Want 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…

Was Plato right about it being “not worth living?” You gotta wonder. Sure… his words and teachings have been admired for more than 2400 years.

Read MoreTwo phrases guaranteed to boost your popularity – SCN Encourager
These two little gems will work wonders at home and work. And now is the perfect time to haul them out. With the excitement of the Super Bowl starting to wane, we’re in a rare calendar lull when big time sporting and media events are few and far between. You couldn’t ask for a better window for dusting off your…
Read MoreSurprise. Sometimes my low standards lead to a higher place. – SCN Encourager
This roundabout is a fantastic way to start the day. Granted. It’s doesn’t happen all that often. But once in a while, the convoluted path I take in writing a daily Encourager for you and other school communicators actually leads to somewhere worthwhile. Want proof of this miracle? (Yeah, I figured you would.) My roundabout began here – with the…
