4 questions to test your intellectual humility:
- Do I think more like a soldier or a scout? (Soldiers defend, scouts explore.)
- Do I want to understand or just be right?
- Do I seek opposing views?
- Do I enjoy the pleasant surprise of discovering I’m wrong?

When we say we don't HAVE time, it means we don't MAKE time. We all have 1440 minutes per day, so let's take responsibility for how we CHOOSE to spend them. Work, Sleep, Family, Friends, Exercise, Media, Play, SelfCare - What do YOU prioritize & create space for? #SuccessCoach

Instead of getting furious when a kid acts out, get curious-- Ask yourself 2 questions- 1. What's going on that may be triggering him to feel/act this way? 2. Why did it trigger such a reaction in me? Get #CuriousNotFurious. Be a behavior detective. #SEL #Empathy #SuccessCoach

We spend a lot of time looking at ourselves & worrying about our outward appearance. Create space each day to look WITHIN yourself & become more self-aware & self-reflective. The more reflective you are, the more effective you are. #EQ #Mindfulness #SuccessCoach #EnergyAlchemist

We get can get so focused on what we need to give students that we forget that the EDUCATOR'S presence is the most important resource we have for reaching & teaching our students. #SEL MUST start with the ADULTS. It starts with YOU. #SEL #Mindfulness #GrowthMindset #SuccessCoach

Often we are so busy that we run around on autopilot from one thing to the next. Today, take intentional pauses to notice positive details. Train your brain to look for the good in the world around you. #Attention #Appreciation #Awe #Mindfulness #EQ #SuccessCoach #EnergyAlchemist

In honor of #WorldKindnessDay, let's be extra mindful to infuse love & kindness into everything we do. Let's go to sleep tonight knowing that we made the world a little better, brighter, more positive, more peaceful, & kinder than we found it this morning. #KindStartsWithUs #Love

There are many other reasons why kids should be reading books (not just excerpts). Here's one: Holding on to your thinking over 300 pages is a different skill than "drive-by" excerpt reading. This is important in an age of distraction addiction.
