πŸš‚ Some of my favorite dad moments have come with these train tracks.

Are you taking time to create with your kids?

We started with the tracks but now we've moved to creating train video. πŸ“Ή

Just reread A Beautiful Constraintβ€”a powerful reminder to shift from "we can't" to "we can if." Schools face constraints, but bold, propelling questions can spark creative solutions and inspire meaningful change. Let’s reimagine what's possible in 2025! #WeCanIf #EducationLeadership #Innovation

I don’t have a lot of β€œskills” when it comes to home or auto improvement or upkeep, so I celebrate my few DIY victories. Today, I installed a garbage disposal. #winning

Sitting in a hotel lobby feeding my toddler breakfast, we watched TV news. What would the country look like if TV news took the time to tell stories and explain issues that impacted people’s lives rather than the every visual tragedy from aggregated across the world (even on local news)?

I put 800 miles on the odometer this past week, meeting.

Here’s what I learned along the way:

1. Meet your audience where they are.
2. Before the meeting, understand what they truly value.
3. Bring what they value to the meeting.
4. Ask for feedback.
5. Bring cookies πŸͺ.

While technology has its limitations and flaws, I found immense satisfaction when my two kids video-conferenced with my mom 1200 miles away.

My dad’s classic arcade games make for a fun family trip. Despite this guy’s best efforts, I’m still the PACMAN champ. #arcade #pacman #games #family

My parents transformed the room in their house where I played ping pong and poker as a teenager into a toddler’s paradise. #parenting

Asked a longtime friend in a different state about her kids school. It’s a STEM school that does PBL but she couldn’t speak to what PBL is or why it’s valuable. She had no indication if it’s being done with fidelity or effectiveness.

There’s a significant amount of parents who say β€œI want my school to focus on the basics/academics/fundamentals” and what they really mean is that eduspeak has become a foreign language. Initiatives are on as good as their implementation. Fascinating to ask parents to talk about their kid’s school.

Watching my parents be grandparents has been enlightening. My one-year-old niece broke my dad last night after she took an hour to fall asleep. #parenting #millennials #babyboomers #grandparents

Corey Ryan, MBA, CPC on LinkedIn: I'm embarrassed to admit I felt proud when I impressed my next-door… I'm embarrassed to admit I felt proud when I impressed my next-door neighbor by telling him I could change a bike tire tube. I’m not handy, so this one…

Implementation is always complex, which is why most strategic plans and initiatives fail. Typically, when an organization wants to improve, innovate, or grow, it isn't changing the bike tire it already knows how to fix.
