Are you tired of trying to convince people that you’re right? Be honest. I will. I for sure am. Trying to convince people of my valid (ahem...right) reasons for doing what I do is exhausting and rarely works. I am going to share a little inspiration that will help you profoundly. You will stop trying to be right and realize how to think again and be okay with even (deep breath) being wrong.

I have recently embraced this practice of what Adam Grant calls “thinking like a scientist” and I want to share it with you. If you are willing to stop being so exhausted from convincing people of your rightness, this one is for you.

Here’s what we’re getting into:

If you’re exhausted from trying to convince others of your rightness and awesomeness but don’t know what to do about it, you need to listen to this episode. Let’s do it!

I’ve been working on the whole gentleness thing officially for nine years. I will share with you what I am doing now to make it stick.

Here’s what we’re getting into:

Not having enough time to do our jobs is one of the burdens of being a teacher. Consequently, it’s essential to guard our limited time and energy with our lives. This is why boundaries with our students are a must.

Boundaries might not be what you think they are, and they may look different with students versus with other adults. Embracing boundaries has been a learning process for me, so I’m excited to share some of my own stories so you can hopefully learn from my mistakes.

How do you spend the tiny pockets of time waiting for a meeting to begin? How about the time when your students are transitioning back from lunch or recess and you’re waiting for them in the classroom? What you’re choosing to do can impact your overall stress quite a bit.

Confetti time is a term I learned to name these little moments. I used to spend my confetti time “catching up” on email until I learned how impactful these moments can be if I spend them in a different way. Impactful is also an understatement. Let’s dig into the magic of confetti time and how to use it to your advantage!
