A few leadership lessons I’ve learned along the way: 1. Be open to feedback; 2. Listen to others; 3. Really listen to others; 4. Surround yourself w/smart, ethical people; 5. Own up to your mistakes and put a plan in motion to correct them; 6. Kindness is king!

Hey leaders...there will always be people who exist to do nothing but tear you down and try to ruin your personal and prof. relationships. Hang tough, surround yourself w/people who believe in the vision/mission, and stay true to your core values!

I’m continuously amazed by the youth in our schools. Also continuously amazed by adults who don’t seem to understand or who are not able to appreciate the courage it takes to drive change. We must all listen to our youth with intentionality.
