L = Love; I work well with others and can show leadership in a friendly way. I need to work on offering my help in a leadership way instead of waiting for others to ask.
E = Energy; I try to start and end the day on an energetic note. I volunteer for a lot of things and help out wherever I can. Sometimes I get overwhelmed and can feel drained.
A = Audacity; being bold; when I am in a meeting, I'm not afraid to speak up and voice my opinion. At times, if I am in an unfamiliar situation, I can be more quiet and not offer my insight even if I have an idea.
P = Proof; I prove my leadership by actually doing it. I am an example for the other teacher that I share a classroom with. I also get done what needs to be done. I can be a little critical of others if they are not pulling their share of the load.
Example:
I am the head of my department and co-lead quarterly department PLC meetings. In those meetings, there are some very strong male voices that have been overbearing on the meetings. I have been working on being a stronger voice in the meetings by offering my input frequently. I bring good ideas to the meeting and make sure we stay on task and follow the agenda.

I would imagine in the field of technology there are a lot of men. Out of all of the women out there, you would be a great voice to be heard. You are a wonderful person and teacher - such a great leader for your school and department!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed by your background with the Air Force and applying your knowledge now in a public schol setting. You just have to keep plowing ahead because the young students, especially girls, can benefit by your leadership and trailblazing history.

ReplyDeleteI love your "I prove my leadership by actually doing it." There is nothing better than putting shoe leather on a great idea. Some merely talk while others do. I had you pegged as a do-er from day one!
