Excited for tonight’s chat! #LeadersRead

A2: I think a successful giver isn’t scared to have hard conversations with people if that is what needs to happen to help them grow or succeed. I also think they know when to say no. That doesn’t make them less of a giver, just one who has boundaries. #LeadersRead

A3:@UnionChief2017 for student culture at your school, Jennifer Durbin for building relationships with coworkers, Melanie Wood Moody for a curriculum expert, Bethany Kihnley for building relationships in your classroom #LeadersRead

I strive to be a giver with a positive presence,who will brainstorm ideas and encourage and lift others up to help them shine. I know being around people like this has been a game changer for me. It creates a ripple effect of wanting to be a game changer. #LeadersRead
