Dancing in the Rain offers a lively and accessible guide aimed at helping education leaders thrive under pressure by developing the inner strengths of mindfulness and self-compassion, expressing emotions wisely, and maintaining a clear focus on the values that matter most. Jerome T. Murphy, a scholar and former dean who has written and taught about the inner life of education leaders, argues that the main barrier to thriving as leaders is not the outside pressures we face, but how we respond to them inside our minds and hearts. In this concise volume, Murphy draws on a combination of Eastern contemplative traditions and Western psychology, as well as his own experience and research in the field of education leadership. He presents a series of exercises and activities to help educators take discomfort more in stride, savor the joys and satisfactions of leadership work, and thrive as effective leaders guided by heartfelt values. Every day, education leaders find themselves swamped in a maelstrom of pressures that add to the complex challenges of educating all students to a high level. With humor and compassion, Dancing in the Rain shows educators how to lead lives of consequence and purpose in the face of life’s inescapable downpours.

Failure isn’t getting knocked down. It’s not trying to get back up again. Drew Sellers had everything a successful hockey career offered: the hot wife, the huge house, superstar fame. Now he’s alone, rattling around his empty life like the beer bottles in his recycling bin. Until a near-perfect stranger drops a bomb. Drew has a 12-year-old daughter he never knew about. Her mother is dying. And her only remaining family, “Auntie P”, looks at him like she knows exactly what he is: a washed-up winger with a bum knee and zero parenting skills. Between her demanding job, her sister’s illness, and her frightened niece, Peyton Watt has enough on her plate without Drew underfoot—an unemployed ex-jock who spends too much time drinking and living in the past. Drew’s definitely no father of the year, but as time passes, Peyton witnesses the re-emergence of the qualities that made him a star athlete—a man rising to the challenge. A man getting up one more time than he’s knocked down. A man who’s remembering what it’s like to win—especially her heart. Note: This title was previous published.

When a tragic car accident took the life of our twenty-one year old daughter, Maia, we began a journey that has been paradoxically the most heart-wrenching and spiritually uplifting period of our lives. Learning to Dance in the Rain chronicles the first year of this journey. Through pain and despair to renewed energy and spiritual discovery, we write about the many ways in which we are finding strength and inspiration to carry on. With help from family and friends, a variety of religious/spiritual traditions, encounters with the natural world, and, most profoundly, continued connection with our beloved daughter, we are learning that death is as much a beginning as it is an end and that pain can be a catalyst for personal & spiritual growth. It is our greatest hope that sharing our story in this way will help others find strength to face the storms that come their way and live their lives with greater awareness. www.learningtodanceintherain.net
