RELEASE THE MAGIC... LIGHT YOUR OWN FIRE!

I bumped into an old colleague in a service station cafe recently and she reminded me that we simply need to stop waiting for someone else...

These are seven things that will make a real difference in your life, your family, your school, your team, or your organisation. Do all seven, and you will release real magic!

• Craft a big, bold story and tell it every day. 
• Multiply your leadership connections. 
• Act with compassion and kindness. 
• Tell the truth. 
• Challenge people and hold them to account. 
• Celebrate keeping your promises. 
• Be yourself. 

We all know the keys to brilliant: people, leadership, teamwork, attitude, trust, determination, commitment, partnership, ownership and engagement. Passion, commitment and belief, determination and hard work will continue to transform provision and outcomes for young people and the communities they serve.
