An Authentic Conversationalist

Inspirational and Empowering

A 21st Century Learning Specialist

The best educational leaders I know listen so deeply during conversations that you know every word is being absorbed and processed.  This is an essential trait in a leader, as it is through deep listening that we can get to the heart of concerns and attend to the real issues at hand.  Too often we find ourselves having superficial conversations day-to-day, saying ‘hi’ or ‘how’s it going?’ in the hallways.  This is not bad in itself, but if these conversations are the only ones you have with your peers for any length of time, you loose the personal connection that is so important to educators.
