I'm not going to lie, this took me a LONG time to learn and to be able to embrace!! It's still hard! Let me talk you through it...
I recently had the chance to sit down and talk about this and TONS more with the incredible Hope and Wade King. Besides being the authors of The Wild Card and Wild Card Kids and running Get Your Teach On professional development events, they also have started a fantastic podcast called The New EDU.
All of the episodes are worth checking out, but I would be especially appreciative of you listening to my conversation with them and letting us know what you think. Careful!! It may fire you up!! The topic was "How to Manage Difficult Colleagues," but we chatted about a wide range of subjects, and I think you'll really enjoy it.
Get The New EDU wherever you listen to your podcasts, or check it out below!! Please let me know what you think! I am @burgessdave on Twitter and @dbc_inc on Instagram!
