LEADERS!!! Be AUTHENTIC in how you LEAD. The more time you spend trying to be EVERYONE’S FAVORITE the less time you have to be ANYONE’S FAVORITE. Being PRESENT helps that exponentially. #1minwalk2work #LeadFromWhereYouAre #CraftingTheCulture #HackingLeadership

You can’t control what students will remember in 25 years. You can control how many opportunities you create to be remembered. Recognize your colleagues. Acknowledge their impact. Extend their greatness. Take care of the adults who take care of kids. #LeadFromWhoYouAre

The MESS is REAL! Long nights. Early mornings. The work nobody asked you to do. The work nobody said that you would have to do. The MESS is where the GREAT stuff is too. I can’t take the MESS off your plate…but can we find a way to look at it DIFFERENTLY? #LeadFromWhoYouAre

NEW WALK!! Summer leadership isn’t about disappearing from your staff. It’s about creating rhythms that keep people informed without overwhelming them. You can be a reason that they want to come back…or a reason that they don’t. #SchoolLeadership #LeadFromWhoYouAre

#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.

#1minwalk2work THROWBACK!! We are a few weeks from staff coming back to school. Lean into the last few weeks. The most important thing to get ready in your classrooms is YOU. Cat posters don’t make kids hang in there…YOU DO. #LeadFromWhereYouAre #HackingLeadership

The most important thing to get ready in your room…IS YOU! Kids are going to walk in and see their name and know if they are supposed to be in that room. Then they’ll look at you…and know if THEY BELONG. Just got to take care of each other. #LeadFromWhereYouAre #1minwalk2work

LEADERS! A lot of schools across the country are getting ready for a break. If you want to appreciate your staff during a break…MODEL what it means to take a break. If you’re going to send a text or email during the break that ends in FYI…just don’t. #1minwalk2work #throwback

LEADERS!!! The break is here!!! #1minwalk2work THROWBACK as a reminder that NEW IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER. Except cookies. I’ll still eat old cookies…but new cookies are probably always better. Did I mention I’ll still eat the old cookies? Because…cookies. #facts

Pizza parties don’t build culture if it’s the only thing we do to build culture. Waiting to support people until they are at their breaking point isn’t helping us build momentum. Every conversation matters. #LeadFromWhereYouAre #1minwalk2work #giveyourselfachance
