Key Takeaways:

- We need to start educating people on how to be self aware at a younger age.
- The cognitive triangle is what we need to realize affects how others see us. People can't see our thoughts and feelings. But only are actions which define who we are.
- We should look to implement a 10-15 minute slot of time each day when students are able to practice self awareness as it pertains to the cognitive triangle.

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.
