I know I’m never responsible for a team winning. It’s coaches and players who win games. But I do love giving leaders the tools and frameworks to help them build a winning culture and team. Grateful for this story about the opportunity to work with these two great coaches and programs and many others. statesman.com/story/sports/c…
This is a great episode, especially if you are a parent. I don’t always get it right (most of the time I don’t) but “have to” vs “get to” can make a huge difference in your life. E+P=O
Great work @JimVanAllan

Full circle between Sun. night and Mon. morning. Sunday I graduated from the @LearningForward Academy ‘24 where I focused on implementing a theory of change (that was tied to the @EnergyBusSchool). This morning I spent time reflecting for @JimVanAllan on our success at the Rock!

Kobe Bryant worked like he had no talent, then he played like he believed he was the best player in the world. Prepare with humility; perform with confidence.

“[The Energy Bus] It resonates with young and old - there is a simplicity and a deepness to it, that allows you to go further.”
- @CharacterStrong Pod
@EnergyBusSchool is game changing for culture. The quote above is so true. Simple but so deep.
Reach out to hop on our Bus!
“It comes down to root vs. fruit. What are we investing in. Are we investing in the root - culture, the relationships, commitment to people, professional growth. Or is just fruit - data & numbers, which is important - but a focus on the ROOT will produce the FRUIT”
@JimVanAllan
My absolute most difficult battle in this career. Making sure that I am as good to people that share my last name as I am to those who don’t. At the end of the day - I am fully replaceable in one space & quite the opposite in the other. I try to remember that…but still struggle
We had such an incredible time at our new staff @EnergyBusSchool Onboarding event on Wed. We worked to bring new staff up to speed so that we can hit the ground running when students return. On new folks not only learned about the Energy Bus, but also what it means to #RepTheRock
“Our job as a leader is to make hard decisions…we should only be making decisions that require our skill set, experience, or knowledge. Too often we try to make all the decisions…taking the opportunity from someone else”- to grow, develop, and lead.

No such thing as an overnight success. The way of the Craftsman. From The Carpenter.
Before I was introduced to @JonGordon11 and The Energy Bus, these were the 10 rules I had in my office. Middle schoolers connected with Kobe and I enjoyed talking about rule 1. Thanks to @JimVanAllan and the @EnergyBusSchool our elementary Ss now thrive on “You are the driver!”

Incredible experience at the @EnergyBusSchool Conference in Charlotte! Our speakers provided amazing strategies & value, and @JonGordon11 delivered the perfect opening keynote. We even certified Energy Bus for Schools Trainers at the event. I know these educators are fueled up!
