Weekly Newsletter Format
I’ve been evolving my “Dear People” format – the weekly letter I am to write to my students. As of now, here is how it’s laid out.
Leadership
The Answer Is Yes
Who do you want to work with? My answer comes down to this one Leonard Bernstein quote:
I’m Not Going To Repeat Myself, But…
Repeat yourself.
Implicit Trust
Choirs don’t work without implicit trust.
The Inevitability of Storming
Plan on it.
Confidence Before You Know The Solution
I believe in optimism as a default position. As an educator, as a leader, as a human being.
What I Can Offer
I had a fun Zoom clinic this afternoon, and in the preparation I reminded myself this.
What’s On The Choir Exam?
What’s going to be on the test?
Leading For Human Outcomes
Ask first about the *human* outcomes you want.
I’ll Try Again Tomorrow
It’s okay to end your day telling yourself this.
