Living Strategy

Exciting news! 🚀 Living Strategy is proud to be part of the incredible lineup for The AI Show @ASU GSV, taking place April 5-7, 2025, at the San Diego Convention Center. We’re thrilled to join industry leaders and innovators in shaping the future of education. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with top educators, edtech companies, and thought leaders as we explore the power of AI in transforming learning. Stay tuned for more updates, and join us at #ASUGSVShow2025!

Today's #Gem of the day goes to Phillips Brooks School for how they embraced our #TinyTriumphs activity and expanded it from a faculty-staff kick-off activity into an ongoing celebration of community tributes. How energizing for everyone! In this short video filmed on location, you will also hear me share that even #students picked this up and are now creating their own tiny tributes wall for each other. Now that’s amazing. Here's to the power of promoting a #culture of #positivity to engage, inspire, and renew K-12 school leaders, teachers and staff. Exciting to see the impact here.

My #gem of the day #GotD goes out to #community and #connection with a shout-out to all of the #edtech #entrepreneurs out their using their time and talent and #AI to solve real problems that advance education for all. We are excited to see everyone for the second year in a row in at THE AI SHOW @ ASU GSV in San Diego. We’ll be there. Here’s to the future!

Hi everyone, I’m excited to share my gem of the day #GotD featuring collaboration, iteration and excitement for what’s next. When we incorated Living Strategy in 2020, my vision from the start was to bring energy, passion, enthusiasm and strategic thinking to help school leaders collaborate with their communities, lift-up the work of teachers and teams, create inspirational vision and actionable plans to make a difference in education for students. That might sound like a mouthful, but for the past four years, we have had the privilege and the honor of doing all of that and more while working with many of the most innovative schools in #SiliconValley. Time and time again, we have helped our school leader clients create clear, concise and compelling vision. And yet, we also know that even great plans fall short without collaboration in and across the organization with people at every level coming together to pull in the same direction toward shared goals. That’s when the magic happens. That’s when moonshots become real. And that’s why we are now branching out with new services and a technology platform app to help collect, celebrate and share the stories of success and the tiny triumphs of individuals and teams that collectively make progress on key goals, mission, vision and values. This is more than just another way to track a smart goal. This is about sharing and celebrating the personal moments of pride that keep us going, leave a smile on our face and give us satisfaction knowing it was a job well done. I won’t try to explain it all here in this post. For now, I’ll let the website speak for itself. Check it out at: www.livingstrategy.net In the days and weeks ahead, we’ll share more about what it is, how we got here, and why we think this is an important new tool for employee engagement. Want to learn more? Reach out. Always happy to chat. Special thanks and appreciation to the amazing folks at Cooth for being our thought partner in the development of this site and new branding that we are excited to share. Tiny Triumphs indeed, all around… Can’t wait to hear what you think. Onward. More soon…

My #gem of the day today goes out to the #future and this wonderful question as a topic of discussion amongst great minds making an amazing impact on the world. The question not just for them, but for all of us: “What will you do to make a difference tomorrow?” Let’s brainstorm in the comments… I’ll start… please join me…

Hi all — ok, my #Gem of the day comes to you from what on the surface might seem a random departure from my usual posts, but let me connect the dots for you on why this gets my #GotD shout-out: 1. She had me at #MacandCheese — just ask my family. That’s real. It’s more than an obsession. It’s one of my basic food groups. Yes, I’m serious about that. 2. Author Erin Wade left her corporate lawyer job to follow her passion and open what is now a highly successful Mac and Cheese restaurant: Homeroom in #Berkeley, CA. 3. I left a great biotech corporate communications job (that I loved) to help a visionary founder open The Girls' Middle School in #MountainView, CA. Not exactly mac and cheese, but it certainly was a passion project for us all. And now here I am 25 years later still loving waking up every day thinking about ways in which I can help visionary school leaders in Silicon Valley and beyond collaborate with their communities and write inspirational, engaging, and actionable strategic plans that make a difference in the lives of the students we all serve. That might sound “cheesy” to some, but it’s what gets me up in the morning. I’m grateful every day to have had not just one, but two careers in two of the highest impact industries: healthcare and education. So when Erin Wade writes about “doing well while doing good” and about “what it means to love your work,” she’s speaking my language. I can’t wait to dive into this book. In the meantime, I might need to make a trip to Berkeley to get some more mac-and-cheese while I wait… yes, it’s really that good. Trust me on this one, I try a lot of Mac’s (see point #1 above), and this one is worth the trip. In closing, special shout out and thanks to Leah Zarra and Wiley for cooking-up this soon-to-be great addition to our bookshelves. Congrats to all!
