Boundaries
So as you move into this year - whether you are a new director or a returning director - pay attention to your priorities and your boundaries.
1. Dont forsake spending time with the Lord. Pray for your own kids, for your program and the enrolled families, for your fellow directors and communities. Lay it out to him - he will help you prioritize.
- Luke 10:38-42 “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
2. Remember what your job is as the director: to empower parents and encourage students. It is NOT to be a Latin master or a Debate expert or to know the nitty gritty details of every reader. Work at developing your ability to lead a discussion and asking questions. How can you connect with parents to empower them? How can you encourage every student in your class?
- 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
3. Reach out for help in the small things, before they get big. Cultivate relationships with your fellow directors and tutors; what are their strengths that you can draw on? Connect with another Director in the same level as you and share tips and tricks and resources. Reach out to me so that I can help you with all the training I have recieved and help you get the resources you need.
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
Proverbs 15:22 Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.
