African Educators: A Step-by-Step Guide to Land Teaching and School Leadership Positions in the United States Principal Edward W. Gordon, II keeps sharing valuable tips with me to pass on to African educators. He is highly passionate about assisting African educators in securing teaching and leadership positions in the United States. Landing teaching and school leadership positions in the United States as an African individual involves a combination of education, certification, networking, and understanding the American education system. Keep in mind that each state in the U.S. may have slightly different requirements and processes. Therefore, it's crucial to conduct thorough research and customize your approach accordingly. Here are some steps and tips to help position yourself for such roles: ⬇️ I encourage all educators in Africa who are seeking opportunities in the United States to register for the upcoming event.

Please accept my friendly advice: Don’t wait your turn, don’t wait to be tapped on the shoulder, don’t wait for others to notice your leadership potential, don’t think you are too young, don’t think you are too old, you don’t need advanced degrees, you don’t need to be an executive in order to apply. The simple fact is we need more people prepared to take on the leadership challenges we face as a society, because present and future generations are depending on it. If you are interested in leading with purpose, deciding what’s next, gaining confidence in taking on greater challenges, or avoiding burn out - grab this precious opportunity. You won’t regret it!

I highly recommend Leadership Iowa, especially for its focus on leadership development and nurturing meaningful relationships. A couple of years ago, I had the privilege of participating, and it stands out as one of the most transformative experiences I've had. The people I had the pleasure of meeting in my cohort are not only incredibly genuine but also deeply inspiring. Their authenticity and passion are truly contagious. Beyond the exceptional individuals involved, the program itself is remarkably powerful. Its impact extends far beyond the duration of the program. If you're looking to grow as a leader and forge meaningful connections, I can't recommend this program highly enough! #leadership #Relationships #authenticleadership #compassionateleadership

Not for the Shelf Ok, you got the vision statement, now what? Well, it isn’t for making a nice banner or great plaque to hang on the wall. It needs to be communicated. Those who come into your fellowship need to know what you plan to accomplish in the community.  This vision is woven into the things that you do; from outreach events to Sunday morning services. When traveling with GPS, the system is alerting me what is coming up, when to prepare for the next turn and when I must turn in order to stay on course. A vision statement will do the same things; it helps us to keep focused and stay of course. Those who begin to attend should see the vision being modeled and lived out by those in leadership.

It was truly an honor to participate in Latino Leaders Magazine C-Suite and Board Directors Forum last week, immersing myself in a community of inspiring individuals. During the event, I had the privilege of engaging in a fireside chat with @JorgeFerraez, the co-founder and publisher of Latino Leaders Magazine, where we delved into the crucial topic of leadership and drew insights from my 35-year journey at the helm of The Hollister Group.   Something I’ve been thinking about since last week, is it’s essential to recognize our shared humanity amidst this chaotic world. We are all on a quest to evolve into the best version of ourselves. The cornerstone of this journey is self-awareness—an indispensable tool for identifying our blind spots and fostering continuous growth. For me, the pursuit of self-awareness is not a destination but an ongoing journey. It's a reminder that, left unchecked, we may inadvertently perpetuate patterns that no longer serve what we are up to in our lives.    I truly feel self-awareness is one of the most critical leadership traits to work on as it can be a true game changer. In doing so, we contribute not only to our personal growth but also to a world that will undoubtedly benefit the growth of our families, communities, and organizations.
