You can’t “build” culture, you have to “be” the culture.
Want a more competitive culture? Be more competitive.
Want a more disciplined culture? Be more disciplined.
Want a more encouraging culture? Be more encouraging.
Be what you want to see.

1. We suffer more in imagination than in reality
2. Associate only with people who improve you
3. The greatest remedy for anger is delay
4. Value your time more than your possessions
5. Death is not in the distant future. We are dying every day

Two of the great modern philosophers of coaching joined me for WOW78.
What an honour to get to sit with @Doug_Lemov and @_ToddBeane for over an hour and challenge notions of how we think about coaching.
I hope you enjoy the episode.

5. School culture(3): Routines: Creating micro-routines lets students know what is appropriate and empowers them to make better choices. Routines soon become habits which lead to calm, orderly and focused learning environments, increased learning time and successful outcomes.

A call to @BorisJohnson, to issue emergency visas for veterinary staff from @Nowzad - the team have supported British troops and have been advocates for animal welfare for many years. This puts them in great danger. @PenFarthing, founder of #Nowzad needs to get them to the UK.
