Being professional is upholding high standards in low moments.

It's caring to do a good job even in jobs we don't love; treat others with respect even if we're disrespected; and do right even if we're wronged.

We earn trust by refusing to compromise on competence or character.

Kaleb has accepted the opportunity to play college baseball while attending Hamline University next year! We are so proud of him and excited for this next chapter. We are also grateful for the opportunity to continue watching him play the game he loves. ❤️

Time in meetings has more than tripled since Feb 2020. Nearly a third of meetings are unnecessary—wasting $25M a year for every 1k people.

There are 4 reasons to meet: to decide, learn, bond, and do. If it doesn't serve one of those purposes, cancel it.

The people who are nice to you aren’t always being kind to you.

Saying what you want to hear is nice. People sugarcoat feedback to make you feel good today.

Sharing what you need to hear is kind. People speak honestly to help you do better tomorrow.

Candor is an act of care.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

If you don't have all the facts yet, you shouldn't have a strong opinion yet.

Motivated reasoning is believing what you want to be true. Critical thinking depends on wanting to believe whatever ends up being true.

A key to learning is refusing to let your hopes bias your views.

We need to do better. Our students and educators deserve better.

As a mom of a student whose school was impacted by the “swatting” hoax yesterday, I am beyond thankful for the staff and law enforcement that ensured the safety of the students and staff in every building impacted.

[Heather Mueller @hmuellermn]

Schools are and should always be places of safety and security for everyone. These types of false calls claiming an active shooter was at multiple MN schools are abhorrent and reckless. They are not a joke, nor are they simply fodder for a TikTok video.

[Tracy Frederick Corcoran @tracycorcoran32]

Even as a trained school administrator in crisis management of this kind, you will never be prepared for a text from your child in which (hoax or not) an active shooter has been reported at their school.

Down in the count, but not out.

Garrett Mitchell delivers a walk-off single for the @Brewers!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Many arguments get heated not because our opinions clash, but because we fail to show that we care.

In conflict, the most important step isn't to defend your position. It's to reinforce your relationship.

It's easier to accept that you're not like-minded if you're like-hearted.

"Poor communication is inherited from parents or family members. They never talked about feelings, they yelled. They held onto secrets because they didn't want to make things awkward. Break that toxic chain." ~G. L. Lambert⠀
