Say It Skillfully® is a show that helps you to benefit from Molly Tschang's expert guidance on the best possible ways to speak your mind at work in a positive and productive manner. In Episode 128, Molly is joined by Kris Maynard, who shares his journey from humble beginnings to Executive Chairman of 100% employee-owned Essential Ingredients! Hear the ins and outs of Kris' story, accumulating massive student loan debts, working a post-college nighttime gig for extremely low pay, and eventually co-founding Essential Ingredients: a company that partners with consumer brand companies and contract manufacturers to provide quality personal and home care ingredients. Kris shares from a young age his penchant for risk-taking, including spending three months in Russia (11:35) and losing his job for planning to start a new company. Tune in for an inside look at the start of Essential Ingredients, and how Kris learned from early struggles, to find his true north and live his values, when this wasn't necessarily the way things worked. Don't miss the many lessons Kris learned along the way, including what it was like to “wear many hats” (hello,... forklift driver!) as a co-founder and how his early Board of Directors helped them focus. He was quick to figure out surrounding himself with talented people smarter than him was a winning strategy (18:45). Also, Kris explains how he built a successful business with a purpose of being a blessing to others, rather than maximizing profitability, with the ultimate aim of lasting 100 years. He also reveals a (now humorous) story about a time when he lost his level head in a heated moment where a distributor betrayed his trust (22:00)! Here's an opportunity to reflect on your own values and how you put people first. Learn from how Kris led himself to stay true to himself and succeed on his terms. He inspires others to know no boundaries and to commit to taking action so that all can be safe, seen and heard.

Myšlenky jsou váš vnitřní soundtrack. A pokud je neovládáte, ovládají ony vás. Hudba totiž nepřestane hrát. Budete jen poslouchat nahrávky, které vás potáhnou dolů místo nahoru. Je na čase s tím něco udělat. Protože když si sami zvolíte nahrávky, kterým budete naslouchat, dokážete cokoliv, co si umanete. Uvědomte si pravou podstatu svých myšlenek – jsou vaším osobním playlistem, který vás provází celý život. Zjistěte, jak z přílišného přemýšlení udělat mocný nástroj. ovládněte své myšlenky zbavte se negativních vnitřních monologů, které vám jen vysávají energii vytvořte si symboly a tlumicí techniky obraťte pokažené nahrávky ve svůj prospěch udělejte víc práce díky správným nahrávkám namixujte si ten pravý osobní playlist! „To, že myšlenky mají kruciální vliv na naše životy, jak v tom negativním, tak pozitivním slova smyslu, tušili už praotcové a pramatky psychologie. Ne nadarmo to první, co rozebíráme se svými klienty na začátku terapie, je bludný kruh. Aneb to, jak naše myšlenky vyvolávají emoce, následně tělesnou reakci a ve finále to, jak se chováme. Kniha Jona Acuffa za přispění neurovědy ukazuje, jak s některými myšlenkami můžeme pracovat a dokonce je využít v náš prospěch. Stačí jen změnit některé písničky z našeho kognitivního (myšlenkového) soundtracku. Jděte do toho!“ — H:o)nza Vojtko, psychoterapeut, párový terapeut a lektor, autor knihy Vztahy a mýty „Nedá se spočítat, kolikrát jsem manažerům vytkl, že si rozhodování příliš komplikují. Přílišné přemýšlení je přirozeným nepřítelem soustředění, a tak jsem rád, že Jon Acuff přišel se svěžím pohledem na toto zásadní téma.“ — Michael Hyatt, autor bestsellerů Lídr s vizí, Zaměřte svou pozornost, Dvojitá výhra a Nejlepší rok vašeho života „Jste připraveni začít o sobě uvažovat jinak? Jon Acuff vám s tím pomůže. Jednoduchá, ale silná a velkorysá kniha, která vám utkví v paměti po zbytek života.“ — Seth Godin, autor knihy The Practice „Může věda uspořádat mejdan? Podle všeho ano: tato kniha je chytrý, praktický mejdan opírající se o výzkum. Zasmějete se, a až se bude četba chýlit ke konci, bude vám to líto. Mé představy o myšlení prošly velkou proměnou.“ — Kendra Adachi, autorka bestselleru The Lazy Genius Way „Přemýšlíte až přespříliš? Pokud nedokážete odpovědět bez přemýšlení, nezapomeňte si pořídit Jonovu novou knihu.“ — Jim Gaffigan, bavič a autor knihy Food: A Love Story „Jon Acuff vyhmátl skrytou překážku k úspěchu a předestřel plán, jak ji překonat. Neváhejte a pořiďte si tuto praktickou, zábavnou knihu a k ní zápisník, abyste si mohli dělat poznámky.“ — Daniel H. Pink, autor bestsellerů Kdy, Drive a Prodávat je lidské „Skvělá obálka, skvělý obsah, parádní naděje! Pokud jste si někdy položili otázku, zda člověk může změnit způsob uvažování, a radikálně tak proměnit svůj život, přečtěte si Soundtrack v hlavě. Doufám, že po této knize sáhnou všichni, které znám.“ — Bob Goff, právník, filantrop a autor bestselleru Láska konající „Vaše myšlenky jsou mocné. O tuto zásadu jsem se opíral desítky let, které jsem strávil na vodě. Je skvělé, že Jon Acuff se se svou novou knihou do tohoto tématu důkladně ponořil.“ — Laird Hamilton, surfař, inovátor a spoluzakladatel společnosti Laird SuperFood „Přílišné přemýšlení je jedním z přirozených nepřátel esencialismu. Je povzbudivé, že Jon se se svou novou knihou přidává do řad bojovníků za to, na čem záleží.“ — Greg McKeown, tvůrce populárního podcastu What's Essential a autor bestselleru Esencialismus „Každému zní v hlavě myšlenky, které mu berou elán. Nutí nás o všem intenzivně přemýšlet a brání nám v navazování skvělých vztahů a dosahování smělých cílů. Kniha Jona Acuffa nabízí jasnou mapu dovedností, jež naší mysli umožní generovat skutečně přelomová poselství, která dokážou změnit vše. Jon přišel s nevšední kombinací praktických tipů založených na vědě a přátelského, zábavného stylu. Přečtěte si tuto knihu a nebudete litovat.“ — John Townsend, PhD, autor úspěšné série Boundaries; zakladatel Townsendova institutu pro vůdcovství a poradenství a Townsendova programu vůdcovství „Z nejnovějšího díla Jona Acuffa mi spadla brada. Za knihou Soundtrack v hlavě, která je tím nejlepším, s čím autor dosud přišel (a to je co říci!), stojí kombinace přesvědčivých příběhů a důkladného výzkumu! Nejenže prokazuje, že mnozí z nás uvěřili chybným myšlenkám, ale navíc ukazuje reálná řešení, která z našeho myšlení udělají produktivního tahouna. Jon Acuff se narodil, aby napsal tuto knihu.“ — Andy Andrews, autor bestsellerů Cesta Davida Pondera, Ten, který si všímal a Just Jones „Nejlepší na této knize je to, že ji Jon Acuff napsal tak lehkým perem, že vám čtení vůbec nepřipadá jako dřina. Když ji ale dočtete, je z vás jiný, moudřejší, aktivnější člověk. Jako byste jednou zašli do posilovny a hned byli připraveni svléci se do plavek.“ — Brian Koppelman, scenárista a spolutvůrce filmů Dannyho parťáci a Hráči „Ve světě plném nástrah, negativity a rušivých faktorů napsal Jon Acuff revoluční knihu, která vám dopomůže k větší jasnosti, lepšímu soustředění a schopnosti popasovat se s výzvami. Fantastickým způsobem vysvětluje, jak z obřího problému jménem úporné přemýšlení vyrobíte nepřekonatelnou zbraň. Tuto knihu si nemůžete nechat ujít!“ — Jon Gordon, autor bestsellerů Síla pozitivního přístupu a The Garden „Celý život vedu negativní monology a hlavou se mi honí myšlenky, které mi vysávají energii, ale nikdy jsem nevěděl proč. Po přečtení této knihy nejenže sám sebe lépe chápu, ale vím také, jak tuto negativitu přeprogramovat. Když mne Jon požádal o doporučení této knihy, nemusel jsem o tom příliš přemýšlet.“ — Chris Guillebeau, autor knih The Money Tree a Startup za pakatel Název: Soundtrack v hlavě Autor: Jon Acuff Překlad: Jana Zajícová Interpret audioknihy: Jiří Miroslav Valůšek Délka audioknihy: 6:18 h Počet stránek knihy: 244 Vazba knihy: Brožovaná vazba Vydavatelství: Audiolibrix Audioknihu Soundtrack v hlavě si můžete koupit v nejlepším obchodě s audioknihami Audiolibrix.

I've been thinking about what is really essential. Like, if I just chose ONE thing and put all my effort and attention there, what would be the ONE thing? Identity and purpose for moms.  I know that sounds like two things, but I explain how it's really one thing in the episode. And what are the obstacles that prevent us from knowing our identity and purpose? Or if we know it, from living it? Fear, doubt and confusion.  These are both spiritual obstacles and emotional obstacles.  I have some theories as to the antidotes, which I also discuss in the episode. But basically- I'll reiterate what is in the intro: when you know who you are, you can be the best you at what you do. Mentioned in this episode: Greg McKeown Henry B. Eyring Bonnie Cordon Julie B.

"There are two kinds of people in the world - people who are burned out, and people who know they are burned out." - Greg McKeown There is an epidemic of exhaustion and burnout in not only Hollywood but globally across countless industries. The culture of overwork and exploitation specifically in the entertainment industry is beyond toxic at this point, and something needs to change. My theory is that many of the people at the top in Hollywood did not get there because they are always the best at what they do or because they are great leaders. I believe a lot of those who dictate how the industry works got where they are today because they have simply been willing to endure the most abuse, and they are the ones willing to maintain the status quo - i.e., saving money at the expense of saving lives. “The Great Resignation” is evidence that people are fed up with the status quo. The old model of “work longer and harder” is not a tenable model anymore. There are no more hours left in the day to work harder, therefore finding a way to work smarter is the only solution left. Luckily, there is a new model already out there, and my guest today, best selling author Greg McKeown, is here to tell us all about how to live not only an essential but also an effortless life. Greg is a return guest who made his first appearance on the show to talk about his book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less (which I thought so highly of I included it as core curriculum in my Focus Yourself program). His latest book, Effortless: Make it Easier to do What Matters Most, picks up where Essentialism left off. After making his own life "essential" and achieving great success from his book, Greg found that ironically he could no longer even fit just the essential things in his life anymore. He was doing all the right things, but he was doing them the wrong way. And in today's conversation Greg and I discuss how we all can apply his Effortless model to both make our lives easier while also having a positive effect on our work culture as a whole.

How the success of Essentialism led him to a new problem and his new book. How to apply the concept of the three rocks to you life. Why the old way of thinking that working harder is what will get you success is not sustainable anymore. KEY TAKEAWAY:  Ask yourself "how am I making this harder than I need to?" Greg reveals his true feelings and best insights of the culture of Hollywood based on his experience working in a wide variety of industries. Why Greg believes competition against Hollywood is a good thing. How the pandemic has led to more burnout than ever before. Greg's mindset for adapting to the pandemic and how it led to greater success in his career. The pandemic created an experience of involuntary essentialism for many people. An illustration of how the effortless way led to greater success in a race to the South Pole. The importance of knowing your lower bounds and upper bounds of any particular task or endeavor. How I changed my ANW workout routine to make it more effortless and the results I achieved from it. Greg explains the difference between running hard and running fast. Why we should reject the motto: No pain. No gain. How gratitude helped Greg make dealing with his daughter's illness easier. One simple rule for practicing gratitude. The advice he received that inspired the idea of effortless.

This might sound ominous but…we're drowning in choices. The internet and its forever-multiplying avenues of information bombards everyone around the world with an abundance (or an avalanche) of choice all of the time. So how do we boil down distractions into key essentials that give our lives meaning? That actually align with what we want? How do we get more of that? In this episode, we speak with Greg McKeown, whose bestselling books Essentialism and Effortless have helped us think about strategy and intentionality in our own work. We talk to Greg about the global state of burnout; about tapping into what we want—and what we don't want; and about how systems need to get smarter on essentialism.

EPISODE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION: Today Stephen interviews Greg Mckeown. Greg is an author, public speaker, and leadership and business strategist. After earning his MBA from Stanford Business School, McKeown worked d for Heidrick & Struggles' Global Leadership Practice. He then went on to form McKeown, Inc., his eponymous company, a leadership and strategy design agency based in California. According to the New Yorker, his strategies often revolve around minimalism. In 2012, The World Economic Forum inducted McKeown into the Forum of Young Global Leaders. McKeown is the author of Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less and co-author (with Liz Wiseman) of the Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter. Both are New York Times bestsellers. His book Essentialism. is a business and self-leadership book that discusses how to figure out what is essential, how to eliminate what's nonessential, and how to make it as effortless as possible to do what really matters. It includes concepts such as the "90 percent rule", which encourages individuals to pay closer attention to those items they have a "more than ninety percent interest in" and to pay less attention to other aspects of life. His work also focuses on the importance of saying "no" in other situations as well. Part of his recommendation to help with this is a method of journaling by only recording days with a few sentences rather than longer explanations. His book Effortless: Make It Easy to Do What Matters is being published in 2021. He is also a blogger for the Harvard Business Review and LinkedIn's Influencers Group. McKeown speaks on how to live and lead as an Essentialist. NEXT STEPS MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO: 1. Check out his podcast. 2. Get the book Effortless: Make It Easy to Do What Matters. 3.

But what happens when you eat a donut? Your pancreas releases insulin, which tells your body there is plenty of energy so now is the time to store fat. But here's the thing. It doesn't matter whether you eat a donut or drink a glass of orange juice. Low-fiber processed carbohydrates from crackers to chips to cookies to juice all have a similar effect on blood sugar. When you take in a lot of carbs too quickly — without much fiber or fat to slow down absorption — you could experience what we call a “sugar crash,” which leads to low energy, brain fog, and weight gain. And due to the addictive nature of sugar and carbs, once your body brings your blood sugar levels back down, that's when the cravings kick in! And if you give in to those cravings, it starts the cycle all over again. So I hope you can see how important it is to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. The question is, how do you do it? Well, one way is to reduce your intake of processed carbohydrates and make sure you eat fat, protein, fiber, and greens at most meals. But no one is perfect. We all cheat sometimes. So it just makes sense to have a way to maintain healthy blood sugar day in, day out, even if you have an “off” day. That's why I recommend a product called Blood Sugar Breakthrough by BiOptimizers. This easy to take supplement is the result of numerous tests to find the absolute best formula for maintaining healthy blood sugar. In fact, BiOptimizers went through 5 different formulations before landing on this one. Blood Sugar Breakthrough works to safely lower blood sugar after meals so that you can maintain a healthy weight and redirect carbs to your muscles where they can be burned for energy. This means you'll avoid the worst effects of high blood sugar — like weight gain — while enjoying more stable energy, mental clarity, and fewer cravings.

Where we will break out of the mundane and routine, ordinary biases and ideas about running a dental practice and propel you and your practice into profit! We'll give you systems and strategies to create a successful practice along with the freedom to live your most powerful life.   Today we talk about basic dental hygiene and why you'll see so many cancellations. Hygiene is such a regular practice that many clients don't see it as a necessity. So let's ‘get rid of the pyramid and go with the great constellation of all that is needed.'   Patient hygiene visits are fabulous to have deep conversations with patients to find out what they want and how we can help them achieve their goals. Although hygiene in and of itself won't distinguish your dental practice from your competitor's business, what you do with that time can place you above your competition.   Listen in to find out why you need to ensure your patients understand what they want and how they can reach their goals. Also, learn when you can introduce a deeper conversation in your hygiene appointment and find out why it's critical to build relationships and ask essential questions of your patients.   Show Notes [02:22] Why patients don't see hygiene as a necessity in dentistry. [03:20] Look at patient hygiene as a time to have deep conversations with your clients. [05:30] How you can make the biggest difference in your dental practice today. [10:46] Essentialism: how much does the patient understand about what they want? [13:30] What point in the hygiene conversation you can introduce a conversation.

In today's episode of DailyG, Gabe breaks down how the things that really matter in life may not be clear and easy to notice. The pandemic taught me a lot about what actually matters.

Di episode ini saya membahas tentang minimalism tapi lebih ke aspek filosofisnya. Dari buku-nya Fumio Sasaki "Goodbye Things: The New Japanese Minnimalism," saya belajar bahwa minimalisme bukan soal seberapa sedikit barang yang kita punya, tapi bagaimana menciptakan (dan memelihara) "awareness" untuk bisa peka dalam menentukan mana yang esensial dan mana yang ga penting. Dan lalu menjadi selektif dalam memfokuskan energi ke hal-hal yang esensial saja. Sederhana tapi dalem :-) (Music by JuliusH from Pixabay)

Episode 5: What's Essential Welcome to 5 “What's Essential. I'm Sissy Siero your curator, your host for an audio story- wheel that's stopping for a brief moment to check in with how we're doing. We'll hear stories about shifting priorities to find the what's essential right now. Doing, having, perhaps being less, but better; a different gauge of time and energy spent. Also balancing personal relationships and purpose - not just how we work, where we live, and why we do what we do, but teasing, out of the tangle, the new essential - a closer look into the origins of patterns, and habitual thinking and life choices. Permission and room for the voice of innate, essential wisdom to have it's say. Cracking open secret vaults, and daring to ask uncomfortable questions- how staying with them actually gifts us with a broader capacity for more grace, love, and confidence. The chance to lean into who we are now, and becoming. What a strange buffet this moment in our collective lives. The pandemic has been slowly deleting the noise obscuring, and distorting, the music I'd been trying to dance [to] my life to for years. First we'll hear from Meme – what became essential in her life during the pandemic and into the uncertainty of now… ==================================================== Next up a conversation with Melissa Grogran - a Voice and Movement Expert - she's worked with yogis, Somatic Therapists, yoga and voice teachers, and business professionals - most notably as the Dialect Coach for the AMC series The Son, starring Pierce Brosnan. ============================= We'll be right back with more of episode 5 after this… Follow us on Instagram, and Facebook, at #LoveinthetimeofCOVID-19podcast, or at sissysierosvoiceatx, to get the latest episodes. You can also find us on my website - sissysiero.com, on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your favorite podcasts. ==================================================== Now a reflection on what's essential from acclaimed Austin-based Jazz musician Dan Redner. As an active Music director, pianist, songwriter, and educator, Dan's incredible, generous heart, talent and music continues to touch so many lives; especially during the pandemic. ===================================================== Next is an introspective share from a longtime friend and hotelier who speaks to us from her home in Uruguay. Throughout the pandemic, Laura has been a captive audience to nature's play of seasons – I've lived vicariously through her brilliant daily photo journal – curating nature, and the 2 and four legged fellow travelers - enshrined in verdant landscapes. daily bike treks in the surrounding area became the through-line of her life in the off season. Opening the hotel back up brings surprising questions and insights…Here's Laura: ===================================================== I wish to thank my listeners, and story-tellers. I hope this episode inspires you to become a contributor on this podcast. Send your voice, your story because it matters, and you need to be heard. This podcast moves in my life as a constant challenge to go deeper, look more closely – Episode 5's theme, in particular, has sent me careening into more questions than ever. It started with the question: “Does it matter?” Does my work matter to anyone other than me, and a few close people. Is what I do and how I do it Essential? What's my creative work's tangible value? I know every artist has these seasons of doubt, but…. this is different. The next part of this wave of painful questions came when I began reading : “So you want to talk about Race” by Ieoma Oluo. It's demanding that I pay a deeper kind of attention; turn toward and into the ache of uncomfortable, and sometimes painful new questions, new spaces. If I haven't been consciously part of the solution, haven't I been unconsciously part of the problem? That has to be true, and it's awful.

In this time, we should all stepping back and asking ourselves "What's essential anyway?". Join us for this installment of The MrsRev Podcast as Pastor Joie teaches on how to make this time work in your favor, by not getting caught up in the "non-essentials" of life!

What's Essential Anyways? Father Mark describes how the locked church doors are an image for modern man casting God as non-essential. When God is viewed as non-essential, sadness, and despair reign. In the Gospel today, the two disciples find themselves saddened before Jesus restores their hope. Father Mark gives two challenges to share the gospel to those who are searching for answers in this time of the pandemic. For further reflection, please see the following Scripture verses he points to: Acts 2:32 “God raised this Jesus; of this we/I am a witnesses” 1 Peter 3:15 "Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence;" Luke 24

In this inaugural podcast, Regie Routman, author of Literacy Essentials: Engagement, Excellence, and Equity for All Learners, shares her thoughts on what we need to focus on right now during these difficult times. We talk about poetry, about addressing the unique needs of everyone, and how we can embrace “Good is good enough.” Important Links (available on original site only):TranscriptPurchase Regie’s latest bookRegie’s poetry videos: Nurturing Writers in Uncertain TimesRegie’s writing project: A Notebook for YouTranscriptMatt: Thanks Regie for joining me today and this conversation about what's essential right now in education.Regie: Thank you for inviting me, I’m delighted to be here.Matt: This is Regie Routman, author of many texts on literacy and leadership most notably, most recently Literacy Essentials: Engagement, Excellence, and Equity for All Learners. This was a book that we did on the blog as a book study two years ago, and this is the inaugural podcast episode and I couldn't think of a better person to have here then Regie. Regie: Very kind, thank you.Matt: Just a little bit of background: I came into the elementary principal position in 2011. That school was a high poverty school that had already embraced Regie's work. The teachers had said, “You really need to come to the Literacy and Leadership Institute in Madison”. I resisted at first, saying that I have the schedule to get ready and I've got to get the budget square away first and I didn't buy in right away. Once I saw it in action and the teachers were the leaders in the professional development, I just said, “Wow”, this is real, kids are going to be engaged by this, it just makes sense. I went the next year and that's when I met you. So we've been colleagues, friends...I consider you a mentor and I'm very grateful to be able to talk to you today.Regie: Thank you Matt. I think we are equals, we’re educators, we're learning from each other. It has been a joy to watch you change, to watch your beliefs shift over the years in what you find essential now (and this is true for all of us) is not necessarily what we saw as essential years ago.Matt: That's very true. Now, what’s essential now is the big question related to your book Literacy Essentials and we want to take time for that: what you would tell someone in education what we need to focus on right now with everything going on with the pandemic. You have a cool project out now with Gail Boushey on poetry and nurturing writers in uncertain times. When I first saw this come out, Nurturing Writers in Uncertain Times, I thought, “Regie is going to choose poetry,” and you did! Why did you choose poetry?Regie: (laughter) It’s such a good question and really an easy question for me. These times are so different and full of so much fear and trauma for so many people. I was plagued, it kept me up at night, “What can I do to make things easier for families and students and teachers?” The equity issue pulled at my heart as it always does. I’m in Seattle and the public schools are giving out food and books for the neediest schools. I was concerned about kids that didn’t have computers, access to the same literacy advantages as other kids, so I came up with the idea of donating notebooks to these same sites. You can find that at regieroutman.org along with my writing project with Gail Boushey. The idea was to get students pencil and paper, it’s still good technology and to get kids writing about things that matter to them during this time. In all the years that I’ve been teaching, I have found poetry to be the great equalizer. For kids that are struggling, that are having great difficulty with following the rules, they take to poetry like a duck to water. I am talking about starting in kindergarten. The other thing I love about it is, one of the biggest shifts and hardest shifts for people to make in education and the kind of work kids are being asked to do, this is not a time to worry about following the rules, to worry about, “Is their spelling correct? Are they using capital letters?” This is a time to celebrate, and I say that word meaningfully, to celebrate what kids can do and have them soar. Poetry does that. They don't have to write a lot, they don’t have to follow the rules, and it’s very enjoyable. What we’ve done in this video series is to take you through how you might do that at home, as a parent, a teacher, a family member, and everyone is successful, it’s comforting. It’s joyful. It’s freeing.Matt: I found myself engaged while watching, especially when you were writing the poem, “Dandelions”. You said “lowly weed in the world,” and I wrote that down. I wanted to tell you that it was such a cool line that you said, and then you incorporated those ideas with weed and flowers. You mention nurturing and not following the rules, and I think that can cause anxiety for any writer when trying to following the rules when you just want to get words down on paper. Poetry seems to allow for that, gives them an entry point into writing.Regie: And also because poems tend to be shorter, instead of, say, an essay. It can be just a few words. In the video series, I demonstrate my writing process. You can see me do it on the screen, the thinking and the revising, and what’s going on. Writing is hard, and the satisfaction you feel from writing is great. Kids get that. I also love it because you start with the whole. I see that shift that all teachers and leaders have to make for teaching and learning to become joyful and meaningful for all students. You start with a whole poem, a whole idea, I tell the story first, and everyone is successful, even kindergarten kids who may only know a couple of letters and sounds. So I love that. It’s so critical right now.Matt: You base that on something your noticing - dandelions - which gives every kid, that everyone can notice something. You picked out something as simple as dandelions, but you make it into this rich text. Regie: I was very careful. I wanted it to be a neutral topic. “What are you noticing today, or now, that you didn’t notice before?” and to model something positive. I’m noticing the natural world a lot more. We are inside, looking outside, and I am really looking at something as I take a short walk. This is what I call choice within structure. I’m modeling a poem about dandelions (which I’ve never noticed until now), and the message to kids and parents is, “What are you noticing?” They can take that same process and they choose the topic. What’s very important right now is something Larry Ferlazzo says on a wonderful video he’s done through Education Week, to just throw out the regular curriculum and to ask your kids what they are interested in. What do they want to learn and start there. Don’t worry about the skills in isolation. I think some of the things we need to be concerned about now are kindness, being kind to ourselves, to our kids and families we are working with, and making whatever we are doing with them relevant. Easy - this is not the time for complex projects. I think putting people first. In Literacy Essentials, in the engagement section, that is where we need to start. I have four parts there: developing trusting relationships, accelerating learners, creating a thriving learning environment, and teaching with purpose and authenticity. This is where we can start, with this home-school connection and what parents are doing with their kids at home. You’ve got to set up a culture in your home, in our virtual classrooms now that allow for that kind of trust and celebration and purpose. A lot of that is offering choices and being a really good listener. What is it that they need? Keeping close relationships with the kids and their families. It’s hard.  Matt: You mentioned the home-school connection. I am meeting with staff in weekly meetings; we’re making them optional. They are noticing that kids are not as engaged as much right now and I think people are feeling some sense of, getting worn out and not noticing what's going well. So I think that's just really an important point of involving the families and how to create that structure together and noticing what's going well. Regie: That’s really hard to do. I was noticing in a New York Times article recently on the front page that parents are having a very hard time teaching their kids at home. They didn’t know that teaching was so hard.Matt: For any family that has thought about homeschooling, they are getting a real experience right now. Although I feel for the families trying to juggle jobs and homes, or parents who are unemployed. They are dealing with unique stressors right now.Regie: This is a hard time for parents. I don't know if your teachers are doing this, or for that matter even for you to do, it would be great to just start each day or each lesson with a read-aloud. Even if you're teaching high school, to pick a book that allows you to talk about it and to jump off and write something about it to just start off with something relaxing. Kind of a beginning to the learning day. One of the books that I like is Be Kind. It is a picture book by Pat Zietlow Miller about kindness. It would take less than 5 minutes to read it and then I might ask the kids to reflect on what's a kind act that someone did for you or that you did for someone else. Let’s talk about that. Let’s write about that. If there's a way for you to do some demonstration writing in front of the kids, do that because that's really helpful too, the kind of modeling that you're expecting. Matt: What you did in the videos is such a cool example, I shared that with my staff yesterday, where you pulled up your whiteboard and you had a picture in picture. You were talking as you were writing, at the same time, and they can see the process of writing. You could see poetry kind of in action, the development of it. I think that's a simple shift that I think teachers could do in keeping things manageable enough for kids and for themselves. Regie: I think what's really important there is that there wasn't a lot of planning for me. I talked about the fact that writing is a recursive process that it's not linear. So when I was done with that, I was really done because I was revising it as I went along. I was re-reading it, I was rethinking, I was talking out loud, and I think it's important for kids to see our thinking. That thinking aloud and seeing our struggle that we go through, that it's not perfect, and that that's okay. Matt; Yeah, listening to kids, like you were saying, and having a conversation about what they're noticing and with kindness and even doing some shared demonstration. My wife, she teaches special education, and she was dictating a letter to a friend they haven’t seen in awhile since we've gone to remote learning. Doing it in front of him and putting up the whiteboard, there’s a lot of options that I think your video, as well as the conferring conversation with Gail, it was just a cool example that anyone can do tomorrow, today. Regie: I think so and that's really why I love poetry and I think it’s really a great way to start a lesson. In fact, I thought it was quite interesting that, in the New York Times which I read every day because I am from New York, the national desk now, when all the reporters get together and talk about what they are going to write about, they start by reading aloud a poem every day. And so I thought that’s just wonderful to read that poem, to get people in the mood, and relaxation, and the beauty of words, settling down, to soothe your soul before you have to do this hard work. I think that's such a great way to start a lesson. So the read aloud could be a poem and it could be a poem that you’ve written together, perhaps as a class. That’s easier in some places than others. I also like poetry writing because if you just have paper and pencil at home, you can do that, you can put together a poetry anthology by stapling papers together. It could be a writing record, it doesn’t have to be poems, a writing record of what you did during these uncertain and difficult times. I think the hardest thing is to keep the celebration and joy part of whatever it is you’re doing - as a principal, as leaders, as teachers, as kids, and how do you do that and bridge that digital divide. That is why I like poetry. The other thing I would say is I think this is hard to do but I would include in my lessons every once in a while, “Let's talk about gratitude, we’re all struggling, we’re tired of being indoors, but what are we grateful for?” Maybe writing a letter to somebody telling them how much you care about them. Or even, if you can do this, especially where not all the kids have computers or a hotspot, actually writing a letter to each of your students. At the elementary level, I think that's doable and enclosing a stamp and having them right back to you. I think that whole connection, we need to keep our kids and family socially and emotionally whole, which is so difficult to do and to put that before any mandated curriculum. Matt: I couldn’t agree more. That leads to what’s essential right now for educators. You’ve mentioned celebration and stopping and being grateful. I’ve tried to do that with team meetings, starting with what’s going well, or checking in. One teacher yesterday shared that a fox family had taken up residence on their property. She was sharing pictures and it brings in those positive experiences and what’s going well right now. You mentioned parent involvement. What else is essential right now for us in education? Regie: I think that those are the most essential things, that we do right now. Our social and emotional well-being, the strong connections with families and listening to where people are kind of at. Making sure that the curriculum allows some choice, asking kids what do you want to learn about right now and being adaptable. Not worrying so much about tests. I just read recently, which I thought was great, a professor at Stanford University who was, up until the last minute, was going to give a final to his students, decided it was just too much. Everybody was in an emotional state including him. So instead of a final, he had each of his students submit a photo of something from the natural world and that was the final. They were gorgeous, of sunsets and a bird or maybe just the way the light hit a tree, and they posted all of those photos for all students in the class to see and that was, I thought, just terrific. Anything we can do to help people feel successful. Sometimes it feels like the world is ending. We are going to come out of this eventually, but we want to help families and kids come out of this as whole as possible. And then finally Matt, and this might be a good place to end: Years ago when I was teaching and I would go into a school and the teachers were always, you know how we are, we have high expectations, that's great, but I never heard a teacher say “You don't have to do anymore. It’s fine as it is.” But it’s always, “Improve, improve, improve”. When I left one of the residencies, I had a teacher give me (I have it on my wall) this huge necklace that was handmade with paper. It says on it, “Good is good enough.” That was the message they took away which I was thrilled about. We are all trying to do the best we can. We need to slow down, breathe, find moments of joy, do the best we can, and accept that our families and student are doing the best they can. Good is good enough. So, I wish everybody peaceful days during these very hard times. Thank you Matt for this opportunity to talk with you. I appreciate our friendship and collegiality so much.Matt: “Good is good enough.” I am going to write that on the cover of my journal.Regie: I am going to send you a photo of that.
