Weathering the Storms

Effective educators and leaders know the outcomes they want to achieve. They are aware of their mission, purpose, and the values they bring to their work. However, conditions that occur throughout the year can diminish their clear sense of purpose and value. This session will explore 

1. what their individual mission, purpose, or values are

2. those conditions that detract from their mission

3. how they can be aware when they are getting off purpose and 

4. how they can regain and stay focused on what is truly important.
