In the words of Ms. Jackson…

Verse 1:

Used to be a time when you would pamper me

Usta brag about it all the time

Your friends seem to think that you’re so peachy keen

But my friends say neglect is on your mind--who’s right?

Chorus:

What have you done for me lately?

Ooh ooh ooh yeah

What have you done for me lately?

Ooh ooh ooh yeah

Bridge:

I never ask for more than I deserve

You know it’s the truth

You seem to think you’re God’s gift to this earth

I’m tellin’ you no way

What We Know Is True…•We are in this profession because we care about students.

•We want to serve students, families, institutions, and our communities to the best of our ability.

•We want to build bridges, not erect walls.

•We may have different roles and responsibilities, but we are part of the same village.

•We want to be relationship-focused versus merely transactional.

Where Have We Lost Our Way?

•Communication

•Relationship Building

•Valuing People

Communication

Communication and communication strategy is not just part of the game—it is the game. Oscar Munoz

Relationship Building

No love, no friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever. Francois Mauriac

Valuing People

Valuing each other should be a two-way street. Courtney Vaughn

Closing Thoughts from Ms. Jackson…You ought to be thankful for the little things

But little things are all you seem to give

You’re always putting off what we could do today

Soap opera says

You’ve got one life to live

Who’s right, who’s wrong?

Questions?Thank you for coming!
