Episode 58: iPrincipal update with Mark Wilson

June 12, 2015

This is my third of an on-going conversation with Dr. Mark Wilson about his book in the works called iPrincipal.

Check out our earlier talks at Episode 48 (The Introduction), and Episode 53 (Intentional).

Also, you can find out more about Mark and his focus on leadership at Episode 8 as well as his website.

The iPrincipal...today's fully prepared and highly effective principal is inspirational.

While the iPrincipal is expected to be an instructional leader (to be discussed in another episode), to lead effective schools, principals also need to be inspirational leaders.

Inspirational Principals excel in:

1. Seeing Connections

2. Sharing Ideas Clearly

3. Seeking Opportunities

I think that you will find Mark's thoughts engaging and thought provoking.

Enjoy!

Episode 55: Capturing a Child’s Heart with Flip Flippen

May 15, 2015

Flip is focused on helping kids and teachers be successful by changing behaviors and attitudes.

He is the founder and chairman of the Flippen Group, “an educator training, corporate talent, and team development company.” He is also the author of The Flip Side: Break Free of the Behaviors That Hold You Back.

“Flip developed the theory of Overcoming Personal Constraints (OPC) to accelerate personal effectiveness by identifying and breaking debilitating behavior patterns that limit performance and hinder growth.”

“The theory and practice of Overcoming Personal Constraints are being used in board rooms, locker rooms, and briefing rooms to improve individual and team performance around the world.”

On today’s show, Flip connects his thoughts to creating better relationships in the school. He and his team work with the staff and students to understand how to identify those behaviors in the school house that keep the adults and students at odds with each other. He talks about the factors that need to be addressed to create a better school climate that will help adults and students be successful.

I think that you will really enjoy this conversation.

Flip is an amazing individual who has developed a way to reach out to many and help them overcome bad behaviors. After listening I encourage you to check out more about Flip and The Flippen Group.
