Helen's conversation with her head teacher

11/8/2013

This may seem like a strange thing to blog about, but I wanted to share today how proud I am that my 13 year daughter's head teacher said to her today, "you've got opinions Helen and you know how to express them, you must have got that from your Mum and Dad".   Of course, Helen was mortified, her preferring for her Mum and Dad to keep their mouths shut where school is concerned.  I'm proud that I've got a daughter who has things to say for herself.

My experience in leading change for nearly 30 years now is that it's difficult to be effective if you can't find ways to have the difficult conversations with all sorts of people.   

You have to start developing that skill when they're still young!
