Do you…
- Wonder how you can inspire your team during staff meetings?
- Dream of getting everyone engaged and showing up on time?
- Want to make time to personally meet with each teacher to discuss her goals?
- Wonder how to translate these meetings into execution and hold your teachers accountable?
- Wish that your teachers had crystal clear communication with everyone, knowing exactly what their responsibilities are every day with no misunderstandings?
- Wish your veteran teachers could share a little more of their knowledge and expertise with everyone else on the team?
Here are some shocking statistics for you:
11 million meetings are held in the US each day
63% of meetings are conducted without a pre-planned agenda
Over 33% of people that join meetings found them to be unproductive
The most common complaints from teachers about meetings are:
- No decision made
- Poor preparation
- Disorganized
- Individuals dominating
- Could have been communicated through email
- Sidebar conversations
- Stretched out longer than necessary
Effective Meetings are the ones…
Where teachers readily share ideas, and everyone offers input and strategizes together.
That is a delight to walk into and a pleasure to walk away from after.
Where teachers readily share ideas, and everyone offers input and strategizes together.
And best of all?
EVERYONE takes action
without you running around after them for days or weeks on end.
These are the kinds of meetings you NEED
If you want to continue to build your school.

and you don’t need to invest dozens of hours!
These strategies can be implemented at

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I can’t keep up with the course?
Don’t worry, this is an online course that you can take at your own pace from anywhere.
Will I be able to figure this out if I don’t know technology?
I designed the course with the least tech possible. Everything is really laid out for you on a silver platter.
There is no complicated software – just log-in and watch the videos at your own pace.
Should you have any difficulties – I have a team of people waiting to help you.
Will this really help me follow up with my team and hold them accountable?
Yes! Yes! The strategies that I have laid out work. I’ve tested it out with other schools and directors. Trust the system and execute on it. It will work.
Can’t I find all this information on Google?
Maybe; however, if you could find the answers, you would have found them already, and you would have implemented them in your school as well.
But have you?
What EMB will do for you is provide you with the road map you need to plan, lead, and succeed at every meeting.
It will provide you with the support you need to implement these strategies.
We all need support – and that is why the Discover ED Directors Lounge is one of the most supportive communities for progressive EC directors. Many of you are already part of it, and during the duration of this course – I’ll be supporting you through it.
What if I take the course and I don’t LOVE it?
I invite you to try these strategies in your school for your next meeting. All I ask is you try.
Try the huddle or design thinking methods, or even use the agenda guidelines and eectively prepare for your meeting. This will ensure action-taking.
I built this course over YEARS of sitting through hundreds of meetings and then studying how to make them more effective. I’ve tested out these strategies and ideas, and as you can see from my many happy clients – they WORK!
This course isn’t just about having an effective meeting (though you will have that). This course is about truly understanding how to reach your teacher in a way that will drive them to take action. It’s about you making behavioral changes and bringing that growth into your school. And if I can help you leverage this to make more of an impact in your school, reach more children, and connect deeper with your team, – that’s a job well done!
