Signature keynote: The Process of Growing a High Performance School

Keys to growing a culture that enables ALL to succeed

It all starts with you. Personal skill sets drive achievement, and every leader and teacher is the variable in their own room. From there Coach walks the audience through the things that move a school: knowing the personalities on your team and in your classrooms, building trust and love on purpose rather than by accident, understanding the economic and gender realities students bring through the door, setting expectations that only the leader can set, and moving a school from good to great by working smart as well as hard. It ends where it began: being a world changer is 100% up to you.

Formats

Conference keynotes and breakout sessions. Back-to-school convocations for a whole district. Leadership retreats for administrative teams. Half-day and full-day workshops that turn the keynote into practice. Coach has trained and spoken across the country, presented several times at the Texas superintendents' mid-winter conference, and has worked with entire networks of principals brought together in one place.

Who books him

Superintendents who want their whole district to hear the same message on the first day back. Conference organizers who want a speaker who has done the work himself. Leadership teams planning a retreat they can put to use the following week.
