Along Came a Leader: My Zoom Visit with Fairview Park City School District’s Book Club

Last week I had the honor of being invited by the Fairview Park City Schools book club to discuss my book, Along Came a Leader: A Personal and Professional Guide to Leadership. I was thrilled to connect with fellow educators who share my passion for leadership and education. Our virtual discussion on the Zoom platform was a rewarding experience, and I was grateful for the chance to share my insights and learn from others.

During our conversation, we delved into the challenges educators face and how leadership can help overcome these obstacles while inspiring students. I drew from my experiences in coaching, teaching, and writing to offer practical strategies and techniques for fostering positive and productive cultures and promote the six tenets of leadership from my book.

As a speaker and educator, I am passionate about inspiring others to become better leaders. I firmly believe that everyone has the potential to be a great leader, and my goal is to empower individuals and organizations to achieve their full potential. By sharing my insights, I hope to help others unlock their leadership potential and create a lasting impact on their communities.

The book club, comprised of educators, administrators and staff members asked some incredible questions. One teacher asked me what my biggest struggle with leadership was. My answer was ‘accountability’ and I explained my challenges of holding myself personally accountable and helping to maintain accountability within an organization without coming across as a jerk. Everyone seemed to appreciate my candor and sense of humor. I was also asked about how I addressed loyalty in the book. One teacher really appreciate that I highlighted the difference and importance of placing loyalty in virtues about people. People change. We have a duty to be loyal to virtues. We can love people even when they make mistakes, but when those mistakes hurt others, our loyalty must always stay with the virtue. Now, loyalty in relationships is different and a mark of integrity. Don’t confuse personal and professional loyalties. They are not the same. They should not be intertwined. We need virtuous leaders of the highest level of integrity to have the courage to identify a wrong as wrong and work collaboratively to correct it, without allowing friendships to interfere.

I really enjoyed talking to the large group and it is always an honor when someone reads your book and wants to talk to you about how it impacted them. Wow! I am never taking that for granted. What a great afternoon! Click to Read More

The Fairview Park City Schools book club found resonance with my message that leadership is not a fixed trait but a set of skills that can be developed over time. This experience reaffirmed my belief that leadership is a journey, and that there is always room for growth and improvement.

In conclusion, I am grateful for the opportunity to have connected with the Fairview Park City Schools book club and to have shared my insights on leadership. If you are interested in learning more about my speaking engagements or hosting a book study on Along Came a Leader, please do not hesitate to contact me. Together, we can unlock our leadership potential and create a better future for ourselves and our communities.

I hope to return to Fairview Park City Schools again. I was their opening speaker for staff for the 2022-2023 school year. It was a blast! We have fun and kicked off the year just right! I hope to speak to their elementary students with my dog, Jedi, about our book “Unthink Before Bed” to help the students with leadership, mindfulness, confidence, self regulation, and more! I’ll do some art that day too set to music. Fun presentation for me and students and they get to meet the star of the book, Jedi.

Always amazed and honored when organizations use my book as their choice for a book study. What a great feeling! I have had several school districts, nonprofits, and even financial institutions use Along Came a Leader as their required reading for their organization and team and I always offer to drop in via video to discuss their takeaways. It’s fun for everyone!

Prioritize this takeaway: Reading a book is great. Reading a book and discussing it with others is better. Reading and discussing a book with others and interviewing the author is fantastic. I am so happy to have been able to accommodate Fairview Park City School’s request. Thank you for choosing my book, Along Came a Leader. Applying what we learn from books is the most important thing we can do to make a difference in our lives and the lives of others.

Always forward,

Kelly

Speaker at the COSSBA Conference in Tampa!

Honored to Speak at The National Conference for the Consortium of State School Boards Associations, Tampa, Florida

It was an honor to speak at The National Conference for the Consortium of State School Boards Associations last weekend in Tampa, Florida.

National Conferences are particularly inspiring because of the opportunity for people across the nation to share, inspire and network solutions to our greatest challenges.

This conference was memorable because I co-presented with my superintendent, Pat Adkins. Our presentation highlighted the great work our district’s staff is doing at Port Clinton Schools. Pat led the presentation and absolutely inspired our audience with the amazing initiatives happening in our district. Our title was “Safe, Healthy and Learning! How Leaders Can Prioritize and Implement Solutions to Improve the Safety and Wellness of Students, Staff and Family as a Crucial Component of On-Going Learning.” Click to Read More

In this presentation we highlighted the amazing work being led by our teachers, guidance counselors, nurses, SROs, principals, assistant principals, administration, board, leadership teams, and truly EVERYONE in our district. We believe everyone in our district is a leader and has the opportunity to lead. We highlighted leadership examples from our custodial, busing, and maintenance teams as well.

We are a district that embraces the lifelong journey of learning and improving. We know we don’t have all of the solutions, but we are proud of what we are doing and the journey we are on! We are on a mission of continuous improvement of culture, care, academics, and service to all. We love opportunities like COSSBA to share and celebrate our staff and accomplishments.

The COSSBA conference was also an amazing opportunity to learn from others!

I really enjoyed listening and learning from speaker Chuck Underwood on Generational Studies that can help us work better with colleagues and help us teach and learn among different generations. He shared his four truths and lots of research and examples to help us develop strategies when working with people from other generations. I am going to read his book, America’s Generations in the Workplace, Marketplace, and Living Room! The focus is learning people’s values and how they make decisions. Good stuff. You can see my sketch note of his presentation over on my Instagram post about the conference. (I shared the animated sketch notes out via Twitter during the conference, and I was propositioned by a representative of a corporation at the conference to sketch note their upcoming conference. Hmmmm.)

I also enjoyed Amy Blankson’s presentation on Fearless Positivity. She addressed the misuse and tackled the accurate definition of ‘toxic positivity.’ (In short ‘toxic positivity’ is malicious in intent or woefully unempathetic. It is not the accidental byproduct of someone trying to do well and help others.) I really liked her research supporting that positivity leads to greater success for individuals, families, organizations and, well… anyone! Positivity even makes you live longer. I am adding her book, The Future of Happiness, to my reading list.

I also learned a great deal from breakout sessions on a variety of initiatives schools across the country are implementing. It is great to hear about the most innovative implementations from schools across America. I am leaving very inspired and with lots of ideas to share with my colleagues.

Even though we were in doors a lot, it was great to experience some nice weather too. Always a challenge to be away from family, especially during spring break, but we are passionate about teaching and learning.

I am blessed and thankful for opportunities to learn and to speak and share!

Prioritize this takeaway: I believe every single person in education has something awesome to share with others at a conference or on a podcast, or a blog, and I think they should be doing it! If not outside their organization, then in it. We are better when we get together, share and collaborate! Education is not going to accidentally improve; education gets better when better ideas are shared, prioritized, and executed. I hope this post inspires YOU to share at a conference the great things going on in your school or organization!

Always forward,

Kelly

Don’t Just Talk About Leadership, Teach It

Recent Speaking Event, Two Books to Recommend, and a Shout-Out to Colleagues and Student-Leaders!

This past week, I had the privilege and honor to be one of the speakers at the Sandusky Bay Conference Leadership Summit for Youth Leaders, along with my superintendent, Pat Adkins, and other experts from our region. We led sessions to help student-leaders understand that leadership is more than a title, taught them what sportsmanship really is, and offered alternatives and direction when adversity arrives.

The student-leaders were amazing! We really need to give young adults more praise and opportunity. I was incredibly impressed with their attentiveness, appreciation, ideas, and leadership. The students shared some poignant challenges: too much drama in their sport, unruly fans, unsupportive family, poor role models and more! They also shared solutions and ideas that made me leave with great hope that we are in good hands with these future leaders.

Too often, I believe, parents, teachers, coaches, advisors, and community leaders have expectations from students on leadership but rarely take the time to teach and train them on ways to deliver. Everybody values leadership, but they are hoping, or expecting, someone else to take care of it. That’s why I think a day like this Sandusky Bay Conference Leadership Summit for Youth Leaders is so important. The leaders of the SBC, like our awesome Athletic Director, Rick Dominick, believe leadership and sportsmanship are important enough to schedule it, plan it, and offer it to schools in our region. Kudos to all who accepted and participated. I believe over 400 students attended. The students now have a lot of great leadership tools to take back to their teams and district to not only apply in their lives, but to teach other.

What a great day! I wish that I could have attended the other sessions as well and learned from the other speakers.

One of the reasons I wrote my first book, Along Came a Leader, Click to Read More

was that I did not believe my students and new teachers and leaders were exposed to the type of leadership training I had as a youth. I collected all that was taught to me and put it in one place and made it easy to understand. I’m proud to see school districts like Fairview Heights and many others using my book as their district book study. I will be doing a video Q&A with them next month.

Each October I have the privilege to travel to schools and speak to students about leadership during October’s National Bullying Prevention Month, and some other events throughout the year. It is an honor to inspire and educate youth in the six tenets of leadership and give them the tools they yearn for and need.

Our district has provided many opportunities for leadership training. It starts as early as primary grades and is reinforced all the way through graduation. Our staff also participates and leads amazing leadership learning opportunities. I am proud that we make it a priority and schedule it. Still this is something we are growing to continually improve.

We can never learn enough about leadership, and it is always paramount that we work hard to actually apply what we learn. What we model becomes the standard. What we allow, we encourage to grow and spread. What we adjust and correct is admired most, because it is such a difficult thing to admit you made a mistake and correct it, but it is what you will be most admired for doing; this practice is so rare.

I am currently reading an excellent book on leadership a colleague, Joe Miller, loaned me, titled Trust and Inspire by Stephen M. R. Covey. I’m not very far into it, but I love what I am learning and working hard to put to use.

My point is this: While everyone may not share a leadership title, everyone leads. Leadership training is important for everyone at any age, and it must me prioritized and scheduled. The best leadership lessons are the ones put into action and modeled for others. Admitting and correcting our mistakes in leadership are not moments of shame, but rather moments of admiration.

Always forward,

Kelly

3 Ways to Get Better Mileage Out of Your Attitude

Your attitude is important, a choice, and malleable.

Attitude is king.

There are thousands of areas in your life in which you could improve, but I firmly believe the most important area everyone must focus on first is their attitude. In fact, I believe that you could master all of the other qualities, yet maintain a bad attitude and you will fail as a leader and at life. Your attitude is that important!

Conversely, I believe, you could fail at all of the other qualities, yet keep a great attitude, and you will rise to levels of success.

Attitude is king.

You already possess an attitude. How is it working for you? Are you self aware? Are you able to take a step back and reflect on whether your attitude is helping you or hindering you?

Here are three ways to get more mileage out of your attitude just like a car: Click to Read More

Aerodynamics: The cars with the best mileage have great aerodynamics. They cut through friction and forces working against them. Your job: Cut through the drama. Each day you most likely run into the same people complaining about the same things. Don’t let it slow you down. Identify people, shows, things, apps, activities, that are creating negativity and affecting your attitude. Get aerodynamic and let this negativity pass by you, around you. Don’t bite into the temptation of responding or participating.
Decrease Mass: Cars that get rid of extra weight get better mileage. Your job: You’ve got some crap you are carrying around and complaining about. Let it go. Drop it. If you can take action toward improving something, then do it, if not, leave it till you can. Quit complaining about it and work on an area in your life that you do have control of and focus on that.
Additives and Pollutants: Some autos put additives to increase their mileage, and some tanks get polluted with something that doesn’t belong that both drastically impact mileage. Your job: What can you add to your life that would improve your attitude? Could it be sleep, exercise, dietary needs, some fun or something else? What pollutants are clouding and negatively impacting your attitude? Bad food? Bad thoughts? Bad habits?

I am blessed to have the opportunity to present to organizations throughout the year on leadership. About thirty percent of what I share comes from my book on leadership, Along Came a Leader: A Personal and Professional Guide to Leadership. In the book, you learn the how to apply the six primary tenets of leadership to become a successful leader in your home, community and organization. The very first chapter in the book is titled, you guessed it, Attitude.

Attitude is something that I must work on every day just like everyone else. Sometimes I am the encourager helping others with their attitude and sometimes I have friends and coworkers helping me with mine. My best days of course are the days when my attitude is best, my worst days… you guessed it.

Attitude is a choice. We don’t always believe that to be true, but it is. Children and adults alike want to blame their environment, circumstances and others for their attitude, but that simply isn’t the way it works. I have met people with terminal illness literally months left in their life shine like a golden beacon of positivity, and I have seen another blessed beyond belief allow a bad driver on the highway ruin their day, or an insult from superior ruin their career. It’s amazing.

I hope I’ve inspired you to reflect on your own attitude and acknowledge that attitude is important, our choice, and malleable.

Share this post with a colleague or friend if you think it worthy and check out chapter one of my book, Along Came a Leader for more on my thoughts on attitude.

My next illustrated, children’s book is focused entirely on attitude.

Always forward,

Kelly

Eleven Life-Changing Hacks Learned from Blockbuster Movies

Number 2 Will Impact Your Life immediately.

I love movies, and I am dedicated to learning ways to improve my life. I had some fun in this post examining how elements of blockbuster movies may be applied to our lives for our own personal betterment and everyone around us.

Movie studios spend ten-of-millions of dollars to deliver an out-of-this-world experience for their audiences. They know the secrets to design an experience like no other, that gets the most out of the time you are in your seat. Well, many of those secret tricks can be applied to our lives to help us design a more dynamic life and improve each day.

Here are eleven life-changing hacks I learned from blockbuster movies to design a more dynamic life: Click to Read More

Soundtracks: Blockbuster movies have powerful musical scores that make the movie absolutely incredible. The musical scores enhance the action, and every mood presented in the movie. Your job: You probably have a workout playlist on your phone, but do you have playlists for other times of the day and week? You can create playlists for doing deep work, relaxing, commuting, romantic times, mindfulness, and everything else. Building a soundtrack for your life is a great hack. Make a dull chore 1000x better with a good soundtrack.
The Credits: Every blockbuster I have seen has a LOT of credits at the start and at the end of the film. They give credit to everyone! Your job: Make gratitude the first and last thing you do each day, week, and month. People who show gratitude are happier and live better lives. Don’t take credit, but rather, give it.
Take 2: The best actors in the world rarely get it right the first time. They are going to keep filming UNTIL they get it right. Your job: Don’t quit. Keep trying. Don’t stop UNTIL you get it right.
Camera Angles: It’s always amazing to see a new camera angle being used in a movie. It gives us a unique way to see the action and changes the story. A movie would be boring if it were shot entirely from one camera angle. Yawn! Your job: Start looking at life from multiple perspectives. Look at problems as opportunities. How would someone else see what I am looking at? How would I have seen this same situation five years ago? Five years from now?
A Great Script: Blockbusters start off with an amazing plan called a script. It tells people what to say and everyone what to design. The script leads them through challenges and to the happy ending. Your job: I have seen people spend more time on a grocery list than a plan for their life. Write the script for your life in a journal. You can make changes, but you have to have a plan. Write down how you are going to overcome obstacles what you want to happen, locations, co-stars and all the things you want to experience. Get after it.
Director: Blockbuster movies have someone in charge who is making big, bold decisions. The director assembles the best and comes up with a plan and sees it through. Your job: Either be the director of your life or find a co-director to help you out. Quit standing on the sidelines and waiting. Make some big, bold decisions and get awesome stuff accomplished, or find someone who will.
Trailers: Blockbuster movies do an amazing job of capturing everything great about the movie and replaying it in front of people again and again. They never show the boring or bad parts of the movie. They capture and enhance all that is good. Your job: Quit beating yourself and replaying your mistakes. Make a mental highlight reel of what is working. Get yourself excited about life and take on the next day with gusto.
Sequels: When a movie becomes a blockbuster we can pretty much rest assured someone, at sometime is going to make a sequel or something similar. Your job: Find out what is working for you and repeat it. Find out what’s not and stop it.
Costars: Few blockbusters center around one actor. Your job: Who are your costars in life? Need some? Find them. Lean on them.
Turning Point: No matter how intense the action, nor how much trouble our protagonist gets into, we know, sweaty hands aside, that there WILL BE a turning point and things will start to improve. Your job: The same is true in life. As long as we keep working at it, things are going to get better. Hang in there. The movie isn’t over. The turning point is around the next corner or two.
Crew: Amazing blockbuster movies are not made by a single person, nor a single crew of people. In fact, there are a multitude of teams working on single aspects of the movie. Your job: Figure out what people you need in your life to help you deliver the results you want. Do you need a trainer, nutritionist, counselor, special effects, a personal assistant, or someone to mow your yard to give you one more hour in the week? Figure out how to find them, hire them, and put them to work. Your life will become a blockbuster.

I hope these eleven hacks I learned from blockbuster movies really do help you design and live a more dynamic life. Which one is your favorite? Do you have one you’d add? Let me know in the comments.

I just finished reading James Clear’s Atomic Habits. I am thinking of reading Andy Weir’s book Artemis next. I am looking forward to his book Project Hail Mary being made into a movie, if anyone has connections. It was a great read and one of my all-time favorite sci-fi reads.

Always forward,

Kelly

3 Things You Own That Are Keeping You From What You Want

We own a lot of stuff.

I recently looked at a house for sale, and two thoughts immediately came to my mind, “Wow! These people own a lot of stuff. If we were to buy this house, how would they ever pack it all up?” The second was, “My family sure owns a lot of stuff, how would we ever pack it all up?”

Among all of the physical trinkets, items, and perhaps even necessities in our life, there are other ‘things’ we own that we are not even aware of that have a negative impact. They aren’t packed in a box or sitting on a shelf. We carry them with us everywhere we go. Becoming aware of the ownership of these things and taking small steps to remove them will go a long way in our own personal success and happiness, as well as the happiness and success of all the people around us.

There are three things that you own that are keeping you from everything that you want.

That’s a pretty bold statement, but it’s true, and one of them is a goat. Yep, a goat.

I’m as guilty as the next person. Owning these three things have prevented me from the relationships I want, the opportunities I want, and even the things I want in life.

Here are the three things you own that are keeping you from what you want, and what you can do about it: Click to Read More

You Own a Goat: “No, I don’t,” you say, but you do. You own a goat that is so mischievous and stubborn that it is almost singlehandedly messing up every area that you want to see improvement. The goat I am talking about isn’t the rascally mammal we see on farms but the far worse scapegoat that we create in our minds. We construct a scapegoat, a person, event or circumstance, in our life that we blame for the wrongdoings, mistakes, or faults that we experience. Our scapegoat keeps us from submitting the application, working out, staying on a diet, finishing a product, applying for that job. You blame your dad, a teacher, a classmate, a childhood experience, lack of equipment, school, bank account, or a presumed physical impediment. You need to accept and understand that there is NO person, event or circumstance keeping you from what you want. You can easily find a multitude of examples in books, on the web, or on streaming services to counter any scapegoat you put forth. You make the choices. You are in control. No matter your previous or current situation, you can succeed. Quit creating scapegoats. Take action.
You Own a ‘Tude: Short for attitude, your ‘tude is keeping you from what you want. You need to create the self awareness of how others see you, your facial and body expression, your tone, your words, your actions, and overall presence. People don’t want to spend time with someone with a ‘tude whether it be a job or a relationship. Your ‘tude becomes your mindset and dictates how you approach challenges and goals. Your ‘tude is what attracts all of the things you want in this life. Be self aware of you current ‘tude and start adjusting it to create it to be an asset rather than a liability.
You Own 59 Minutes: I have had some incredibly busy days, and I know you have too. There may even have been a rare circumstance when I really did not have an hour to myself, but never two in a row. No matter what your day is like, I know that you can reserve and schedule an hour of it to do these four things: exercise, read, work on your passion project, and be still. What percentage you spend on each is up to you, but I know you would find great value in 30 minutes of exercise, ten minutes to read, fifteen minutes on a passion project, and four minutes of stillness. That’s 59 minutes. In a week’s time you would have worked out for three and half hours, read for over an hour, spent nearly two hours building a skill or creating something in an area of passion, and nearly half an hour of stillness, reflecting and giving gratitude. These primary habits will change our lives. Spend some time each day improving yourself.

My next read is Atomic Habits by James Clear. I know it will help me in all of these areas. You should check out his newsletter too!

I need to quit blaming others, situations and creating excuses and rather own that the only thing keeping me from what I want is myself.

I constantly need to improve my attitude. I’m often complimented for being a nice guy and my positivity, but sometimes the thoughts going through my head hinder me and eventually surface and create an awkward experience. We all need to work on our attitudes. Attitudes are king.

How I manage my time is an area for continuous improvement. I need to prioritize. I need to focus more on doing, than planning.

These are areas I am working on, and I thought they would be worth sharing with you. In the comments below I hope you will share with me something you believe we own that is keeping us from becoming the best version of ourselves. (You know I wanted to put smartphone in here. Just think how much time we waste on these devices!)

(Note: My next read is Atomic Habits by James Clear. I know this book will help me in all of these areas. You should check out his newsletter too!)

Always forward,

Kelly
