Leaders know communication is essential. But we don’t always understand the nuances of effective communication. Therefore, our teams end up occupying the same spaces without truly connecting. This leads to mistrust and missed opportunities. I wrote “Overcoming Education” to help.

This work we get to do is infinitely important. But it is not easy. I wrote “Overcoming Education” to help.

The book is designed to help leaders access their best thinking—so they can break complex challenges into small and solvable steps.

I’m still processing the awesomeness that was #MESPA2025. 🔥🔥🔥 I learned so much, and also had the chance to share two all-new sessions based on my latest book, “Overcoming Education.”

Special thanks to Michelle Krell & the MESPA team on an incredible conference. One of the best I’ve attended. 💯🙏🤩

If you want to ensure teachers thrive, provide them meaningful support. But don’t stop there. It’s critical leaders learn how to show up in a manner that’s actually helpful. I wrote “Overcoming Education” to help.

I wrote a book to help educators make the difference they aspire to make. (Because there are a lot of things pulling us in different directions.) The book was recently released and it would be a meaningful gift for yourself, team, or an educator you care about.
