In 1956: IBM unveiled the IBM 350 Disk Storage Unit; the first commercial computer w/disk storage.

📀 50 giant disks
💾 5 MB capacity
⚙️ Random access

It weighed a ton, but changed computing forever.

From rooms full of hardware ➡️ gigabytes in our pockets.

Clippy had to walk, so Mico could bounce

@microsoft.com’s new Copilot character, #Mico, reacts to your voice, helps you learn, and remembers what matters to you.
It’s expressive, smart, and surprises (there’s an Easter egg 👀)

Now live in the US. #Copilot #Clippy

Watched “I Like Me”, the John Candy doc on Prime by @vancityreynolds.bsky.social

Candy made us laugh, but also made a lasting impression. Battled anxiety & self-image, yet stayed kind, generous, & genuine.

Dan Aykroyd said it best: “He was a grand man.” This film proves it! #MustWatch #Legend

The most important Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) aren’t metrics, they’re mindsets:

✅ INFORMED
✅ INVOLVED
✅ INTERESTED
✅ INSPIRED

Forget the spreadsheets and remember that performance starts with people.

A GREAT TEAM isn’t where the loudest voice wins or where constant interjections take over.

Talking over one another isn’t passion. It’s a lack of discipline to listen & a lack of respect for the speaker.

Every voice matters. Listening carries as much weight as speaking.

Change is constant. Full Stop!🛑

Change doesn’t wait until we’re ready. It arrives sometimes as a ripple, sometimes as a tidal wave. 🌊

The difference between thriving and struggling isn’t the size of the wave, it’s the posture we take toward it.

Surf’s up, change agents. 🏄‍♂️

One of the healthiest habits: Don’t take anything personally.

It’s like installing a psychological firewall that protects your energy, your clarity, & your relationships.

Most people’s behavior reflects them, not you.

Stay grounded. Respond, don’t absorb.

Your energy is an investment! Spend it where it compounds, not where it drains.

Your commitment deserves to be matched with effort, respect, value and trust.

Put into it, what you get out of it. Reciprocity matters!

Just finished American Icon. Alan Mulally’s approach at Ford was simple but powerful:

✅ Radical transparency
✅ One Team mindset
✅ Driving alignment

Parallel this to education.

Education is not a business, but we are in the business of education. Lessons for every leader.

Inspired by John Candy’s character, Del Griffith, in Planes,Trains&Automobiles

You don’t need everyone’s approval to know you matter.
You don’t have to be perfect to be worthy.

Like yourself!

What people see should be what they get because that’s enough.
You are enough! #ILikeMe

Too often, we hold ourselves back because we don’t feel “qualified enough." Stop waiting to feel ready.

The best opportunities don’t come when you’re “qualified enough” they come when you’re willing to grow into them. #Leadership #GrowthMindset

Leadership means standing up for your people, believing in them, honoring them, and earning their trust. Anything less is not leadership.
September 7, 2025 at 6:15 PM
What a striking reminder that in leadership, in teams, and in life, complaints without solutions drain energy.

Solutions, even imperfect ones, create possibility.

Ask yourself:
What’s one thing I can do right now to make this better?

Leadership isn’t about titles, perks, or authority. It’s about standing up for the people you lead in the moments that matter most.

Stand with them.
Clear the path.
Lead from the front.

Leaders remove barriers. Obstacles create them.

We can’t do everything. Yet, we keep saying “yes,” piling on more programs, meetings, initiatives believing we can stretch just a little further.

But capacity isn’t infinite.
Every “yes” is also a “no.”

Let’s stop pretending we can do it all & accept that capacity is real.
September 1, 2025 at 12:40 AM
The most dangerous mindset isn’t ignorance, it’s certainty.

The best advocates, mentors, leaders, and role models I know lead with humility. They ask, listen, revise. They know that being teachable isn’t a weakness but rather a superpower.

Let’s normalize growth over ego.
August 28, 2025 at 6:09 PM
Always remember that growth is painful. Change is painful.
But staying where you don’t belong?

That’s soul-deep. If it hurts, ask yourself:
Is this the stretch of becoming or the ache of misalignment?

Mistakes aren’t failures, they’re feedback.

In the workplace, every misstep is a chance to: 🔍 Learn 🧭 Lead with humility 💡 Grow stronger

Normalize learning out loud. Progress is greater than perfection!
