Great leaders decide PRIOR to any challenge (personal or professional) to engage body, mind, and spirit in EVERY moment of that project. Total immersion.

SCHOOL LEADERS
Many support staff are demoralized. I know b/c I conduct focus groups w/them. Before yr. ends, meet w/staff, ask ?s, take notes, dialogue. Address issues BEST you can when school starts 25-26 SY. Shows commitment to staff performance/morale. They really matter!

‘Meditate daily on the teachings of Christ’ — Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Pressure doesn’t create champions, it reveals them.

When the moment gets big:

- Slow down.
- Trust your work.
- Execute with focus.

Calm minds = Big moments.

What should we do about ‘instability’ in our world? Get obsessed w/pursuing YOUR purpose/vision for living & serve others. Know what is happening in the world. But run YOUR race. You’re on the earth for a reason. Find it, write down, get it in your heart, mind, spirit. LIVE IT!

[Tom Templeton @TomTempleton7]

Schools should be places of total IMMERSION in optimism, mental toughness, grit, intellectual rigor and character — where hallways promote messages that remind students every day of their potential, to dream big, serve others, and persevere!

[Tom Templeton @TomTempleton7]

Too many leaders have mastered the art of deflection — shifting blame to others. Yes, ‘others’ often play a role in the issues facing organizations. But have you ever noticed the respect you develop in the leader who flat out OWNS a problem and strives to FIX it?!

[Tom Templeton @TomTempleton7]

Our results - in finances, health, relations, accomplishments - are reflection of who we are on inside. Chaotic life reflects unsettled spirit or scattered mind. Focus on process. Develop self. ‘If ask me to chop down tree in 6 hrs., I’ll take first 4 hrs to sharpen saw.’ Lincoln

‘Ask NOT what your country can do for you. Ask what YOU can do for your country.’ Still rings true, especially for those fortunate enough to be in a place/position in life to truly carry out these words.

[Tom Templeton @TomTempleton7]

Really solid advice. Worth applying. GIVE VALUE FIRST. That sets so much more in motion.

[Tom Templeton @TomTempleton7]

LEADERS

Support those who are struggling or have difficulty speaking for themselves. Many carry heavy burdens that we know NOTHING about. Read that again. You can be compassionate AND maintain high standards. EMBRACE the good!

[Tom Templeton @TomTempleton7]

@SandyLGallagher Absolutely. Truly is a daily investment. Really like your video on goal setting.

Change thoughts, change life! “Stand guard at door of mind.” – Jim Rohn. Monitor what you watch. Meditate on the honorable & excellent to overcome confusion, depression.  Powerful thoughts displace destructive thinking. Man’s life what his thoughts make of it” – Marcus Aurelius

You know, identity theft is real. But you also need to guard your true identity as a child of the most high God. For my friends in the faith, do not let your true identity be compromised. Embrace the fruits of the spirit. GAL 5: 22-23.
