I provide workshops to educators in the areas of classroom management, student engagement / motivation and school discipline. I currently have over 180 five star reviews on my Facebook fan page. My seminars are dynamic, high energy and challenge the traditional take on âbehavior problemâ kids.
As a kid I struggled with severe ADHD and reading difficulties. Those were the foundation of acting out in class. I saw bad or stupid as my only options. I believed my peers would laugh at me one way or the other so I made sure bad was it.
In 2001 I entered addiction recovery and celebrated 20
years of sobriety on 12/23/01. The single most important lesson learned is that if I am willing to change me I will change everything around me. This concept is the foundation of my workshop.
I am a certified teacher, keynote speaker & author. The 2nd edition of my best seller, That One Kid, released in august. Others include: Watch Your Mouth, Discipline with Dignity, & Power Struggles.
