Today I'm talking with Hannah Stevens the author of Borneo Experience. Hannah and I talk about her writing, traveling, and her desire to help protect endangered wildlife. This is episode 298 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, my audio podcast. Here is a little about Borneo Experience…
For the past several years Jeanie Williams, former war correspondent-turned-wildlife activist has been traveling the world reporting on the plight of the wildlife on our planet. After having been on assignment in New Zealand, South Island, she was ready to return home when her boss at WorldCorp News in New York City contacted her and asked if she would travel to Sabah, Borneo to report on pet trafficking of the wildlife in that region. When he told her about orangutan babies being ripped from their mother’s arms, she could not resist. Once she arrives, however, she finds the problem more complex than she ever imagined and the powerful trafficking cartel is again trying to thwart her efforts to tell the world about the cruelty they inflict on the animals.
This is the fourth in a series of mysteries by Hannah Stevens based on her world travels. The first was Murder on Safari, set in Kenya, Africa, then Iceberg Murders, which takes place on the Antarctic Peninsula and most recently, Bird House Adventures, based in New Zealand, South Island.
Hannah Stevens, author, is also a freelance travel writer, writing for publications locally and nationwide under her real name Elaine Mays. After a long career as a software design engineer with several large corporations, Elaine wrote and has published seven novels under the pen name of Hannah Stevens; The President’s Wife, the sequel Madam POTUS, She Sleeps with Dogs, Murder on Safari, The Iceberg Murders, Bird House Adventure in New Zealand, and now Borneo Experience.
She is also a cancer survivor of nine years. She lives with her two dogs, a Brittany spaniel, Lily and a Weimaraner, Sophia - in Phoenix, Arizona. You may visit her author web site at www.hannahstevensauthor.com She also has a very inspiring cancer blog; www.alittlerain.com and has published The Diary of a Breast Cancer Patient. You also might want to read her recently published memoir - Battle of the Wills.
All of these books and e-books are available on Amazon.com and some are available through Barnes and Noble and Nook.

Tre Gammage notes, “As an entrepreneur, podcaster, and speaker my purpose is to make it easier to do what you love.” This is episode 297 of Teaching Learning Leading K-12 where Tre and I talk about living your dream, consulting, his book Every Decision Counts, and The Dash Podcast.
Tre was born and raised in South Bend Indiana where football was his first love, and it carried him to his first dream - To play division 1 college football!
He recalls that his dream taught him a lot, “all we did was lose and half the time I rode the bench. Fortunately, while I didn’t fit on the field I found my way off the field - Committing my time to diversity affairs, global perspectives, and decision making. These experiences made me well rounded and helped me realize my ambition to add value to everybody I have a conversation with. I didn’t decide to chase my dream until one of my professor’s asked, If money was no object what would you do with your life?”
Tre says, “When you see someone live their dream it makes you want to help them reach that
dream or live your own. Every day I wake up and do what I love to and leave a blueprint
for the next generation. “
Tre founded The Gammage Consulting Group. Its primary service is helping K – 12 schools implement social and emotional learning programs. He uses a 5 step process that takes you from managing multiple behavior systems to one school wide framework that supports growth
in Students and Educators. He also recently released Every Decision Counts: 8 Lessons I Wish They Taught Me in School. He is the producer and host of The Dash Podcast. Since 2015 Tre has spoken to over 100 audiences totaling more than 10,000 people.
Lots to learn today!

Ranked in the Top 30 Global Gurus in Education, Barbara has dedicated her life to raising the level of rigor and motivation for professional educators and students alike. What differentiates Barbara’s 28 books are her easily executable concrete examples based on decades of experience as a teacher, professor, and consultant. Barbara’s dedication to education was inspired in her early years by her parents, Bob and Rose. Her father’s doctorate and lifetime career as a professor taught her the importance of professional training. Her mother’s career as school secretary shaped Barbara’s appreciation of the effort all staff play in the education of every child.
Barbara has taught early childhood, elementary, middle, and high school students and has served as an educational consultant for three publishing companies. She holds a master’s degree in school administration and was certified as both a teacher and a school principal in North Carolina.

She recently left her position at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to write and speak full-time.
In addition to speaking at state, national, and international conferences, she also regularly presents workshops for teachers and administrators in elementary, middle, and high schools. Her workshops are lively and engaging and filled with practical information. Her most popular topics include:
