Presenting in the Educational Community
A positive school culture is necessary to connect educators with their students. Student accountability and performance thrive in the right environment. Working with great educators gives me a front row seat to the outstanding strategies inside the school, as well as the challenges educators face each day. Teachers hold the key to the connection with our kids, yet their efforts are the least recognized. When teachers connect with kids, performance improves.
Students are amazing; working with all types of kids from all types of backgrounds has definitely made me a better person. There isn't anything I enjoy more than to work with kids and to show them that they are capable of achieving their dreams.
Presenting in the Corporate Environment
In my corporate experience, I have seen it all. I have managed salespeople when performance was great and unfortunately when performance was lacking. Today's economic world is a very challenging place for businesses to thrive. Change is the new norm, however, dealing with change is hard for most individuals. We need to coach our staff through these times. Getting the most out of your employees will lead to great performance. A person will always give you the best they know how.
