I’m looking for a severe behavior specialist to interview on the Wired Educator Podcast, especially someone with expertise in elementary schools.

As I speak with superintendents, principals, and teachers across the country, I keep hearing the same concern: severe student behaviors are increasing and schools are looking for practical solutions that work.

What systems, interventions, and supports should educators and leaders have in place? What are the most effective strategies for helping students while maintaining safe, positive learning environments?

If you know someone who would make an outstanding guest and help educators level up, please leave a comment or send me a message.

I’ve interviewed educational leaders from across the nation and around the world, and many are describing the same trend.

Who is the leading voice on severe student behavior that every educator should be listening to right now?

As we close one school year and begin planning for 2026-2027, many districts are already thinking about how they’ll set the tone for the year ahead.

Do you have your opening day keynote speaker? Are you looking to strengthen leadership, elevate culture, and reignite the passion that brought people into education in the first place?

I partner with school districts to help educators see the impact they have, recognize the greatness in those around them, and lead with greater purpose, clarity, and intention.

My keynotes and leadership experiences blend practical ideas, meaningful reflection, humor, and inspiration that people can put into action immediately. The goal isn’t just a great day. It’s creating momentum that lasts long after the event ends.

As an Apple Distinguished Educator, Google Certified Innovator, author, speaker, and Director of Innovation & Instruction, I’ve had the privilege of working with educators across the country who are committed to building schools where both students and adults thrive.

If you’re planning for 2026-2027, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect and learn about your goals.

Leaders don’t just check boxes. They check in. And that changes lives.
In leadership, it’s easy to get caught up in metrics and deliverables. But true leadership and great communication are rooted in authentic human connection.
A simple check-in can completely change everything. Great leaders don’t just broadcast information—they check in, listen deeply, and create a culture where people feel seen and valued. Connection is a two-way mission, and consistency builds trust.
Let’s make it a priority to look out for each other and keep the lines of communication open.
Who are you checking in on today? 👇

One of the top character traits of top leaders is their ability to build, authentic and strong relationships with others AND connect them with other awesome people. So wonderful! Building relationships with others is something I really value and encourage. I personally enjoy it. I don't do it with the mindset that I'll gain something later. I do it because I see something in that person that is enchanting or attractive or admirable, or something I want in my life. I just like people. I love it when other people expand their circles to include other people and make the connection. I read the following attachment in a newsletter by @JamesClear it is brilliant. #Leadership #Relationships #Speaker #Circle
