“Leaders are more powerful role models when they learn than when they teach.”

“We are more than role models for our students; we are leaders and teachers of both an academic curriculum and a social curriculum.”

“Dominator culture teaches all of us that the core of our identity is defined by the will to dominate and control others. We are taught that this will to dominate is more biologically hardwired in males than in females. In actuality, dominator culture teaches us that we are all natural-born killers but that males are more able to realize the predator role. In the dominator model the pursuit of external power, the ability to manipulate and control others, is what matters most. When culture is based on a dominator model, not only will it be violent but it will frame all relationships as power struggles.”

“People focus on role models; it is more effective to find antimodels - people you don't want to resemble when you grow up”

“When you have no role models, you must become your own.”

“The philosophy "Do as I say, not as I do" does not work. Modeling is more powerful than words in teaching your children how to behave. Set a good example for your child!”
