The point of the video…
If we want to reveal the smile we need to go past
-what we see

A “Transparent” Moment
You need to practice grounding
![Page 22: Building Buy In Nspra](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/546f5654af79597b7a8b458c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Why? Because you are here...
• Am I missing important Will and Kate coverage?•I could use a drink—of water or something. •Should I call my spouse?•I could sleep for five days straight.•When is lunch?•Will this get funny soon??
![Page 24: Building Buy In Nspra](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/546f5654af79597b7a8b458c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
About Grounding...
• an inclusion activity•sets norms for humour, participation•brings people into the present•demonstrates value for others•gets brains in the room•focuses mental energy

What we will do together...
• What is buy-in for?
![Page 26: Building Buy In Nspra](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/546f5654af79597b7a8b458c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What are you trying to get buy-in for?
• what is “right” from a PR perspective
• the superintendent’s vision • what is best for kids
![Page 27: Building Buy In Nspra](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/546f5654af79597b7a8b458c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Don’t squander your buy-in opportunities with things that just don’t matter—like a staff newsletter!
![Page 30: Building Buy In Nspra](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/546f5654af79597b7a8b458c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What are the “right things”?
•Increase openness/transparency•Support district strategic plan•Do not “sell” district•Not about superintendent image •Encourage parent involvement•Respond to needs of schools
![Page 31: Building Buy In Nspra](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/546f5654af79597b7a8b458c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What are you trying to get buy-in for?
• the superintendent’s vision
![Page 32: Building Buy In Nspra](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/546f5654af79597b7a8b458c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
By using powerful language, positive communication style, and non-verbal expressiveness, leaders breathe life into a vision.

The superintendent’s vision-really?
• As system leader has role to guide • You have role to support, enable• Not image-building• Not automatically a “yes”• Remember role of board• Even when you don’t like the idea• Even if you don’t like superintendent
![Page 34: Building Buy In Nspra](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/546f5654af79597b7a8b458c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Like what?
•“Consult” vs “inform”•K-8 vs K-12•Student lottery
![Page 35: Building Buy In Nspra](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/546f5654af79597b7a8b458c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Changing the attitude and behaviour of people is very, very hard to accomplish. You can't simply give a couple of speeches or write a new credo. If employees don't see the key changes in what you say and do and in your behaviours and mannerisms, it's hard to change the culture.

Why they should NOT listen to you
• you came from the public sector, or straight from college... You really know nothing about education, and I don’t even believe this “PR” thing is a profession, so I will do what I think is best
• You came from the private sector as a trained communicator... You don’t get education, and you never will. You never worked the frontlines, so I will do what I think is best. • You were a teacher in the system... You don’t know anything that I don’t know, so I will do what I think is best.

About the (beloved) old logo
• created 36 years ago for the Peel County Board of
Education• survived four name changes• is a big “P” and says our names starts with P• was not used consistently, not on school letterhead• not on one of our 221 “branches”• people had an unnatural affection for the “P”--especially
my most senior people with all the power, influence,
control over my destiny• reviewed (unsuccessfully) in 1991
