In this episode I want to focus on what YOU can do. Self care is a real thing, just as Katie\u2019s wise words remind us, for if we do not take very good care of ourselves, our beaten, worn, exhausted, anxious, self will be unable and unfit to take care of all those we love, serve, and lead. Self care demands knowledge of the self. We cannot take care of what we do not know nor understand. Many of you are purchasing Christmas presents this time of year; I also hope you will consider my book Along Came a Leader as a gift for yourself, a colleague, and administrator, and a family member this holiday season.
