Intro

Many years ago when my children were starting school, I was nervous and apprehensive like most parents.  I wanted school to be a positive experience! Going to school presented new routines, different expectations, and plenty of unknowns.  

The day before school, I proposed “The Five Rules for School”.  These rules were based on my anxieties at school. And, while I thought I was only creating a guide for my children, I realize I follow these rules daily.  This approach is still a part of how I get ready to manage life’s challenges. 

I share my story about the rules and their correlation to my work life with many audiences. I make an effort to associate and translate the “school rules” to “career rules”. But, you will see, that a roadmap isn’t really needed.

The rules are intuitive and easy to apply.
