The Secret to Starting 2024 Strong 🚀
 
 
Starting the Year with Intentional Energy

The new year often begins with a flurry of goals, resolutions, and packed schedules. But this year, let’s try something different. Instead of focusing on managing your time, let’s focus on managing your energy—because energy, not time, determines the quality of how you show up for your goals, relationships, and work.

Time is a finite resource, but energy is dynamic. You can expand, recharge, and sustain it with the right strategies. This shift in focus is the difference between feeling drained at the end of the day or finishing with purpose and fulfillment.


Why Energy Management Matters More Than Time Management

Time management teaches us to organize our days into neatly segmented blocks of productivity. While this helps us plan, it often ignores a crucial factor: we aren’t robots.

Our energy fluctuates throughout the day based on sleep, nutrition, emotions, and workload. Have you ever had hours blocked for a task but couldn’t focus because you felt drained? That’s where energy management comes in.

Energy management ensures you’re not just doing things but doing them well—engaged, focused, and effective. It’s not about how many hours you work but how much value and meaning you bring to those hours.

Many high-performing leaders believe that being “good” means being available, approachable, and ready to solve everyone else’s problems. But what if that belief is quietly draining your energy, dulling your impact, and costing your team t...
The Unspoken Hierarchy: Why Principals Still Feel Like Outsiders in Leadership Clusters
  HAPPY Sunday, Achiever! You're a principal. You’ve earned the title. But every time you enter a cluster meeting, there's a quiet undercurrent that says, “You’re not quite in.” Seniority. Decile. School size. Advisory board seats. These aren’t on the agenda—but they are the real conversation. This is social comparison theory in action.It’s why some speak freely while others shrink back.Why i...
