I'm sorry, but I personally am not willing to settle for a lifestyle that doesn't have a good deal of fun built into it.

Yes, I believe in working hard. Yes, I believe in being a responsible, upstanding citizen of the world. 

AND...for goodness sakes...life is constantly going to keep throwing things at us that are heavy & challenging & hard. We need to counter...

Have you noticed that now that the pandemic dust is settling here in the US, people are more willing to have serious conversations about how to make systemic changes regarding issues that have plagued us for a long time?

I have been listening and observing leaders & employees, tired mamas & exhausted dads...they are all echoing the same sentiment. "Somethings gotta give in terms of how...

“Crisis” is what happens when we see red flags in our people and our systems and we address the symptoms, but not the root cause of the problem.

For many of us it feels like some of the pressure is lessening as we can be outdoors more and the demands of schooling our children are not...

Troubled times are where we really get to see what our leaders are made of. Now, more than ever, the world, and the state of education, is crying out for leaders who "get it."
