In this episode: Darci Lang returns to BTPS for a sit-down with Rhae-Ann. Darci received rave reviews from BTPS staff in August as our keynote speaker to help kick-off the new school year. "Canadian bestselling author Darci Lang believes each of us can hold a magnifying glass in front of our lives and choose to either focus it on the negative 10% – those things and people that bother us and drag us down – or we can choose to focus on the 90% in our lives that is positive and beneficial." In this podcast Darci gives us further insight about her message and shares her anticipation for her return visits with our Support Staff in October and BTPS teachers in March and the annual celebration for Women in Leadership, also in March. She will continue her message with what it can mean to our individual growth by focusing on a positive attitude as the foundation of our successes and she wants others to benefit by the stories and experiences she shares. Spend a few minutes with the ladies today...
