Can we normalize conversation starter questions such as “What’s bringing you joy today?” or “What’s been making you smile lately?”
I am much more interested in those positive responses instead of the “How are you?” & the proverbial response of “Good.”
We thrive on connection!

Energy sources vs. energy sinks.
Learn to sense the difference. It can be tricky because both evoke internal arousal. Energy sources enable you to do your best work, live fully and contribute in meaningful ways. Energy sinks lead to the opposite. Tune up your (internal) sensors.

"MASLOW BEFORE BLOOM" simply means that basic human needs need to be addressed before learning can occur. If a student is hungry, tired, or scared—give them food, a nap, or a hug. It seems so simple. It is simple. It is also very effective.

a middle school teacher asked me for a prompt for an opinion presentation assignment. i suggested to ask the students: “what does the world need more of, why do we need it, and how do we get it?”
the winning answer was EMPATHY. we need it so we can listen to each other & put ourselves in each other’s shoes. we get it by asking deeper questions, listening more, and teaching it as a class in school.
