Slow down a bit. No more six second decisions :)

Today in class we discussed what @patricklencioni would call the 3 virtues of great teammates!
When you find a player living in the intersection of all 3, embrace ‘em. Those are the guys great teams are built upon.
Silent learning: when I sit quietly and reflect on something I learned some time ago and let it "sink in deeply."
🎙️ AND THAT'S A WRAP.
After 142 episodes, we're reflecting on the people, memories, and lessons that shaped the School Culture By Design Podcast journey. Thank you for listening and for believing in people first.
Listen to the final episode: shorturl.at/sXIDA
Interesting thought . . .
When someone disagrees with me, do I respond by becoming curious about why they are disagreeing or more certain of my stance? #leadership
Whoops, our last episode didn't go live! Listen in to episode #141 where Shyana and I share big news, an invitation to join the WHAT I SEE Project, and why recognition is vital to our leaders & teams. Listen: shorturl.at/WPicp & join the project: tinymomentco.com
LAST FIVE: Want to make your meetings more memorable? End with one question: "What's one win we don't want to overlook?"
People remember how they leave a meeting. Help them leave noticing progress.

I like this . . . "Success is peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable." — John Wooden

If you are planning for a year, sow rIce.
If you are planning for a decade, plant trees.
If you are planning for a lifetime, educate people!
Had a great conversation with Dr. Eric Nichols on the podcast this summer! He is doing so much to support rural schools & has learned the power of building a culture of belonging for everyone! Check it out: learningforliving.com/school…

When you become a leader, you must transition from being responsible for the JOB, to being responsible for the PEOPLE who are responsible for the job. - Simon Sinek
#Leadership
Your team is walking into every meeting carrying something.
Stress. A win. A hard morning. An empty tank.
And most leaders never ask.
First Five: "What gave you energy this week — and what cost you some?"
One question. One honest round. And wait for the stories to come out.
Nobody's sitting through a lecture at our Culture Summit this fall! We share techniques. You reflect. You steal shamelessly from some of the best schools in the room.
Chicago... have you grabbed your teams spot yet? learningforliving.com/events
Most meetings start with the agenda.
Try starting with a FIRST FIVE instead:
"Name one thing this week that gave you energy — and one thing that cost you some."
One round. Two answers. And suddenly your team understands each other's capacity in a way no org chart ever could.
Our School Culture Summit is coming to Naperville, IL this fall & Winters, CA this winter.
Don't guess at team health — send 2-3 key educators who'll come back with a real plan.

What a blast to chat with David & Brandon as they share simple ways they support the administrators across their district. These two are very thoughtful about their work & it was a great conversation! Listen in: shorturl.at/WobLL
You'd be surprised what your team is carrying that you know nothing about. Try this at your next meeting:
"What's one moment from your week | big or small — that stuck with you?"
Whoever's ready goes first. Others follow.
5 minutes. Real people. Better meetings.
The Culture Summit is coming to Naperville, IL this fall & Winters, CA this winter. Empower a small team from your campus to build higher trust & collaboration across campus. Learn more here: learningforliving.com/events
