Minnesota Student Council Conference

I just got back from BRRRR Minnesota. I had the opportunity to spend 2 days leading the Minnesota MS State Student Conference. About 200 MS students from all over the state of MN came together for “Round Up Leadership” and focused on developing their personal leadership skills. We looked at communication, personal leadership styles and focused on making a different back in our schools. Here are few snippets of our time together!

This is the largest group I have ever done Team Towers with-amazing!

South Carolina Student Council Conference

I LOVE the South! Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong part of the nation. This past Friday night I was the Keynote speaker for the South Carolina Student Council conference. The opening session was amazing! They had a neat glow stick dance, a step team perform and an ending like no other! The theme was G'Vegas and the students did a wonderful job of playing up the theme. After I spoke, there was a surprise visit...from none other than Elvis himself! It was wonderful! Thank you for having me as your speaker!

Where does time go?

Do you ever look at the calendar and think where does time go? I did that today! I realized it has been almost one month since my last blog and I asked myself that exact question…where does time go?

For me, the past month has flown by and I can say I have invested my time. I see time as the one thing EVERYONE has in common. We all have 24 hours in a day, the question is---how do we spend our 24 hours?

For me, I have spent the past month at leadership conferences (wahooo CADA), speaking to AVID educators, re-doing my website and getting ready to write my book. That is right, my first book and I am so excited. More to come as I dive into that project….

As for a leadership resource (as promised on this blog), let me share a wonderful on-line leadership store with you. As I have been speaking more and more to educators and sharing ways to teach interactive leadership, I realized everyone needs to know about CADA and the wonderful shopping store on their site.

This link is to CADA (a non-profit organization that supports Activities Directors and leadership teachers in CA and even nation wide). The site is:

feel free to look at all the great resources and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me and/or call CADA.


Until next time…. keep “Inspiring teens to achieve beyond the ordinary.”
