What a way to start at a new school - a couple of hours with the fabulous John Hendry to remind myself why teaching matters and why the headspace of the people entrusted in our care matters so much. 

Most resonating was his call to action to build relationships ​on the following factors
Trust
Forgiveness 
Integrity
Hope 
Compassion
What this means moving into a new role, in a new school with new staff and students to get to know is that to embody this my relationships could look like this;

Trust through giving myself to others, acknowledging my gaps and trusting staff will help me grow  and trusting in my own capacity as I navigate new experiences. Forgiveness of myself as I make mistakes and to making a process of change. Integrity as I establish relationships and integrate into a well established, experienced staff who bring a wealth of knowledge and understanding  to what they do. Hope through action rather than relying on optimism and compassion as I start to work with people in an area that may be uncomfortable or not of interest to them. One way to establish this compassion is to look for and explore the skills and experiences of those I work with.
