School Improvement: Creating a Personal Vision

Creating a Personal Vision

"We live in the first time and place in the world’s history and geography where our challenges stem not from scarcity but from surplus, not from oppression, but from options, and not from absence but from abundance...

Instead of struggling to find our next meal, we are struggling to get our busy families together...it's not the sparse simplicity of too little, but the crowded complexity of too much that plagues our lives."

Richard Eyre, Lifebalance

Our inner conflict most often comes from the ongoing struggle between the compass and the clock.

The clock represents the way you spend your time and the compass represents that which is of most importance to you—your true north.

What is one activity—that if I did it superbly well and consistently—it would make a significant, positive impact in my life?

If my favorite role model, teacher, or mentor were living my life, how would they do it differently?

The clock represents the way you spend your time and the compass represents that which is of most importance to you—your true north.
