Leadership is not a title.
It’s how you treat people.

One of the best weekly updates since ladies and gentlemen, the weekend 😌 …and so, so relatable.

Wrapping up week 88 of morning pages, thinking about “voice”. ✍️

So I reread this week’s edition of Writing Wednesdays: “The Writer’s Voice” from Steven Pressfield

So many thoughts on this… #amwriting

Cliques divide people into insiders and outsiders. Healthy groups offer everyone a sense of belonging.

It's not enough to be polite. It's critical to convey that we value each member's contribution.

The foundation of respect is making sure others feel seen and heard.

Belonging is about connection, acceptance, & being part of something greater.

That's why its effect size is over a year's worth of learning potential.

There's potential in belonging.

Teachers, prioritize it for kids.
Leaders, prioritize it for staff.

We all need to belong.
