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.
Discipline is the not-so-secret weapon that separates good from great. It’s what propels athletes to victory, even when they’re tired, doubting themselves, or staring down impossible odds. Entrepreneurs and leaders alike face high stakes and relentless challenges. The difference between hitting your goals and falling short often comes down to one thing: discipline. This isn’t […]
I recently received an email from one of my mentors, Kaeli Lindholm, and it stopped me in my tracks. Her insights on leadership, strategy, and mobilizing people resonated deeply with me and reminded me of the power of intentional planning. Inspired by her wisdom, I began reflecting on my own journey and the lessons I’ve […]
Ghost towns didn’t just happen—they’re what you get when leaders fail to adapt, to plan, and to look ahead. Leadership today stands at a similar crossroads, where the most effective leaders will be those who are willing to evolve, invest in their own growth, and take charge of the future. If you’re serious about leading […]
Imagine if you had hard proof that a specific action you take today could revolutionize your results. What if you could say to your team, your school, or your organization: “I know this works because the research proves it—and the payoff is huge.” That’s the power of John Hattie’s effect sizes, and in this blog […]
Lead From Within… Look, you’ve heard it all before. “Take care of yourself,” “Put on your oxygen mask first,” “Self-care matters.” And yes, all that is true—but this isn’t just another reminder about bubble baths and morning affirmations. This is about something deeper. This is about becoming the kind of leader who invests in themselves […]
I’ll never forget the day Dr. Scott Morrison—my mentor and former superintendent—called me with an invitation that had me absolutely terrified. He asked if I would co-teach a masterclass with him. Not just any masterclass, mind you, but one for superintendents and directors. I had only been in my role as Director of Learning for […]
I had the privilege of co-presenting at the annual CASS Start Right conference for school leaders last week. It was an honor to be in a room full of leaders who were willing to give up a few days of their precious summer to learn and grow their leadership. In one of the parts of […]
Just last weekend, I found myself squished between my giggling children at the local cinema, buttery popcorn in hand, eyes glued to the screen. We were watching “Inside Out 2,” a poignant journey back into the complex world of emotions. Amidst the laughter and occasional teary moments (ok, I somehow cried A LOT…), a new […]
My Transformation from Overwhelm to Inspiration For too long, I wore my exhaustion like a badge of honor. As a seasoned school administrator, I was no stranger to the crushing weight of endless responsibilities. Day in and day out, I battled the burnout that seemed to be a non-negotiable part of my job. But what […]
As a school principal, my days were a whirlwind of meetings, decisions, and constant demands. Despite trying to maintain an active lifestyle, I was perpetually tired, bloated, and struggling with skin issues…I know…TMI, but it is the hard truth. I exercised regularly, but it wasn’t enough. I went years struggling to have a good day […]
