Attitude is everything when establishing relationships. Be it with students, peers or other adults, the impact we have on the people around us has the ability to influence a life forever. In knowing that we possess this type of influence, it is critical that we approach each day with a positive, well-intended mindset. In being an educator and a coach, the importance of being able to self-reflect on my daily experiences assists me with keeping a positive trajectory in school and in life. I simply love the manner in which Joy and Tony have developed the concept of the “local story,” no matter our position in life, we all possess the power to build a relationship or break it down. This book is for anyone and everyone who wants to continually strive for the best in themselves and others. -- Beth Potter Bryan, Teacher, Coach, Parent, Ridley School District Teaching often presents unpredictable and frustrating experiences. Yet, in Sharing Mindsets, Joy and Tony offer teachers useful recipes for navigating daily challenges with tact, patience, and professionalism. In this uniquely written book, Joy and Tony provide a series of distinctive anecdotes from successful businesspersons, who, in their own words, explain the value of developing caring relationships with customers and fellow employees—the same strategies critical to making a difference in students’ lives. This book is for every educator at any level and at any place where there are students—and, as well, a valuable resource for parents! -- Dave F. Brown, Ed. D., Educational Researcher and Co-author of What Every Middle School Teacher Should Know Leadership is one of the most critical components to the success of an organization. Be it in business or education, having the right leader ultimately builds the vision that promotes positivity and productivity. Yet, too often, we see these core values between business and education as separate. But not anymore! Joy and Tony have completed the incredible task of marrying both the business and educational worlds into one true voice. With their tireless work with CEOs and educators, they have been able to capture the core values that guide passionate, selfless leadership to ultimately build both amazing companies and classrooms. Through their work, we realize that true leadership encompasses the trifecta – the self, the heart and the hands. This text is truly one of a kind, and a must read for educators and business folks alike. -- Jack Berckemeyer, Speaker, Author and Humorist, and Owner of the Nuts and Bolts Symposiums Sharing Mindsets is exactly the type of ""catch"" needed in our world today that adds value to both education and business! Both in football and in life, I have witnessed where an influential mindset improves everything, whereby, when the education system encompasses this approach, we build better students, we build better people and a better community. In accord, the same goes for the business world...better employees, better organizations, etc. And Joy and Tony understand this critical work must start at the grass roots level in classrooms and work rooms alike. I always loved when my coach, Dick Vermeil, would say, “People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.” This text emphasizes this exact premise! Once we demonstrate true care and compassion, the sky is the limit; who knows when and where a child's or employee's passion will ignite. Teaching for potential and providing guiding principles for life is the key to building successful relationships, success people, and successful communities. -- Mike Quick, Former NFL Philadelphia Eagles Receiver, Current Broadcaster for Philadelphia Eagles
