individual brilliance
Aug 20, 2025In schools, we often talk about individual brilliance.
But some of the most powerful moments happen when a spark is shared with others.
During a school visit, a colleague once closed a team session with a simple story.
Not about test scores. Not about policies.
But about a learner’s unexpected curiosity that turned into a project.
The room changed.
People leaned in. Smiles appeared. A colleague whispered, “That’s why I’m here.”
Here’s the thing:
👉 Sharing success doesn’t just celebrate results—it spreads energy.
👉 A single story can inspire others to try, adapt, or rethink.
👉 Shared curiosity is contagious.
That’s why we need to create space for moments of inspiration.
They remind teams that growth isn’t about checking boxes—it’s about fueling motivation and keeping the “why” alive.
So next time your team meets, don’t just review what went wrong.
Ask: What’s worth shining a light on?
Because one shared spark can ignite a whole team.
