Starting Day 3...Angela Maiers

I have never seen results accomplished without passion...Peter Druker

Starting the day with students by saying... YOU are a genius and the world needs your contribution

How do you change our focus to passion/happiness?

Personal Branding:  What is my title - Chief Creativity Discoverer? Creativity Explorer?
Renaming ourselves to discover our collective genius

Crab Bucket Culture - Does someone grab you and pull you back down in the bucket?
If there is a crab that is pulling you down, rename them to show their "blessings" that they can bring to you and your team/school

Passion is the genius of genius - How do we as educators to increase students' passion quotient (PQ)?
Passion-Driven Learners: optimistic, genuine, compassion, persistent, laser-like focus, couragous, risk-taker, confidence, visionary ---fanatically disciplined, fiercely determined, empirically creative, confidently unstoppable
---never lose your motion

Create a To Be list, not a To Do list!

*all genius matters  *contributions are nonnegotiable  *freedom -> reponsibility  *you matter
Identify a problem- ask for help from geniuses - actions

Creating a heart - sharing with others can be difficult
