S lid to the C re1. Bright and shiny apples symbolize schools

of yore,

Bright and shiny apples that were

solid to the core.

2. Bright and shiny apples today mean so much more:

Symbols of important values that are

solid to the core.

3. Being, Knowing, Doing—simple words that form the floor

For our Conceptual Framework to be

solid to the core

4. The outside of the shiny apple in this symbolic lore

Represents “doing”—skills that are trulysolid to the core.

5. The inside of the shiny apple is the knowledge we adore.

The “knowing” that’s so important to be

solid to the core.

6. The heart of the shiny apple where vital seeds are stored

Germinate the inner “being” to make us

solid to the core.

7. Important shining values, we have claimed before--

Competence – Character – Compassion – will make us solid to the core.

8. The challenge of our work right now calls us to restore

Trust and Commitment to build a team that’s

solid to the core.

9. So will you make a sacred pledge as we enter this year’s door?

“I’ll do my best to build the team so we’ll be

solid to the core!”

Action Steps for TodayBe honest and ask these critical thinking questions:

In my personal and professional lives, which choices/behaviors are in harmony with my values?

Are any of my choices/behaviors inconsistent with the values I claim to hold?

“In what ways are my habits, actions and behaviors congruent with the vision I have for my life/for where I work?” Adapted from "Secrets of the World Class, Turning Mediocrity into Greatness", by Steve Siebold
