Over the last 3 months I have been observing my new team- the structure, the dynamics and the resources to determine what skills we have and what can we build with them. This information allowed me to set a strategic direction.
I have been struggling for the last 6 months with my website, my blog, my social media presence…there was so much going on I didn’t know where to start. To be sure, it’s all good stuff. Work is good, life is good, business is good. I’ve been in my current job for nearly two years Read More
For as long as I can remember I have always participated in the Easter tradition of Lent. Each year, right around the beginning of March my family and friends begin discussing what they are giving up for Lent.

As American Education Week comes to to an end I believe we are entering an era that requires drastic measures to ensure the success of America’s school system.

My mother has always been a source of inspiration and I credit her for my interest and passion for quality education in America’s schools. I can’t think of a better way to honor educators than to highlight my mother’s own contribution to public education. She has taught in the Virginia Public school system for 29 years.
Next Monday marks, the 89th annual American Education Week, November 14–20. I am not a professional educator, nor do I have kids in the education system- yet I have this strange connection and understanding of the importance of schools and teachers and the process of educating the masses.
Thousands of teachers around the world spend each day in the classroom with children, teenagers and adults alike. These teachers are a grounding force for the new generations to come.
Even when I was younger I was always questioning the process of everything. This habit led me to seek out and follow the process and those implementing the policies & procedures around me. Who were these people in charge? Whether in university leadership programs or professional associations I have taken an interest in the steering Read More
