What’s the biggest battle facing you today? – SCN Encourager
You know what they say about choosing your battles carefully. I sure do! For proof – Here’s my track record! (AKA = my real-world box score) When I tally up all of my assorted skirmishes on the home front over the years (both major and minor, cross-tabbed for all categories: marriage, finances, and children), you’ll see my won/loss…
Read MoreCould your district use better “storytelling?” – SCN Encourager
You’ve probably wondered about this before. I’d bet on it. Especially since that’s about all that’s left for me to bet on now. My March Madness bracket blew up days ago. But I know you’ve heard laments like these before. We have a wonderful school district. We need to tell our story. People don’t know our story.…

And you know me, usually I’m the Grand…
Read MoreWant to hear “the truth” about how much we work everyday? – SCN Encourager
It’s strong stuff. Almost a little embarrassing. It comes from Chris Brogan. You might remember him. I’ve written about him before. His expertise in marketing, networking, and business building has earned him a place on a number of Fortune 500 boards as well as the short list of highly sought after conference speakers. When I heard…
Read MoreYikes! How many object lessons can a dang bucket hold anyway? – SCN Encourager
The answer is “way too many!” So I’m stopping here. Before this whole bucket stuff gets out of hand. But there’s one more thinkpoint to pass along to you following Gary Vaynerchuk’s kick in the butt yesterday to be honest about our buckets. It’s hard to argue his point that the TRUTH should precede everything. (but that…
