    Humility is recognizing your strengths and your limitations and finding a balance-a wisdom to know that you have talent, you inspire others and to shine in such a way as to elevate others around you as you do. #engagechat believing in yourself without arrogance or pridefulness
  • daviswelcome - Moderator Sep 7 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    This is so true! #EngageChat
  • Dale_Chu Sep 7 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    Which is hard when you're always right (I kid, I kid...) #engagechat 😉
    In reply to @daviswelcome
  • SupriyaVasu Sep 7 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A1: As per the definition provided by @PosProject, humility is not seeking the spotlight, letting actions speak louder than words. #engagechat To me it means I have a LONG way to go and learn to become a better educator and human,
    In reply to @daviswelcome, @PosProject
  • REDCARPETCLASS Sep 7 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A1: Educators may know a lot, but we don’t know it ALL. It’s okay to ask... it’s okay to try things out of your comfort zone. When we start getting the “our way or the highway” frame of mind is when humility often takes place. #engagechat
  • daviswelcome - Moderator Sep 7 @ 8:16 PM EDT

  • jamesvarlack Sep 7 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A1 Humility is moving on to higher positions and higher pay, but never forgetting the attitude it takes to work in the trenches #engagechat
  • Mrs_Gilchrist Sep 7 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A1: When you are humble, you strive to be free from arrogance. You are a servant leader and seek to build up others. You are strong, but your strength comes from self-reflection and striving as a lifelong learner to get better and better. #engagechat
  • inspire0818 Sep 7 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A1. I think when a person shows humility, he/she is humble. Very modest... #engagechat

  • TarniaCovooper Sep 7 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A1: Humility has so many meanings to me. In part I think it is being willing to show vulnerability. Something that's often easier for me to do with my students than with adults. #EngageChat
  • ChrisQuinn64 Sep 7 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A1: Humility... St. (Mother) Teresa said it best in many different ways... #engagechat
  • Singh_Vandana Sep 7 @ 8:16 PM EDT

    In reply to @TarniaCovooper
  • Dale_Chu Sep 7 @ 8:21 PM EDT
    A2: They’re analogous to those of a servant leader. Empathy. Kindness, Respect. Integrity. Asking others for their thoughts and opinions. #engagechat
    In reply to @daviswelcome
  • _TomGReid Sep 7 @ 8:22 PM EDT
    A2) True humility is, in essence, a recognition that you are not the smartest, best, prettiest, (or whatever other superlative you wish to express) person in the room or organization. There is always someone better in some aspect of the evaluation. #engagechat
  • REDCARPETCLASS Sep 7 @ 8:22 PM EDT

  • Acevedo493 Sep 7 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    A2. Person who is knowledgeable, shares information and resources and still keep a kind heart to others. Person who does not think knows it all and his/her way is the right way and only way #engagechat
  • ChouinardJahant Sep 7 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    Present, welcoming, generous of time and spirit. Seeking the advice of investors because they know that they might be a jack of all trades but a master of none. #EngageChat approachable, great listener and above all not at center stage but in the front row- cheering on the leads
  • KimGriesbach Sep 7 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    A1: To me it means being on the same level & serving everyone in the same manner - - not focusing on “rank” (not letting your position and/or ego take over). I also believe it’s about life-long learning & never feeling/acting like an “expert” or know-it-all. #engagechat
  • ElizRussellEdu Sep 7 @ 8:23 PM EDT

    Humility opens one up to choices because it allows you to see alternative routes, lets you trust yourself that you can venture down either because growth is inevitable this builds confidence it comes from understanding you aren’t done yet #EngageChat you are always changing

    Everything! A humble leader has to be willing to be vulnerable and that takes all the confidence in the world. Being willing to look foolish for taking a chance. Being able to admit to being wrong and learning from the experience. #engagechat

    A5 When you’re comfortable in your skin, when you look to do things for the greater good, when you’re ready to include others in empowering all to do their best, your confidence shines through and watch with pride. The humility is there in your actions. #engagechat

    A5: A lack of self-confidence often leads to arrogance. One feels a need to impress others due to feelings of inadequacy. When we embrace a growth mindset, we have confidence in leading because we know it's not about perfection nor about us—it's about helping others. #engagechat
