Alisa Kay is from Ukraine. While she, along with most of her family members live in England, most of her immediate family members happened to be in Ukraine the day the Russian invasion began.Alisa, who I met in our digital entrepreneur mentoring program, acted quickly by starting a fundraiser so that she would know exactly where and to whom to donate the money. I'd say she's the definition of the Ukrainian strength we've seen projected all over social media and MSM over the past two weeks. Click the link below to donate.Alisa-Kay.com/actlouder

Season 1, which began in July 2021, focused on what teachers can do to keep themselves from burning out and by October, it was clear that teachers could not manage this alone. And while this has always been true and while good leadership has always been important, the last two years have shown us that leadership usually makes the critical difference in whether teachers and school leaders stay in their roles.Therefore, the focus for season 2 was the leadership needed to keep teachers and leaders in their roles and feeling effective in their roles. Here is what we learned.Season 3 will have an aspiration theme to it.Sunflower bangle mentioned during the show (50% of the proceeds support aid to Ukraine): https://lucadanni.com/products/yellow-sunflower-bangle-braceletVisit my website: www.drkeeganjedele.com to learn about the ways we are providing direct support to teachers and leaders!
