  • Michele Koper (Wisconsin) -- I love listening to your podcast every week. I've gotten so many ideas that I've been able to share with staff. After listening to your PD tips (which I completely agree with- especially the problem-solution topic), I just couldn't resist emailing about the meatloaf comparison. Instead of meatloaf, I like to think of it as a smoothie that I'm able to throw some greens into. Thought I'd just pass along a more appetizing visual :)
