I am old enough to remember using a road map to get where I was going. Yes, I am talking about the impossible to fold map that lived in the glove compartment! In the 90’s I graduated to MapQuest and clearly remember driving to Ocean City, New Jersey with my wife reading pages and pages of directions to help us get to the beach. Now we have GPS and I love it so much! I can even choose a voice with a British accent that sounds super smart while guiding me through an unfamiliar city. GPS is an

I want you to take a moment and notice the title of this week’s episode. The title is NOT: “5 Strategies To Be More Extroverted As An Introverted Leader” The title is NOT: “4 Ways You Can Come Out Of Your Shell As An Introverted Leader” If you are an introvert, you do not need to “be fixed”. You do not need to “overcome” being an introvert. You don’t need to “come out of your shell” to successfully lead your school. I’ve worked with many introverted leaders over the years and most of them

“Rise and grind.” “I’ve got a dream that is more important than sleep.” “I pledge allegiance to the grind.” What do these “motivational” quotes have in common? They glamorize a very dangerous thing called “hustle culture”. Don’t get me wrong, an incredible work ethic is necessary to be a successful private school leader. But, hustle culture crosses the line from hard work to shaming someone for getting some rest. Hustle culture takes a good thing and makes it toxic. Many entrepreneurs and

I am not an expert on grief. I am not a therapist. Everyone experiences grief and loss differently. I am NOT going to tell you how YOU should lead your school while dealing with loss. I am just going to share my experience. In May of 2017, my sister Cathy died from breast cancer. In late June of 2018, my twin sister Ruth died from breast cancer. One week later, my father-in-law passed away. In February of 2019, my sister Marcia had a heart attack and died. In September of 2021, my father

The date was December 29, 1972. It was shortly before midnight and it was a warm night in Miami. Family and friends waited inside the terminal for Eastern Airlines flight 401 out of JFK Airport in New York City. The 163 passengers were looking forward to celebrating New Year’s Eve in Miami with family and friends. What happened over the next few minutes would change aviation history forever.

Earlier this year, Taylor Swift came to my city. Somehow, my 25 year old daughter was able to get tickets to the show. That’s when I started to understand a little bit more about Taylor Swift fans or “Swifties”. Three days before the first show, six 18 wheelers rolled into town. These are the merchandise trucks and the “Swifties” were camping out the night before to be the first in line to buy a T-shirt. For Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour”, her fans dressed up in outfits that represented

I want you to use your imagination. You are driving home from school and you are stopped at a red light. You are the car closest to the red light and you are watching the cars zip through the intersection in front of you. Suddenly, a camel slowly makes its way through the intersection and the camel is being ridden by a clown. You can’t believe your eyes, but it's real! You watch the camel and the clown make their way through the intersection and then disappear down a side street. Now, I

In the spring of 2006, terrorists ruled the streets of Ramadi, Iraq. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, US Army soldiers, US Marines, Navy SEALs and friendly Iraqi soldiers moved quietly through the streets of Ramadi, going house to house, searching for the enemy. Suddenly, a fierce firefight broke out. When the bullets stopped flying and the dust settled, one friendly Iraqi soldier was dead, two more were wounded and one Navy SEAL was wounded as well. When the “fog of war” lifted, it was

The same thing happens every summer. As sure as there will be fireworks on the 4th of July, you can count on this happening about two weeks before the first day of school. A parent calls your school and really wants to enroll their child in their school. They also want to do it right now. Immediately, my “antennae goes up” and I start asking myself some questions like: “Why did they wait until now to call?” “Is there something else going on here?” “Why are they having such a hard time

Goldilocks was hungry. She smelled the porridge that the three bears had left behind. She lifted the latch. She walked over to the table, looked at the three bowls of porridge and then carefully sat down. We all know what happened next. One bowl was too hot, one was too cold and one was just right! The Goldilocks Effect is the premise that people are inclined to seek 'just the right amount' of something. “The Goldilocks Effect has a place in several fields and disciplines. It applies to

I want you to use your imagination. The QB of your favorite NFL team leaves the game, goes to the blue medical tent, he stands on the sideline for the rest of the game, but he doesn’t return. After the game, the QB and the head coach are asked about why he didn’t return to the game. The QB and the coach just say, “No comment, no comment, no comment.” Monday is a day off for the team, but your QB doesn’t practice on Tuesday or Wednesday. After practice, the QB and the coach just keep saying,

In July 2011, a man walked into the Tulsa, Oklahoma Convention Center carrying five glass cups. PBS was there filming an episode of Antiques Roadshow. This man had bought these cups back in the 1970’s. He knew that the cups were from China, but he had no idea what they were worth. Lark Mason, a Chinese antiquities expert, sat down across from the man and picked up one of the glasses. His jaw dropped and he started calling other experts over to his table. These five “glass cups” were

I love sports movies! My favorite is Rocky 4, but I also love Miracle, Remember The Titans, Hoosiers, Field of Dreams, Tin Cup, Caddyshack and so many more. There is a sports movie that came out in 2009 that I think is really underrated. What movie is that? Invictus. Invictus is the story of the 1995 Rugby World Cup, held in South Africa. Nelson Mandela (played by Morgan Freeman) had just dismantled apartheid and the country was deeply fractured. The national team, The Springboks, were

Before I give you the answer, I have to tell you two things. First, I have never been very good at riddles. Second, the answer is the subject of today’s podcast episode. What am I? Time.

Summer means different things to different people. For my family it means 4th of July fireworks, cooking burgers on the grill, fireflies, playing a little golf (badly), reading a book in the backyard hammock and one glorious week on the beach and the boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ. Summer also means the same thing for me as it does for you. Summer means wrapping up this school year and then immediately preparing for next school year, trying to find teachers to interview, overseeing maintenance

The windshield on your car is MUCH, MUCH bigger than your rear view mirror. That makes sense, right? When you are driving down the road, your focus is on what’s ahead. Over the last several years, I have become a much more defensive driver. Unfortunately, there are way too many people on their phones. So, I am always watching for someone swerving into my lane. I am always looking ahead and it is VERY RARE for me to check my rearview mirror while I’m driving. This is EXACTLY what we do as

Has this ever happened to you? You are sitting at your desk at school, working on something and you just “feel off”? You aren’t sure what’s wrong. Maybe you feel agitated or grumpy. Maybe you feel a little bit queasy or dizzy. Maybe you feel out of sorts. Maybe you feel really fatigued. You can’t really describe it. That’s why we just say, “I’m feeling off today” or “Not sure what’s going on with me today” So, I’ve had this happen to me dozens of times and it is not a great feeling. Well,
