Well, today is the day. How You Show Up is officially live. I'll keep it real. I've spent the last six years hesitating to write again. Two best-selling books in, and I still sat with a stack of "what if this one isn't as good" doubts every time I opened the laptop. Writing this forced me to close my own "belief gap" before I ever helped anyone else close theirs. At its core, How You Show Up is about the gap that exists in each one of us between who we intend to be and who the people around us actually experience. Not because we're not enough, but because the most important person any of us will ever lead is the one staring back in the mirror. I wrote it for anyone who needs to show up for other people every single day, at work or at home, often carrying more than anyone around them realizes. If that's you, I think you'll see yourself somewhere in these pages. Change the belief. Change the behavior. Change the outcome. That's the book in nine words. You don't need a perfect score to live a life filled with purpose and impact. If you want to check it out, it's available now: amzn.to/4gKkXfY

Good advice doesn't have an expiration date! Sharing this one again from @AskAdam3 and @All4Ed: "The Conversations District Tech Directors Need to Be LEADING Right Now." From #AI and screen time to equity and district leadership, these are conversations that still matter. 🔗 all4ed.org/blog/the-conversa…

Every student deserves to feel seen, supported, and capable of success. Important lessons from @WilsonSchoolsNC on the power of relationships, family partnerships, and helping kids with learning differences thrive. Great read from @All4Ed! bit.ly/4yl0y6Q

What if every student had not only meaningful opportunities to explore their future -- but people invested in helping them get there? That’s what stands out to me about the work happening at @TonkaSchools in Minnesota. Through VANTAGE, approximately 700 students are paired 1:1 with professional mentors who help them navigate project work, professionalism, and future planning. Through MOMENTUM, students get hands-on experience in fields like engineering, manufacturing, construction, transportation, and aviation. Add extensive #dualenrollment opportunities and industry-recognized credentials, and you begin to see what a truly connected pathway can look like. This isn’t about adding one more program. It’s about creating an ecosystem where students can explore their interests, build relationships, gain real-world experience, and leave high school with both skills AND a clearer sense of where they want to go. That’s @FutureReady Pathways in action. Take a look at Minnetonka’s story and the intentional work happening across all four #FutureReadyPathways pillars: ➡️ futurereadypathways.org/minn… #FutureReady #WorkBasedLearning #CareerConnectedLearning #StudentSuccess
