  • latoyadixon5 Jan 5 @ 9:39 AM EST
    A1. Breakthroughs involve the breaking through or breaking from those things that tend to hold us back, such as fear, rejection, failure, etc. I’ve come to realize that we are made free by our courage or held hostage by our fear & in 2018 I chose courage consistently. #leadupchat

    I hit a wall early this year. Kept trying to rev myself up but I felt like there was a void. I was good at what I did & the kids were successful but I kept asking, "Is this it?" After attending an Organic World Language workshop & reading TLAP I've done a 180 #leadupchat

      A friend and mentor always reminds me, “It’s all about Maslow.” If that emotion need for safety and trust isn’t met, then a child can’t be expected to learn.

    A4. I think what keeps us from breaking through many times is a lack of confidence that manifests itself into a lack of will. It’s not that we can’t overcome what we face; it’s challenging for us to carry and execute the confidence we need to overcome what we face. #leadupchat
  • TonySinanis Jan 5 @ 10:10 AM EST
    We also have to be mindful to insure that a “breakthrough” isn’t just a quick hit; instead it’s a dedicated effort to improve something specifically! Again, let’s avoid bouncing from thing to thing & instead dig deep for sustainable enhancement in our craft! #leadupchat

  • PrincipalPaul - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:17 AM EST
    A5: Self-Doubt and Changing Course too quickly. I need to get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. Life in leadership has been good. Need to understand that a swing-and-a-miss is going to happen from time to time. Maybe the key is giving a teammate the bat? #leadupchat
