July 31, 2009 Dr. Bertice Barry—Leadership Notes: “Thriving Leaders Inspire Students Success”
 * CASE Conference **

Regarding storytelling: “we’re connected by stories. . .” Laughter—laughing is important--it releaves stress Developing respect and trust for you—//filters: you need to use your own filter to filter out negative experiences—let go of negative experiences.// “Education saves lives. . . minds. . . hearts” Speaking of having a sense of mission. . . a sense of purpose: People need to be “in-purpose.” “Walk with purpose; collide with destiny.” // “If you believe in yourself you can accomplish anything.” // Combine the past with the present to move forward. Utilize parents and business partners to pull them into the learning work. About **diversity. . .** utilizing diverse thinking leads to critical thinking—pull all of the collective thoughts together—distill the best thinking // Ít is not about Kumbaya; it is about bringing so many different ideas together and finding success. // We need to cultivate **gratitude.** Be aware of the frame [rigidity] that we sometimes put ourselves in. We need to be more open. B. Barry’s dissertation: “Black on black discrimination.” About **Purpose** Your purpose is not your job, it is your **responsibility.** Connecting to purpose. . . let others surface their sense of purpose. You’re not free to do what you want to do, but __you’re free to do what you need to do__.
 * Success is the impression you leave. **
