You know it doesn't have to be this way.
You've had teaching moments that fulfilled and defined you. You know that the work you do matters: Helping kids become the best versions of themselves. But maybe, like me, you've felt that love, that passion, that joy of teaching being stifled. You've come home drained and defeated. In these moments, you have two choices:
- Give up
- Step up
In any school in the world, there are teachers who are thriving, no matter what the circumstances. They aren't superhuman. They simply approach their work differently. They know the right actions and attitudes for not just surviving, but thriving. You can learn them too.
In just 10 minutes a day, for 25 days, you can get your passion back.
Imagine starting your school day excited to step into your classroom.
Imagine knowing your day will have moments of stress, but knowing you can rise to the occasion.
Imagine feeling deep purpose for the work you do, knowing that every action you take positively
influences other lives.
This course will get you there.

Your Instructor
I'm a recovering quitter. A few years ago, after over a decade of teaching, I was so burned out I was ready to quit the profession.
The irony? As I wanted to quit, I was teaching one of our school's most impactful classes: Positive Psychology. I was helping my students change their lives with the science of happiness...but I wasn't practicing what I preached. So, I put my money where my mouth is and applied everything I knew.
Today, I love education more than I ever have before -- and I get to share this knowledge as an educator, speaker, and author. Now, I'm ready to share it with you.
