What's your focus? Do you need to adjust it? Are we still focused on all students achieving, staying positive, coming to GVMS with our students best interest in our hearts? About this time, I need to re-center myself and remind myself of my focus: student achievement, student engagement, supporting our staff, and always making decisions in the best interest of our students and staff. What's YOUR re-center moment?
Sean Anchor argues that happiness inspires us to be more productive! The more kindness you sow, your mindset will shift to live and lead a happier life. That's his Ted Talk above =)
#kindnessmatters Did you know that a smile, a kind word, a helping hand or a simple note of thanks on a sticky note can truly make someone's day? These are SIMPLE acts of kindness that can be LIFE CHANGING for many on our staff. Happiness researcher (yes, it's a real thing), found that if you perform random acts of kindness for two minutes a day for twenty-one days, you can actually retrain your brain to be more positive. WHO IS IN WITH ME?!?!?!
