Whether you're a teacher, a parent, or a leader - we all need others around us to do certain things we need them to do.

Things like:

- show up

- cooperate

- execute

But most teachers, parents, and leaders come to my sessions because people aren't doing what they need them to do.

In this episode I share WHY that is, and 3 ways you can get past that.

In this episode I share the chapter of Bring Them Closer that speaks about the emotional suitcase filled with stories we may not realize we all carry with us.

This impacts our relationships and our ability to create the life, home, and classroom we desire. The great news is that there is hope to create it!

Have a listen and see what's possible.

Bring Them Closer audio book is being released soon!

Brave - where we make connection our goal at all costs. This is what I'm talking about with Debbie Pearmain on my Brave Podcast this week. We need to be brave to create healthy spaces because there's a lot of resistance to this.Leaders are fearful of what looking at how their spaces are doing might reveal.Employees are skeptical of yet another attempt to create change that feels like empty words.People are tired of yet another, "I'm sorry".Kids and students feel powerless to make changes in schools.Teachers feel there's too much red tape to create what they desire. We need to be brave to face what we're all thinking and facing with courage.
