Cultivate a celebratory culture without having to be the cheerleader type. A culture team doesn’t exist without both faculty and student representatives. Importance of curiosity, compassion, and community in education. A framework that gives you the permission to be the kind of leader that you want to be.    “I want people to remember that you don't have to be in a moment of crisis to seek help, to get unstuck or to think again about the work that you do. If anybody out there is like me and has been resistant to help in the past, or feels like they might be burdening other people by asking for help, or just feels like they should have all the answers, I would encourage you to find ways to get yourself unstuck, to seek out that help. Because once you have the support that you need, the work you're going to be able to do for your schools and for your faculty and for your families and for your students is going to be immeasurable. You can do incredible things.” -Charles Hartney    Get the episode transcript here!   Charles’ Resources & Contact Info: The Park School of Buffalo Linkedin.     Read my latest book!
