Why I Created This Guide
I grew up being told I wasn’t smart.
I was bullied, doubted, and later went through repeated layoffs as an adult. Every time I had to start over, it felt like those old voices were right.
What helped me was not more pressure.
It was a few simple moves I could use to:
-Break things down
-Take one small step
-Build confidence over time
Now I help students and the adults who support them do the same.
This guide turns those lessons, along with the leadership tools I use, into something you can pick up and use with your students right away.
