  • How are you showing up? Robert reveals how leaders regulate the emotional experience for teachers and students. 
  • Robert shares how to overcome the dog eat dog culture and climate to win over incredibly hard to work with individuals.
  • Don’t take it personally, but use it personally.  Sharpen the saw by exercising constant, continual self-improvement. 
  • Robert explains how emotional reactive triggers are influencing the goals we take into our interactions.
  • Robert’s essentials to consider when creating emotional lessons to shift our own moods to co-regulate with the learning community.
  • Make your interactions a place of sanctuary and you prime everyone to absorb new information and retain the wisdom you're offering.

“No matter what you do as a leader, you are never going to catch 100% of people in your influence net. It is a two-way street to dance and that dance requires a partnership. You can only show up authentic, genuine, earnest, honest.  Demonstrate, continue to model what you want to see in others and take that constant assessment.”

-Robert Schaefer
