Fearless Leaders - Pt. III

Being who you are, not being ashamed of it, is one of the cornerstones of being happy. 

As educators and leaders, we need to teach kids, at a young age, that it is okay to be who you are. There is no shame in who you are. We are all equal. 

Leaders inspire by working with us, working for us, and working for the betterment of us all. Let's hope we can all be who we are and continue to inspire others to be who they are. 

Fearless Leaders - Pt. II

If we take what Mr. Mandela states about success and failure, it is not how much we succeed that matters. It is how many times we get up in spite of failure.

In education, I constantly tell our teachers and students that it is okay to FAIL, as long as you learn from it and get back up and try again.

To FAIL = First attempt in learning.

Someone stated to me a few weeks back that failure in learning IS learning. If our students get the answer right the first time and we never push them to try new things and fail, then we are not doing our jobs as educators correctly. We need to push our students to fail. We need to help them learn and understand what those failures mean and how they can then turn them into successes.

Just some inspiration to get you through your day, week, or month! Always speak up and stand up for what you believe in, especially if it is for our students.
