Episode 83: Make Sure That You Take Time To Celebrate These 6 Accomplishments
When I get home from an event at school, my wife always asks me the same question. “How did it go?”
I usually say the same thing. “It went really well!”
Then she always says the same thing. “Well, that is worth celebrating. You put in the same amount of work if the event goes well or if it is a disaster.”
This is such an important reminder for every private school leader. We are so busy putting out fires that we rarely pause when something goes really well. We are all about next, next, next, next………….
When we never stop to recognize, acknowledge, savor or celebrate any of the amazing things that happen at our schools, we are setting ourselves up for feeling unfulfilled, burnt out and discouraged.
On today’s episode of The Private School Leader Podcast, I am going to Make Sure That You Take Time To Celebrate These 6 Accomplishments.
Thank you for taking me along with you when you are walking the dog, driving to school or running errands. I appreciate you and what you are doing for the lucky kids and teachers at your school.
Thanks so much for listening and thanks for making a difference!

If you have gotten value from listening to the podcast, I would love to work with you 1-on-1. I would love to take my experience and help you to feel less overwhelmed and frustrated or help you have success if you are a brand new leader.

THRIVE Academy is a digital course that will help you get out of survival mode and get back to feeling energized at school. To learn more, go to www.theprivateschoolleader.com/thrive
