Evan Robb

This workshop is a combination of humor, nostalgia, and change.  Evan takes your staff on a journey and highlights 7 traditions that many hold near and dear but need to go. Learn how to challenge some of these traditions and strategies to bring about effective change for staff and students.

This keynote brings stories of inspiration, triumph, and failures to your team.  Hear the journey of an experienced principal who shares what has helped him find success and the failures he made along the way; both allow your staff to reflect, feel affirmation, and learn some things to avoid. Tap into your potential, be bold, and embrace the challenges and opportunities of leadership.

Evan shares a story of triumph, setbacks, and redemption. TeamMakers empowers central office staff, school administrators, and teachers to collaborate and communicate their educational hopes and dreams. When these stakeholders work as a team and deepen their understanding of each other’s stories, they tap into their creative thinking, talent, and innovative ideas to bring about positive changes throughout a district. To develop this culture of courage and respect for diverse ideas, Evan will offer specific suggestions for getting started, moving forward, and enhancing the effectiveness of your team.

Through story and images, Evan will share his thinking on the impact of mindset on personal and professional growth. Disrupting your routine, letting go of what’s holding you back, and how you view change all impact your decisions, choices, and success. Evan will challenge the status quo and challenge your staff to reflect on their work patterns and the changes they can make to get new and better results.  This keynote is not about learning something new; it is focused on reminding you of what you may have forgotten.

Based on Evan’s TEDx talk. Evan shares a personal journey of hope, optimism, and the value of living and leading with passion. As we grow older we often lose sight of the daring and fearlessness we had when we were young.  Help your team recapture daring and the conditions that need to be in place to find the greatness that is in each of us.

Evan, through story and personal experience, shares the importance of establishing a positive school culture and climate. Attendees will learn eight specific strategies you can start right away to lead change to create an environment staff want to work in and a school student’s want to attend.
