I aim to be more sensitive to
the feelings of those with
whom I work, as opposed to
the organizational policies
and procedures that govern
day to day operations.

My goal is to:
Not rely on my calendar as
frequently to dictate my daily
tasks, instead to focus on the needs
of others and the needs of the day.
Challenge my old habits and
outdated school traditions, looking
instead for a better way.
Avoid dismissing the ideas of
others that I disagree with initially.
Encourage others to share their
ideas, success, and challenges so
as to maximize learning and avoid
potential problems.
Continue to take risks and try
something new, but to also share
my story.
