School is in session for many of us. Now that we have staff in place and classrooms assigned, we are ready to face the always-new experiences that greet us with the diversity of personalities we will encounter on a daily basis. Whether it is our interactions with students or with adults, we are committed to the flexible and positive mindset that others are willing and able to grow. We exhibit that positive intent through our “being”, which shows up in our body language and our verbal language. Of course, we want those to match, so we decide over and over again how we want to show up and relate with others—those we are most eager to be with and those that test our limits of positivity. We also reflect on our interactions as we, ourselves are learners and continually grow in our coach leader mindset and identity.
