WWKDD: Everyday Is an Interview

As a Science/STEM consultant in K–12 academic settings across New Jersey, I’ve spent years working closely with school administrators who are deeply committed to improving their schools, supporting their staff, and enriching their students’ learning experiences. Despite their dedication, many face challenges stemming from a lack of understanding in certain areas. That’s where I come in.

One day, during a discussion with an administrator, they shared something unexpected: “When I’m unsure about what to do, I ask myself, ‘What Would Kevin Doyle Do?’ (WWKDD).” At first, I thought it was just a lighthearted comment. But now, administrators are wearing wristbands emblazoned with WWKDD. This simple phrase has become a reminder of the impact we can have on others through our actions, decisions, and leadership.

This experience reinforced a powerful truth: Everyday Is an Interview. Whether we realize it or not, our actions inspire those around us. People are constantly observing, learning from what we do—and sometimes, what we don’t do.

So, as we step into this new year, let’s act with purpose and intention. Let’s inspire others to rise higher by showing them what it means to lead, care, and do the right thing, even when it’s hard.

Happy New Year! Go out there and make a difference.

Learn from the Past

Life has a way of testing us, often when we least expect it. But the key to resilience is simple: get up one more time than you fall.

Mistakes are inevitable, but they’re also opportunities in disguise—if we choose to see them that way. For years, I didn’t. When I made mistakes, I would let embarrassment and regret take over. I’d dwell on what went wrong and beat myself up, replaying the question, What was I thinking? This negative cycle kept me stuck. I wasn’t learning or growing; I was just spiraling.

Recently, I’ve shifted my mindset. Instead of focusing on what I was thinking, I now ask myself: What did I learn? This change has been transformative. I’ve accepted that I’m an imperfect human—sometimes too human—and that’s okay. By embracing my flaws and using my mistakes as stepping stones, I’ve started growing in ways I never thought possible.

The difference is night and day. When I stopped punishing myself for being human and started looking for lessons, my confidence, resilience, and sense of purpose grew.

I encourage you to give this approach a try. The next time you stumble, don’t focus on the fall—focus on the lesson. See how it feels to grow instead of spiral.

Stay strong. Stay healthy. Keep improving.
