114. Silver Linings
As with all life circumstances there always seems to be a silver lining. Stop for a moment and go find yours from this past year. What can you build upon and draw out of this circumstance that can become the catalyst for your future? It probably isn’t going to drop in your lap, but if you are...

113. Let the cleanup process begin!
Everyone in the world has had their minds worked over this past year in education. Regardless of why or where you stand on all of the issues it is time that we start the cleanup process of our minds. This is going to take some time and careful attention but is totally worth it. Let it begin! I…

112. Bravery is a Choice
Did you know you can just decide that you are going to be brave? The more we slow down the decision to be brave or not we start to realize that it really is just a state of mind. Telling ourselves that we are not brave is the intentional choice to not be. Telling ourselves that we are brave is…

111. Trust Issues in Education
There is a polarizing issue of trust being exposed in education. We must increase our understanding of why this is happening and what we can do about it. Most of our trust issues are not clear cut character issues. Our ability to show up, establish clarity, and then follow through with our...

110. Who are you doing this work for?
No matter who you are there are going to be days, weeks, and possibly months that the work you are engaged in is a struggle. When you find yourself in those moments just stop and connect with who it is you are doing this work for. When you can define who, the why, how, and what come much more...

109. Resilience and our purpose
We love the idea of resilience in today’s world and especially in education. If you or your students seem to be struggling with being resilient then our first place to start is your purpose. When we lose our sense of purpose we no longer have the desire to be resilient. Resilience naturally…

108 - Acting as Agents to Ourselves
Our ability to truly own our decisions and understand that our reality is created by us starts with acting as agents to ourselves. We learn to subject ourselves to our own true value and not to everything around us. This brings with it a unique power we rarely enjoy if life is happening to us! I...

We all have unique strengths and passions in our lives. Jim Collins teaches about finding our inner hedgehog when it comes to the pursuits we follow in our businesses.

106 - The Business of People

105 - Peak and The End Rule
Our brains are funny sometimes. Often what we think a circumstance entailed is not really the whole of the story. Daniel Kahneman teaches that the peak point and the end point are really the most important parts of our story when it comes to our memory of it. When working with others, how can we...
-
104 - The Slight Edge
When it really comes down to it our lives are the product of all the little decisions we make on a daily basis. The slight edge becomes the slow and steady path to the life you envisioned all along. Make sure you have defined the right actions and practice patience along the way and you are...

103 - Becoming Something of Value Instead of a Success

102. Softer Entry Points in Change Conversations
When we are seeking change in our schools or organizations there are going to be many conversations along the way.

101. Thought Gaps
We often find ourselves with a huge chasm between what our current thoughts and reality are and where we would like them to be. This gap can seem impossible to cross without bridge or ladder thoughts to get us to the new reality. Start small, create the next thought, and the next, and the next....
-
100. Thoughts, Opinions, and Convictions

99. When We Don't Know What We Don't Know
I think we often get caught in our tunnel vision or small sphere of influence so easily that we become blind to the rest of the world. There is such power in figuring out what we don’t know. If we decide to never learn what we don’t know we’ll never know if there is more out there for us! When…

98. The Ability to Unlearn
We are so often focused on our ability to learn and help those around us that we never stop to see if there are things we need to unlearn. The ability to unlearn things that are no longer serving us is paramount to growth. Never be afraid to unlearn in your life! I love that we are so focused on...
-
97. The Power of Questioning
There is a unique power in our ability to stop and question. This gives our brain the opportunity to slow down enough to see the possibility of a different answer. We need to choose more often to question everything we do in order to keep from going on autopilot! This past year has created an...

96. Circling back to self deception

95. Self imposed barriers

-
91. Tyranny of Or vs. Genius of And
Our minds are easily caught in either/or thinking. Instead of thinking of your circumstances as a dead end, embrace the philosophy behind the “Genius of And.” We really can embrace multiple ways of thinking and function at a high level. Get started on this way of thinking and watch doors begin to...
-

89. Teaching from the Inside Out; Why to How to What
We have a tendency to focus a lot in education about how and what we teach our students.

86. Allowing the stress cycle to finish
Stress is really just an emotional vibration in our body and if we will allow it to fully process our body will release it and it will pass. When we try to resist the emotion we get stuck and all of the physical, mental, and emotional problems that come with stress are manifest. It is time we…
