True influence arises when your words and actions align. You build credibility by leading transparently—sharing both successes and struggles. When introducing a new initiative, you demonstrate it yourself: piloting a small AI-driven lesson, gathering honest feedback, and iterating openly. Teachers see your willingness to experiment and learn, which in turn encourages them to step outside their comfort zones.
Serving authentically also means prioritizing well-being. You avoid inundating staff with late-night emails and respect boundaries. By acting consistently with your values—listening deeply, providing support without agenda, and celebrating collective achievements—you foster a culture where service is not a buzzword but a lived reality.
Keep actions rooted in purpose—serve first, and technology will follow.
