Sarah and I both want to take a moment to thank Dr. Daniel C. Buckman for writing the foreword to this book. Dan, thank you for being my teacher, my coach, my encourager, my mentor, and my friend. It is a privilege to have your words of wisdom in Be the Manatee! #BeTheManatee

I appreciate it when others are transparent with me. Good news is a pleasure to hear. Bad news is easier to take when delivered with transparency, kindness, empathy, and compassion. More in the chapter "The Shark" in Be the Manatee. Available for pre-purchase on 8/5 #BeTheManatee

Sarah and I want to give a big THANK YOU to Dr. Christie Finn McMullen for being our official author coach, as well as a great encourager, colleague, and friend. Christie, you gave us the push we needed to finish writing Be the Manatee. #bethemanatee

Sarah and I want to thank Dr. Rosita C. Riley, Dr. Stefanie Cedar Shames, Dr. Lorrie B. Butler, and Dr. Bradley K. Fuller for all your support during these last months of preparing our book, Be the Manatee, for publication. Your endorsements mean the world to us! #BeTheManatee

Today I was feeling like The Elephant, The Honeybee, and also The Butterfly. I look forward to sharing these stories with you in Be the Manatee. #bethemanatee #leadershipbook #leadershipadvice #businessleadership #educationalleadership

I just love the metamorphosis of a butterfly. It is fascinating to young and old. Thinking about my own metamorphosis as a leader has been enlightening. #businessleadership #bethemanatee #educationalleadership #leadershipbook #leadershipadvice
