If leadership is a practice, anyone can do it. Some might do it more effectively than others, but everyone can do it. And everyone can get better at it. #WhenEveryoneLeads #ComingJan31 #98TweetsToLaunch

Leadership isn’t . . . Authority. Being the boss. Vision. Charisma. A servant’s heart. An inspirational speech. Leadership could involve these things, and many more, but it isn’t literally these things. #WhenEveryoneLeads #ComingJan31 #99TweetsToLaunch

Visual Art Review | Posada’s Catrina is just one of many intriguing treasures now on display in “Power to the People: Mexican Prints from the Great War to the Cold War,” at the Wichita Art Museum. kcstudio.org/power-to-the-p…


Look what I wrote! My debut as a moonlighting arts writer. Grateful to the Kansas Creative Arts and Industries Commission for the workshop that propelled me. Cheers to @KCStudioMag for taking my pitch! This @WAMinWichita exhibit is well worth the visit. kcstudio.org/power-to-the-p…


Thanks, @PollyBWenzel!

My first time in a major news outlet! Prompted by the death of columnist Mark Shields, whom my father loved, I wrote this piece on civics and grief. It was picked up Saturday by The Kansas City Star and appeared in the Sunday Eagle. @KCStar @kansasdotcom kansas.com/opinion/guest-…

I love this!

I belong with the misfits and outcasts and doubters and wrestle-with-God-ers. I am no more, and no less worthy. Won’t stop. Can’t stop. And you don’t even have to like it. 😘

I was lucky to be invited for a backstage tour to @MTWichita’s production of “A Chorus Line” this week. It’s a Pulitzer Prize-winning look at the lives of real dancers trying to make it on Broadway. I am excited to see the show for the first tjme ever this weekend! #mtwichita

Thanks, @WichitaCindy! Yup, that's my wife! I sure am proud of her.

Students want to know and need to know about the world outside of their classrooms. Developing good citizens is perhaps the greatest role of our educational system. It is fundamental to our economy, government, and society. Anything less in undemocratic and un-American. #CivXNow

"Instead of banning speech, teachers should be encouraged to avoid charges of 'ideological indoctrination' or bias by consciously showing different sides of an issue — something sites like @AllSidesNow and @procon_org make easy." bridgealliance.us/proposal_to_ba…



It's official, folks. This is a very interesting gig! Never in my life have I worked in an organization so committed to both the power of ideas and to the implementation and testing of these ideas to make progress in real life. kansasleadershipcenter.org/team/sam-smith…
