Here's a graphic I found years ago from Edutopia that I love to re-read to remind me that while the adult staff is entering the "blahs" of spring, so are our students. Pick any of these recommendations from Edutopia & turn it around for a child in your school district this week.

The pillar of Caring can look like... - Being kind - Showing compassion - Expressing gratitude - Forgiving others - Being considerate How have you seen Caring in action this week? #CHARACTERCOUNTS! #SixPillars #Caring

I found this graphic from Amy Gibson which is a great tool 4 leaders seeking ongoing improvement within their organizations & themselves. I am passionate about creating a workplace that generates quality results while reinforcing the achievements of the people I lead & serve.

Show integrity. Do what is right.

Start your day with love, end with service. In between, be kind, respectful, generous, build community, empower others, & spread joy. @AndyStanley #OurBetterAngels

NEW EPISODE! 122 of #TheInterviewChair. In this episode, I share how educators are facing fatigue as they enter the final stretch of the school year. I remind educators that if we want students to stay focused and continue to work hard, then we, as educators, need to do the same. I share specific steps that we can take to regain momentum and continue to move forward so we no longer feel like we are just hanging on.

Watch what happens. U have now made someone's day by caring about them. Enjoy your day!

Do yourself a favor. An activity I learned from Joe Sanfillippo & Jimmy Casas involves scrolling your text message feed & find someone u haven't heard from in a while. Send them the text that u are thinking of them in that moment.

This Sunday, I have found an older post from my friends at Humanex as part of their Daily Impact Journey. Outside of the person quoted, the message is timeless and important to us all.

Congratulations to this week’s Warriors of the Week!

Today's material comes from the Center for Creative Leadership. This graphic, copied years ago, addresses the stress that comes with leadership and the importance of managing it while taking care of yourself at the same time. Have a great Sunday!

I found this graphic from 4 o clock Faculty from a social media post from years ago. There is so much we can learn from organizations like Pixar, and I introduced the book, Creativity, Inc. which describes the process Pixar uses to create their highly successful movies. Enjoy!

Just got back from the National Conference of Education led by the AASA and found this image from Jimmy Casas that I identified with the minute I read it over. The 5 "W's" of Leadership are applicable today as they were when I first read them. Have a great Sunday!
