Listen to Session 2 of the Build to Last Workshop in today’s episode on The Schools of Excellence Podcast where Chanie walks you through theme days and time blocking to create a sustainable calendar as a school leader. How would you like to get an extra 90 minutes in your day, every single day? Many of the directors that I work with have created a warm and inviting culture, and think that closing their door to get things done goes against everything they've worked to build. On the other side of the spectrum, there are some directors that are slaves to their calendars - everything is penciled in so tight, there is barely any room to each lunch or even walk from one meeting to the next. They believe that without a tight structure and a solid plan, they won't be able to get everything done. Today’s training: I’m going to show you how to stay true to your core values while also creating a calendar that serves you. I talk about TIME BLOCKING How to create specific time in your day to focus on the activity that will actually move your school forward I talk about THEME DAYS - How to create an organized principle for how your day operates If you want to build an inviting culture that allows you to actually come home for dinner on time, get into your classrooms, and take time off without checking in on school, this is exactly what I teach directors and owners to do inside of the Director’s Inner Circle and Owners HQ memberships.

Listen to Session 1 of the Build to Last Workshop in today’s episode on The Schools of Excellence Podcast where Chanie walks you through vision casting and decision making as a school leader. The truth is, there is an endless list of things you can buy for your school and do for your staff. But the reality is, every single director has limited time, money, resources and people. And if you're unsure about where your focus should be at any given time, you're likely just making decisions flying by the seat of your pants. This is why you're overcommitted. This is why your budget is hurting. This is why your resources are tapped. This is why your staff is stressed out. That is why today we're talking about the 3 pillars of a sustainable school: Mindset, Time and Culture How to assess the strengths (and weaknesses) in the pillars of your school, And why they have such an impact on not only your focus as a director, but the overall success of your school (and the legacy you will leave behind). If you want to create a sustainable school with systems that constantly move you and your staff forwards, this is exactly what I teach school leaders how to do inside of the Director’s Inner Circle and Owners HQ memberships.

The “open door policy” has trickled into our school culture, because we think that it makes our staff feel valued and appreciated, since they know they can come talk to us at any time, for anything. Today Chanie breaks down this myth of the open door policy, and shows you how the application of this myth is likely negatively impacting your school, and what you should be doing instead. Chanie is hosting a 5-day workshop called the Build to Last Workshop, to help you remove overwhelm and interruptions to build a calendar and life that serves your personal and professional leadership goals.

After 30 days of implementing the Gratitude Matrix, our executive director Kristen went from 17 callouts in September to 4 callouts in August. What did she do? She implemented the Gratitude Matrix in her school, and saw an almost immediate shift because her staff felt valued and appreciated. This is why I am so excited to share the Gratitude Matrix with you; a very powerful, yet very simple system, that I teach to all of the owners and directors that I work with.
