Do the UNEXPECTED

I just had this blog and video shared with me by a dear colleague who was so touched that she had to share. THANK GOODNESS she shared! It is exactly what I needed tonight as i contemplate some work. Do the unexpected... Do the unexpected. I want to be that person that does the unexpected at just the right time! As an instructional coach, I watch, listen, reflect... and try to not say too much at the wrong time, but try to say the just right thing at the right time... and my thoughts are always taking me to the "what would I do in this situation" or how would I reach this child, or what does this parent mean when they say... or I cant' believe my colleague said this and further more believes this!!. What is the right question to ask... what language will turn the focus and conversation? How can I make a difference that counts?? Oh my... I run scenarios over and over in my mind as I drive in my car, as I enter my coaching interactions on Sharepoint, as I discuss and listen with colleagues...as I sit hunched over my computer. I want to be the person that does the unexpected... the cool thing is that we often get second chances... but wouldn't it be awesome to do the unexpected at the just right time!!
