Kids gravitate to authenticity. When you’re the real deal... they will notice it... and they will follow you.

4 ways to be a good colleague: 1) Give the adults around you the benefit of the doubt. 2) Focus on solutions rather than dwelling in negativity. 3) Demonstrate a relentless commitment to doing right by kids. 4) Be willing to stand in the gap when your colleague needs help.

When you see someone doing something good, take 30 seconds to tell them you noticed. Make sure they feel good about doing good. It’s these small gestures that have a huge effect on #culture & climate.
