  • Balancing compassion and performance in a pandemic world

    Courtney Lynch Mental Healthcare

    When I served in the Marines, we had a saying: Mission first, people always.

Leading with service is about acting selflessly on behalf of others to ensure their success. It’s about the simple actions you take to support others so they can thrive. The great news for leaders is that service can be demonstrated in the simplest ways.

    With remote work being the new professional normal, it can be especially challenging to stay productive and separate job stress from our personal lives.

    Savanna Flakes Mental Healthcare

    You made it! We all made it! What a year! Though my articles usually provide instructional strategies to support diverse learners, as this school year wraps up, it is only fitting that everyone stop and play the song "Celebrate" by Earth, Wind, and Fire. Please take a special moment to celebrate yourself, students, and our community of families. This school year was no ordinary year, full of unprecedented events and more. Before the school year wraps up, provide yourself and students opportunities to celebrate, appreciate the great times, and close with optimism.

  • It’s not perfectionism that’s hurting us. It’s our approach…

    Julian Reeve Mental Healthcare

    Finding a perfectionist that isn’t in some way proud to be one is like finding out you’ve won $100 million on the lottery. It’s not unheard of, but it’s rare! Why? Because perfectionists believe their strong work ethic, superior attention to detail, and ability to achieve more than everyone else puts them in a class above the rest.
