One of my favorite parts of my work is watching programs evolve from “good ideas” into living, breathing spaces where students and families thrive.

The secret? Empowerment.

When leaders are equipped with the right tools and teams are aligned around shared values, ex*****on flows. The systems run smoother. The outcomes improve. The work feels lighter because it’s no longer carried by one person alone.

I’ve seen it time and again. Empowered leaders build empowered organizations. And empowerment fuels sustainability.

✨ This is where transformation happens.

But here’s the truth: transformation can’t start until you know where you are. Too many leaders skip this step, trying to fix culture without first checking the temperature.

That’s why I created What’s the Temperature?: Culture Reflection + Self-Assessment. It’s a simple tool that gives you a clear snapshot of your organization’s culture today, so you can start building the future you want tomorrow.

Let’s be real… one of the hardest parts of leading a school isn’t the academics, the testing, or even the funding. It’s the culture.

When culture slips, morale drops. When morale drops, turnover rises. And when turnover rises, students feel it first.

I know this because I’ve lived it. I’ve been the leader sitting at my desk late at night asking myself:

Why does it feel like we’re not aligned?
How do I get my team on the same page?
Where do I even start?

The truth? Sometimes, it’s not about adding another initiative or program. Sometimes it’s about pausing, reflecting, and facing the reality of where your culture actually is.

That’s exactly why I created the Culture Reflection Tool—a simple but powerful way for schools to assess where they stand when it comes to culture, values, and alignment.

This week, I’m soft-launching it just for schools. The first 10 schools to complete it will receive a bonus 15-minute consultation with me to unpack the results and take the first step toward culture transformation.

Take a few minutes to reflect and see where your culture currently stands:

🕊️ Global Prayer Week reminds us that prayer is more than words—it’s a lifestyle, a rhythm, and a gift.

When we created Our Prayer: A Family Tradition Before Bed, it wasn’t to just write another bedtime story. It was to capture something timeless and holy—something that connects generations and builds bonds of faith.

✨ Families who pray together build bridges of love that last far beyond bedtime.

Vulnerable moment...

I’ll be honest. I’ve had moments where I’ve questioned everything.

“Maybe I should’ve stayed in a stable job.”
“Maybe I should’ve saved more before stepping out.”
“Maybe I’m not cut out for this.”

But every single time, I’m reminded: this work matters. I’ve seen the lives changed, the leaders empowered, and the students impacted. That’s bigger than my doubts.

🙌🏾And that’s why I keep going.

The key metric most leaders overlook in assessing culture…

Staff trust.

Not the kind you measure once a year on a survey — but the everyday trust that shows up when:

Teachers feel safe speaking honestly in meetings.

Staff believe leadership will actually follow through.

Teams know they can depend on each other without fear or blame.

You can have high test scores and still have a toxic culture. You can have low turnover but still have disengaged staff.

But if trust is strong? Engagement grows, collaboration strengthens, and students benefit.

If you really want to know the health of your culture, start by asking: Do my people trust me? Do they trust each other?

The good news? The free Culture Self-Assessment tool that will help you check the temperature of your organization is now live for schools.

When I opened my school, I thought passion would be enough. I had the vision. I had the drive. But then came the application, the governance requirements, the financial models, the compliance checklists… and I realized real quick... passion opens the door, but strategy keeps it from slamming shut.

So many founders give up before they even get started, not because their idea isn’t good, but because they didn’t have the right support to turn their vision into an approved, fundable plan.

I’ve been there. I’ve stumbled. And I’ve also figured out what it takes to actually get across the finish line.

If you’re sitting on a school dream, waiting for the “perfect time”… this is it. The perfect time doesn’t exist, but the right plan does.
