Developing Relationships

People have often asked me why I never became an administrator, and my response was always something sarcastic about dealing with parents, but it also has something to do with what Stephen Graves says in The Difference Between Leadership and Influence.  I’ve never wanted to be in a leadership position where people looked at me as the ‘boss’.  In reading the descriptions of influence: crosses boundaries, behind the scenes, under the surface (Graves, 2013) that’s where I want to be. 
The Most Persistent Myth almost made me laugh - we can all remember not only technologies that have come and gone, but methods and pedagogies as well.  This video brings home the foundational idea that teachers will never become obsolete - in fact, human educators are more important than ever in today’s society to develop personal relationships with each student and inspire them to do more with their life than staring at a screen.  
Developing this personal relationship with my audience is what I will strive for in both my article and podcast.  Being a flawed,  somewhat awkward, and dorky human makes me relatable- hopefully, I can leverage these qualities to influence my audience in a positive way!
