When we take the time to SEE, HEAR & VALUE them as the unique amazing humans they are we often walk away with insights and wisdom we may have missed in the rushing to "accomplish" the things of life.

This ever evolving...rapidly evolving world we are living in is creating shifts in our schools that some have seen coming for decades, generations even...and some that none of us could have foreseen. How do we take our power back and create aligned cultures, healthy environments for teachers to work in and students to learn in?

The challenge I hear from so many leaders is how to maintain an environment where servant leadership is the norm and doesn't need a crisis to see it in action... Simon Sinek says it best in his book, Leaders Eat Last: "Too many workplaces are driven by cynicism, paranoia, and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build a "Circle of Safety" that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside." 2023-01-2028 minConscious Educator PlaygroundConscious Educator PlaygroundEp. 31: Community Attraction & CultivationThis wild ride of a week!… So you know those times when you just have one of those weeks that every possible emotion comes flooding in all at once and your body can’t seem to choose which one to feel so it’s a wild mixed bag of all of them…which makes you feel crazy and debilitated and frozen?

Yet most often it is met with resistance... So how do we define, measure and hold others accountable for what matters most? Humans thrive when they are connected to a greater purpose, engaged in meaningful work, and in an environment that leads with trust and safety, unifying a sense of progress on what matters most.
