NAIS | Coaches’ Corner

I spent part of last week in Nashville for the National Association of Independent Schools Annual Conference.

And what an energizing few days it was!

From reconnecting with friends to making new connections, I was reminded of the power of community in independent schools.

I spend a lot of time on Zoom.

So I am always excited to connect with folks in-person.

There were so many meaningful conversations over sessions, in hallways, and around shared meals.

Wheeler, Debra Wilson, Sarah Wilson, and so many others for filling my bucket last week.

Plus I was fortunate enough to participate in Coaches' Corner with an incredible team of coaches.

I am grateful for the insights, laughter, and learning.

Can't wait to do it all again next year in Seattle.

Maybe next year I'll remember to take photos with other people!
