75. The Importance of Celebrating Milestones and Reflecting on our 1 Year Anniversary

It’s the 1 year anniversary of the Schools of Excellence podcast! What a perfect time to reflect on how far this show has come, because this is a huge milestone at the Schools of Excellence. We just wrapped and returned from the Summit of Excellence which was held at the beginning of March. As I unpack and process everything that happened over the 2-day in-person event, I find myself reflecting and am so grateful for so many of the things that happened at the event. This inspired me further to make this episode where I can officially celebrate the achievement of the 1st anniversary of the podcast.   In today's episode, I talk about: The initial drive as to why I started the Schools of Excellence podcast a year ago. Insights into how I create the show's content and choose the topics I talk about. The growth we've seen in the show over the last year. How and why we need to celebrate milestones. Some of our goals as we enter the second year of the Schools of Excellence podcast. ... and so much more!   Resources and links mentioned in this episode:   The Director’s Inner Circle & Owner’s HQ are the #1 community & training programs specifically designed for early childhood school leaders and owners who are committed to building schools of excellence You get 24/7 access to exclusive templates & training to help you motivate your staff and build a collaborative culture that positively impacts the lives of children.
