If I can learn the skills to lead a district to Distinguished status, then I know that I can help anyone to do so.What made the difference for me was that I had good coaches; that experience has taught me to be a good coach in return.It's a matter of assessing your strengths, accepting coaching through areas of weakness, remaining open to change, and surrounding yourself with quality people.
- I have learned through good coaching, and I'm confident I can share that knowledge with others
- Know from experience the skill set of setting goals and priorities, and working with people to achieve them
- Know when to ask for help, and when to extend the helping hand
- Know how to make the hard decisions when they have to be done, and how to stick by them
