As an author and an avid reader, I'm obsessed with books. What if the books with the greatest power to transform your teaching and relationships with students, parents, admins, and co-workers aren't books about education?

In this episode, I dive into Stephen Covey's masterpiece, 'The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.' This body of work opened my eyes, changed my thought process, and made me comfortable discussing my feelings and challenges. It was my "gateway drug" into all things personal development.

I'll be sharing my journey and how I've seen these habits shape and improve my classrooms, relationships with parents, and connections with co-workers.

Highlights of this episode include:

➡️ How I got introduced to this legendary work
➡️ What are the seven habits?
➡️ How do the habits relate to our life as educators?
➡️ From IEPs to setting boundaries on time and communicating with parents - how these practical habits have stood the test of time
➡️ Why Covey's seventh habit is the foundation for authentic self-care and better school and life balance
