TESTIMONIALS:
"I want to convey my thanks to you for the opportunity and the privilege to have taken your class this past semester. While the course was challenging, I genuinely enjoyed meeting you and learning a number of key structural elements necessary in completing a doctoral course. My remaining hope is that I will have the opportunity to meet you in person someday."
---Student in graduate course
After doing a book study on "Communicate and Motivate", Piper Bognar (Superintendent in Michigan) said:
* Engagement by the administrators was extremely high. There were NO lulls in conversation. Everyone had lively discussions and could relate immediately to situations in their buildings. One funny moment was when we did a reading protocol of “Paragraph, Sentence, Word.” I had each group highlight an impactful paragraph, sentence, and word from the chapter we had just finished, and one group kept giggling. I told them to just come out with it, and it turns out they picked the word ‘panties’ from the “Don’t get your panties in a bunch” words of wisdom. I had to pass that on, and they knew you would appreciate it! Getting to know you before reading and studying the book together was amazing. We thought of you often and I think were even more motivated as a result. Thank you again!
