Blake shares powerful (and practical) ways his team keeps their culture thriving: from one-minute video shoutouts and the \u201cFinal Bell Salute\u201d to the Awesome Cup and the Can of Awesome. It\u2019s an inspiring look at what happens when leaders intentionally create tiny moments that make people feel seen and celebrated. As Blake reminds us, the key to great leadership (and great schools) is to pay ferocious attention\u2014to kids, to staff, and to the little moments that matter most. Listen in for ideas you can bring to your own campus this week\u2014and a reminder that culture isn\u2019t built in big events, but in everyday actions that make people feel valued.
