Quotes:
“Not every organization will agree on everything. But can you agree on the 80% you have in common? … If you can build a coalition on trust and finding common ground when there is that 20% disagreement, it’s still comfortable and you have a space for radical candor.”
“We don’t see vulnerability as a superpower, and we should.”
“The thing that gives me hope every single day is actually our young people. They are amazing, dynamic, caring, global citizens, and our job is to create experiences that invest them in their own learning and drive social impact and change. …That's the stuff that fills my cup and makes me feel urgency.
“Our schools are amazing. Our educators are innovators. Our young people are catalysts for change. We need to figure out a way to unlock that power, and that's what I'm committed to at InnovateEDU.”
