This is a site that challenges the walls of our mind, our classrooms, our houses to transform into windows. These windows allow us to collaborate, connect, learn, and inspire each other through being visible, modelling, and instilling healthy habits every, single, day.
School leadership is so big! It is incredible to think of all of the moving parts that are involved in leadership and what you need to oversee in a day. I so often talk about leadership in schools as administrators leading teachers. But today, I want to take a deep dive into how administrators can […]
There are problems in our world. There are problems everywhere you look. In fact, problems have become the main cast member throughout this pandemic that we are living in right now. And it feels so hard. Not one person isn’t affected and not one person has not had to shift and pivot to figure out […]
I’ve been doing a lot of research and soul searching lately in regards to being a leader. My passion is leadership. Leadership that engages people to want to take action. This passion to engage my community, family, friends, staff, etc. has lead me down some serious rabbit holes. However, the most common trend that comes […]
We are humans. We make mistakes. We fall. We get back up. The getting back up, that is where the magic happens. Do we get back up and try it again or quit and pivot completely, starting from scratch all over again. Now, if you have been reading my blogs or following me for awhile, […]

Hey there leader! Can I just say how proud I am of your ability to pivot when things get tough. Your willingness to figure it out and lift your community up during one of the hardest times we have ever lead is admirable. The most important factor? You never, ever give up. You’re taking action, […]

The beauty is that you are so needed for ideas, input, solving problems, topics of conversation, everything, etc. The beast? Well, the beast is that you are so needed for all of the above […]
Overwhelm and problems can take down the best of us… if we let it. As leaders, we are often found being the ‘go to’ for all types of things. The ‘go to’ for help or support. The ‘go to’ for questions. The ‘go to’ to receive confirmation or accolades. The ‘go to’ as the source […]
A colleague isn’t quite contributing like you want them to or perhaps you feel like they are interrupting you or undermining you.
