00:00:06 --> 00:00:11 Have you listened to Control-Shift-Lead, the new podcast from AWB Education
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12 and Inspired Edification?
00:00:13 --> 00:00:17 I think about like a Ryan Sandberg. He kept everything simple.
00:00:17 --> 00:00:21 He stayed with the basics. He was never flashy. I think that's one of the things
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23 that people liked a lot about him.
00:00:24 --> 00:00:28 And he's loyal to the Cubs. And we were all loyal to him. Yeah.
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33 Yeah. Well, you know, sometimes, and that's kind of a set of words I like to
00:00:33 --> 00:00:37 live by, that's the power of simple. You know, there's a lot of power in that.
00:00:37 --> 00:00:42 And I think as educators, certainly educational leaders, we forget about the power of simple.
00:00:48 --> 00:00:53 If not, you are missing out. Every month, Jim and Adam bring you three things.
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57 Something you can control, something that will shift your thinking,
00:00:57 --> 00:01:01 and something that can help you lead your school district or building.
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04 Well, with not just our students, but with our staff as well.
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08 And I think of the word vulnerable comes to mind. All the time. Yep.
00:01:08 --> 00:01:13 So I'm not going to be vulnerable if I'm not feeling safe mentally or physically.
00:01:14 --> 00:01:20 I need our staff to be that vulnerable because I need them to feel comfortable
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22 to take risks, try some things.
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25 Because every learner, we know that the complexity is all that. Yep. Yep.
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29 So I was talking to a friend of mine. I was telling, she's a,
00:01:29 --> 00:01:34 Susan's a therapist. and we were talking and I was mentioning to her about,
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37 I think I leveled up when I became vulnerable with the staff.
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39 I was talking about how I shared my true purpose.
