Leadership Workshop

This workshop is for school and district level administrators and can be customized for a half or full day

Connect The Pieces - Be decisive, don’t underestimate yourself, see the big picture and focus on the details. We're going to connect the pieces of this amazing profession and work to have better satisfaction at school while continuing to build capacity with all stakeholders. Go farther, faster and have more fun while doing it.

Every Problem Has a Solution - When you’re a leader, you need to solve all the problems. Not just the ones you want to solve, all the problems. Let's tackle any problems you have and build a framework and system to do the same when you're back on your own in the building.

New Economy, New Jobs, Are You Ready

The world our kids are growing up in is so vastly different than what we experienced, and it's even different than five years ago. We have a new economy, with new jobs, that take an entirely new skill set in order for our children to be successful - are you ready? Learn what's happening out in the world and some very simple ways to get started at your school now!

Relationships Matter Most Workshop

We all know it, relationships matter most and before you can do anything, you must have strong relationships. Colleagues, students and the community - they're all important and you're going to walk away with new ideas and strategies to build stronger relationships!

Boost engagement!

Build culture!

Create connections!

And have a stronger team!

Deep Dive Workshop

Education is hard, really hard. We’re going to dive deep, we’re going to get a little vulnerable, we’re going to grow and have fun while doing it.

This fully customizable Educational Deep Dive can be one hour, three hours long, and also built out for a two or three day session with your team.

We’ll talk about the differences of seeing the people you work with as a family, or as a team. How to have those conversations that might be making you a little bit uncomfortable, but are so necessary in order to move your organization forward. We’ll look inside each and every person and make a commitment to name your growth area, and come up with an action plan for success.

Don’t let small mundane problems keep you from doing the real work that you’re meant to be doing. Don’t think outside of the box – get rid of the box.
You have what it takes and I believe in you!

The Time Is Now

Stop talking about what you want to do and start doing what you want to do, the time is now. We’re going to dive deep, we’re going to get personal, we’re going to make some changes. You’re going to walk away with strategies that will help you focus on what’s most important, and a plan to implement those strategies with your team for bigger results! You’re going to laugh, you’re going to think, you’re going to be challenged, you’re going to realize that you have what it takes, who’s ready!

Kids Deserve It

Kids Deserve It is a simple yet profound message and it’s time that we all join the conversation! Connect with kids, integrate innovative new technology practices into your curriculum that students will love!

Rediscover the power of literacy and how it changes lives!
We’ll come up with a plan to facilitate hands on learning that kids LOVE and will get your students ready for all the opportunities that are currently available in our world.
And, remember why you got into this profession and also how important your own family is. If we don’t take care of ourselves, we’re not going to be any good for our school team.

No more excuses, it’s time to start making it happen for your students, staff, parents and entire community - I know you can do it and I can’t wait to help you make it happen!
