54. Work Ethic Redefined with Scott Wayman

What does it mean to have a good work ethic?    In today’s episode, I share a special conversation from my Owners Only membership program with Scott Wayman.   Scott is the Founder and CEO of Kangarootime, and in this week’s episode, we talk about redefining work ethic and both of our personal definitions of it. We dive into cultural norms, how to shift the narrative and the conversation around work ethic, and ways to lean into conflict and really understand what building and sustaining schools of excellence entails. I hope you enjoy this enlightening interview.   We also discuss:   Redefining work ethic and what it means to be a good employee. Components of not working yourself to death. Culture, work-life integration, and understanding the quality of life that our employees have.  Holding your staff accountable and how to be intentional about it. Creating a culture of transparency and normalizing what it means to have difficult conversations.   … and so much more!   Connect with Scott Wayman Kangarootime website: https://kangarootime.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kangarootime/   Resources and links mentioned in this episode: Access the Teacher Training Vault: https://schoolsofexcellence.com/early-childhood-teacher-trainings/ Access the Confidence and Resiliency Training: https://discovered.thrivecart.com/confidence-resiliency-training/ Sign up for the Director’s Inner Circle & Owner's HQ: http://Chanie.me/jointhedic Patty Mccord Book: https://pattymccord.com/book/   More about the show: If you are an Early Childhood director or owner, prepare to transform your school and life with the Schools of Excellence podcast.
