LinkedIn rewind: vibe was mentor enabler and connector. Superpower was abridging technology and human connection top quote was students can lead students want to lead. We just need to create experiences that allow them to do so 44 posts, 1153 reactions, 233 comments, 57 reposts, 1522 followers

Lesson 12: Expansion is uncomfortable. Your ability to sit in that feeling without running is a direct correlation to your level of growth. To believe everything is always working out for you even when it feels like it’s not IS the magic. ✨ #12lessonsin2024 #EduSky

EXPANSION WILL BE UNCOMFORTABLE.
Growth requires discomfort, rest, and reflection.

Tisha @tishaponcio.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

I’ve learned a lot about people (and myself) over the years and the thing I wish I’d learned sooner was “let them.” Mel Robbins’ “Let Them” theory was part of a podcast I listened to last year and it changed my entire outlook. (1/3) #EduSky #12LessonsIn2024 •

Embrace release over control. Let them. Pour that energy back into you.

Lesson 10: Rest with action. Surrender with power. Receiving with leading. #12LessonsIn2024 #EduSky

Balance is the key to growth. Rest with action. Surrender with power. Receiving with leading.

Lesson 8: Move slower. Breathe Deeper. Being busy for the sake of being busy will never move the needle. Unsure of something or someone - get still. Learning what it feels like to trust yourself- get outside and literally stand still. #12lessonsin2024 #EduSky

MOVE SLOWER, BREATHE DEEPER.
Stillness isn't inactivity—it's where clarity is born.

Tisha @tishaponcio.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

Ask for help. Courage inspires others. Your vulnerability might be someone else’s guide. #12lessonsin2024 #EduSky
