Empowering Your Teachers for the 2024-25 School Year with Working Genius

by | Jul 1, 2024 | Uncategorized

Teaching is ​not a solo act, it is a dynamic team sport. Like Olympic​ athletes, being a teacher takes endurance, perseverance, mental toughness, preparation, and the ability to adjust to constantly shifting circumstances.

Is your school and teacher team ready to face the 2024-2025 school year? Do you want to set your school/ district up for success in a simple yet powerful way, with a cost effective, non time-consuming solution, where you will learn about each teacher’s genius and how it contributes to the well-being of students, parents and the teachers themselves?

I’d like to offer your school a revolutionary assessment and debrief that will help each teacher, and each group of teachers appreciate their genius’ and the genius’ of each other to be able to bring joy, energy and skills to the classroom as well as to the teacher’s lounge.
The Working Genius assessment, created by Patrick Lencioni, is perfect for your back to school teacher​ professional development days. If you are in Colorado, and would like a Working Genius session for your Middle School or High School, I have several openings in my calendar for August and September 2024. * If you are outside Colorado and would like a program for your back to school planning days, please reach out as well.

By understanding their own working genius and that of their colleagues, school leaders can leverage their collective strengths to lead their schools to greater success, more engagement, easy collaboration, and higher ROI for everyone involved.

What Did You Do on Your Summer Vacation?

What Did You Do on Your Summer Vacation?

Remember the first day of school? “What did you do on your Summer Vacation?” was the question we all got when we went back to school after summer vacation.
When I grew up, school started the day after Labor Day. That’s today. And the first question the teacher would ask is, “what did you do over your summer vacation?”, sometimes we had to write an essay. The challenge was to pick the one stand out experience that would help influence who we would become moving forward.
Thinking about that now is not a bad exercise. Can you think of one thing you did during this past 3 months- summer time that will have an influence on you moving forward? Was it a place you went, a person you met, or was it something you learned or did that changes the way you look at the world?
For me this was my summer of bucket list moments. I got to zipline over a waterfall in Alaska and try hang gliding in California. The results of both are mixed and I’ll touch on that later…. But I can say, I don’t regret it, any of it.
As my birthday approaches later this month… I now look forward to what I will do on my next summer vacation. How about you? What did you do this Summer that will make a difference in your life? I’d love to hear all about it!
