It’s a New Year and time for a new Post! My #OneWord for this year is…. BRAVE!
I’ve been reading “Brave not Perfect” by Reshma Saujani and doing a book study with fellow admins in the state and country. I’ve been learning a lot about myself and the goals I have to make me a better wife, mom, friend and leader. In order for this to happen- I need to be BRAVE and put my fears and ideas for perfection aside.
I’ve learned that Fear is something that keeps me from moving forward and afraid to take risks; risks that could make me a stronger leader, better wife and supportive mom.
I’m paralyzed by the thought of making mistakes while at the same time I believe in a growth mindset and that mistakes are just proof that we are trying and we all make mistakes. I can say these mantras in my head over and over, but until I embrace being BRAVE things won’t change.
It’s too easy to stay in the place where we are comfortable, doing what we are good at, but it’s time for me to embrace being BRAVE and do something that feels scary and uncomfortable but moves me forward.
I want to find new challenges and opportunities that can lead to something amazing.
2020 is my year to be BRAVE and embrace mistakes and growth to be the best leader and coach I can.. My teachers and students deserve the best from me- the Brave me and not the perfect me.
