Emotional Agility is probably one of the trickiest skill sets to learn as you are busy juggling the demands of an intense school year. As we think about all that has happened over the past three years and ALL of the things we are working to handle effectively, the importance of emotional agility cannot be overlooked. Susan David, author, TedTX speaker, and co-founder of the Institute of Coaching (Harvard Medical School), is a leader in this field. Those of you participating as mentors/mentees in our AWSP Mentoring Program have been exposed to the School Leader Paradigm and how our personal and social intelligence positively/negatively impacts our ability to lead in the schoolhouse. I have found Susan David’s monthly newsletter to be an excellent way to get refocused on my own locus of control, and my ability to stay positively focused on what I can/cannot control. I am a work in progress (lol)…but I’d definitely encourage you to sign up for her newsletter and share with us what you think. Maybe this spring, you’ll engage and be better grounded when all the “things” are flying in your direction. You got this! Until next time…
