Challenge: Creating a Team for Success
Imagine if you will...educators working together in a positive environment, sharing ideas, taking risks, supporting one another, resolving conflicts face to face, and treating students, parents, administrators and each other with respect.

Positive attitudes and a commitment to cooperation are essential to the success of any team--at work or at home. Excellent keynote.
Everybody Thinks They Can Do My Job, But Nobody Wants It!

Successful administrators must address the need for better communication, the demand for higher quality and the cry for consistent leadership.

Life Would Be Easy, If it Weren't for Other People!
Challenge: Dealing with Difficult People
Life is full of difficult people, situations and demands, but we never quite learn how to live or work with them. This fast-paced, entertaining session explores the differences between men and women, touches on marriage and parenting, and then moves into the workplace, describing the whiner, the tattler, the gossiper, the complainer and the employee who says "that's not my job." Though humorous and motivational, this presentation is full of information and techniques that can be applied immediately to home and work to help build better relationships, open lines of communication and enjoy life a little bit more. When educators can begin to positively communicate with each other and parents, students can only benefit!
The Art of Positive Parent Teacher Conferences
Challenge: Better Communication Between Teachers and Parents
Many of us as teachers never took college courses on communicating with parents. And as many teachers know, your first difficult parent conference can be enough to scare you into never wanting to do one again. In this insightful presentation, Vicki shares techniques to empower teachers to conduct positive and beneficial conferences with any parent they may come in contact with. Learn how to take control of every conference and make it become a WINNING situation!
Self Esteem and the Six-Second Secret
Challenge: Developing a Personal Foundation for Student Success
Self-esteem is much more than simply feeling good about oneself. People with high self-esteem are accountable for their own actions, accept responsibility for their performance, behavior, and attitudes, and treat others with dignity and respect. One of the most popular presentations within the Challenge Series, the profoundly simple "six-second secret" can dramatically impact a teacher's day-to-day communication patterns that characterize their classrooms. Learn the powerful three-step approach that can change any student's difficult behavior into a WINNING ATTITUDE!
