Connect… My #OneWord for 2016

Interestingly enough I have been absent from the world of blogging since this past June (2015) and so today I am writing to introduce my #OneWord for 2016 which is CONNECT. Today I am re-connecting with the blogging world. I have taken some time in focusing on other facets of my career and family. So as 2016 begins I am once again establishing communication via my blog.

In lieu of establishing a New Year’s Resolution (or resolutions) I am continuing with the practice of selecting One Word that will define my focus for the year.  Like I mentioned, CONNECT is my word for 2016. As a school administrator it is so very important to connect (personally and professionally) with my staff, students, parents, and greater community.

In our fast paced society, we often fail to see the many things that truly require our attention. At work we can get caught up on the “job” and fail to see the many important things that are around us and need our attention. By continuing my focus to CONNECT it is my desire to make sure I do not lose that focus by staying CONNECTed with each stakeholder community.
 
So I challenge you to move away from the resolutions and select that One Word that will define your focus, purpose, and destination for 2016. For more information, check out Jon Gordon’s website www.oneword.com



I look forward to hearing about your One Word for 2016 and how is shapes your work, life, and leisure time this year. Best wishes. Make it the #BestYearEver !

  2. Ted, you were one of my first true "connected educator friends". I've grown so much because of your generosity and from your positive example. Thanks for sharing who you are and helping me to define and shape my leadership practices.

    Welcome back...and Happy New Year!
