Communication is key 🔑 #pdsl #leadership UL_ELLA @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey

Very thought provoking conversations on Wednesday night looking at how we are for our leaders instead of how they are for us. Interesting to look at it from a different perspective #pdsl #leadership UL_ELLA @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey

Time for a well deserved break for school leaders and school communities. Time to be more mindful rather than mind full #wellbeing And for eating some chocolate too of course!!

Happy Easter from everyone in Aspiring Leaders. Wishing all our followers a lovely Easter break 😁 #PDSL #Leadership #AspiringLeaders

Wholeheartedly agree, Sue. The foundation of good leadership lies is in the relationships we build with other people. ‘Alone we can do so little but together we can do so much’ ✨ #pdsl #leadership @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA

So important to to be true to yourself, Sandra and lead from your values. Very aspirational! This quote comes to mind ‘Be yourself… everyone else is already taken’ (Oscar Wilde) #pdsl #leadership UL_ELLA Dr. Niamh Hickey @patriciamannixm

‘Have courage and be kind’ 💫 Not a bad motto for school leaders to adopt! According to M. Angelou ‘courage may be the most important of all virtues because without it we cannot practice any other virtue consistently’ #pdsl #leadership @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA

Must remember this one Catríona Killeen George Sage advice! Respond don’t react! #pdsl #leadership @patriciamannixm UL_ELLA Dr. Niamh Hickey

A leader can be highly effective and not be loud and over-bearing. In fact, a leader is best when they lead from below the surface so much so that when his work is done, the staff believe they did it themselves 👇🏻#pdsl #leadership @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA

Definitely Aisling Sugrue In giving feedback to others, we must always be kind and caring when doing so. Feedback is necessary to help us to learn. Afterall, leadership and learning are indispensable to each other. #pdsl #leadership @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA

So true Karen. A positive attitude will lead to positive outcomes. It’s not what happens to you but how you react to it that matters. #pdsl #leadership UL_ELLA @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey

A great listen 🎧 Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation on my walk this evening 🏃‍♀️ Key takeaway being ‘remove the temptation’ - leave the laptop, take some time out for yourself in the evening and return to school feeling refreshed 🙂 #sustainability @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey

‘Start small, celebrate successes and attract others - build the coalition of the willing’ Great to have the opportunity to listen to the inspirational Dr. Harold Hislop for our last lecture on #pdsl this semester UL_ELLA @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey
