Thrilled to have ⁦@flipyour20_⁩ talking with our staff ⁦@CVESBOCES⁩ this afternoon. #flipyour20

Press growth!

Not all disappointing outcomes are failures. Some lead to improvements in your process. Success is about more than the results you achieve. It's also about the growth you attain. Progress is more than how close you come to your goal. It's how far you've come from your start.

A champion is built on the other side of I don’t feel like it.

Amazing two days with @inkyjohnson in Plattsburgh, NY! 2 events for educators and a student event were transformational. So grateful Inky made the trip and blessed to have met him!!! Thank you @thomascmurray for introducing us to Inky three years ago!

Get caught up in doing the work!

A sign of emotional intelligence is refusing to let feelings dictate decisions. Feelings are electrical signals in the brain. We don't choose every sensation, but we are responsible for how we react. Emotions are rarely calls to action. They're usually cause for reflection.

Happiness is not about reaching your goals. It's about aligning your goals with your values. Progress without purpose is empty. Achievement without impact is fleeting. Success is most rewarding when it serves the people and principles that matter to you.

What a day ⁦@CVESBOCES⁩ ! I was fortunate to spend the morning with ⁦@thomascmurray⁩ and about 350 of our amazing employees. Truly blessed to work with so many amazing professionals, impacting thousands of lives each day.

Happiness is not about maximizing the intensity of joy. It’s about increasing the frequency of joy. Chasing exhilaration is a roller coaster of regular disappointments and rare, ephemeral highs. Savoring daily delights is a steady, sustainable source of satisfaction.

Shared this video at our team meeting and our local business officials retreat. Powerful message professionally and personally! @inkyjohnson is spot on throughout and starts it with 🔥 “Pride cares about who is right, humility cares about what’s right”

What an honor to be back to keynote @RuralSchoolsNY again this year! Such a fun group!! These Superintendents, board members and BOCES leaders were a blast!!! I’ll never take the opportunity to encourage, challenge, and support leaders from coast to coast. Grateful. 🙏🏻 @nrea1

Grateful to be with ⁦@thomascmurray⁩ this morning at the RSA summer conference in Cooperstown.

What an amazing night in Moriah with ⁦@MikeVeny⁩ Looking forward to doing it again tomorrow night ⁦@CVESBOCES⁩ in Plattsburgh. Thank you Mike for sharing your story and the powerful tools for Mental Wellness!

You work so hard. You push. You believe when others don’t. You work weird hours. You try to take care of so many. You have dreams. So plan for the long haul. Don’t burnout. Get some rest this weekend. Don’t get so tired you become someone who treats others bad or you lose heart.

A key to lifelong learning is being as eager to hear "you're wrong" as "you're right." Small minds crave validation. They surround themselves with people who share their convictions. Great minds prize discovery. They gravitate toward people who stretch their thinking.

"Don't argue with the boss" is not a demand for respect. It's a sign of a fragile ego. Insecure leaders silence dissent to shield their self-esteem and save face. Secure leaders welcome critiques to improve their judgment. Being open to challenges is a prerequisite for growth.

Emotions alone don't determine our well-being. How we view them matters. Evidence: people who judge unpleasant emotions negatively have poorer well-being than those who accept them as part of life. A key to resilience is recognizing that what feels bad isn’t always bad for us.

Signs you're "busy" and not productive. - You're default busy. - You have notifications enabled on your phone and computer. - You check every email that comes in. - You use your inbox as a to-do list. - You don't plan your day in advance.
