Key Takeaways:
Key Takeaways:
- Take the challenge of accepting a compliment.
- Whether you accept people (or act) as a visitor or a guest has a huge effect on the community. Just ask Disney!
- Your community is ultimately you.
- If we want to be in better communities, we have to bring our best selves to that community. That is how they are created.
- The more you intentionally act with pure intention to the best of your ability to create your own success, the more people will come into your life that support you.
- We need to start mimicking the qualities of blue zones to build stronger communities. People who exist in stronger, more socially connected societies live longer.
- We need people that are brave enough to implement SEL on a consistent and ingrained basis.

Who am I?
I’ve been an educator in Massachusetts for 23 years. I’m finishing my 16th year as a building leader. I’m a teacher centered Principal and passionate about continuous improvement and the idea that success is not a destination, but a process. I’m active on social media, vlog about continuous improvement on a weekly basis, and wrote a book also called SEEing to Lead as a way to help everyone improve education as a whole by promoting my “just cause”: improving the educational experience for as many people as possible by being purposeful, acting with integrity, and building character.
