeaderPod]

Maya Angelou said, “Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.” Never has courageous leadership been more needed.
The latest Lesson from the Lightkeeper is extremely timely. https://t.co/PsVfbmaHCR

Allen Iverson may not agree, but Richelle Goodrich says, "do it again, play it again, sing it again, read it again, write it again, run it again, try it again.....because again is practice. And practice is improvement. And improvement leads to perfection."

[Ed Leader @EdLeaderPod]

In this 7th episode of "Lessons from the Lightkeeper," the focus is on the importance of practice. Aristotle said, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." Practice is the "little bit more" that separates great leaders.

Reflect on this - "It's what you learn after you know it all that counts." - John Wooden

Boom. Love this!

Sir Winston Churchill said, "The most important thing about education is appetite."

In this latest lesson, Dr. Jackson discusses the power of learning from everyone around you while avoiding the pitfalls of pride. #ShineTheLight

Gut check. Responsible leaders don't blame others. That's easy. Accepting responsibility and moving to fix the issue increases trust, credibility, and oh...helps fix the issue.

[Ed Leader @EdLeaderPod]

“You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself.” Jim Rohn

The focus of the latest episode of "Lessons from the Lightkeeper" is the importance of taking responsibility.

Are you having trouble seeing your "have-to's" as "want-to's" on this first Monday of Daylight Savings? Take a moment to remember your "why!" Passion will turn this pandemic into a "can"demic.

Belief Lights the Light!

Standing around and talking is sometimes working. Build relationships around helping students succeed.

[Ed Leader @EdLeaderPod]

"If we want to design schools that promote student ownership of learning, one underlying principle must come to the fore: Relationships are essential for learning." - Charles Leadbeater

Relationships are key and crucial and are this week's focus.
