Episode #387
Too often those of us in education forget one simple idea about ourselves: we matter. Join Ted as he explores the ways in which we matter and he reminds us how impactful we actually all are and how to put up guardrails to ensure we are engaged for ourselves and others. The episode ends with advice he gathered from over 40 educational professionals to help us all remember our IMPACT!
Episode #386
What principle guides you when you lead others? From today forward it will be the RIDE principle. A keen recognition of your influence with others. Listen as Ted take's the lessons from horseback riding and applies it to how we should manage our classrooms, staff rooms, and board rooms. Because humans and horses literally share a heartbeat when together and so do we when we are leading groups. How we act is how they'll react! R: Resilient I: Interdependent D: Determination E: Enthusiastic
Episode #385
Hey Hey! Ted has written another book and on this episode he describes why listening to a nudge helped him complete his first full leadership book. A book filled with practical and applicable ways to approach life. Go To Your Storm is an inspirational, personal growth, and leadership development book written by veteran educator and coach Ted Neitzke. Dedicated to equipping young people, new leaders, and even experienced individuals with a resilient approach to life, the book blends authentic personal anecdotes from Neitzke’s decades-long career in education and coaching athletics and people. The six chapters serve as a life and leadership framework for everyone. Pre-sale has already begun and pre-sale orders will be autographed and include a free gift. Book can be pre-ordered here.
Episode #384
Why do so many people struggle on teams and working together? Well, there is no simple answer -- but there is a process. Join Ted on this episode as he brings you a practice to help elevate your teams and support your leadership while either leading or participating on a collaborative team. Collaboration is not compliance and too often we ignore all the social ways teams can fail. Clarity, clear expectations, and telling the team what we "do" and "don't" do -- will increase outcomes and engagement.
Episode #383
Summer is an amazing time. How can we utilize this summer to reinforce and recognize the efforts of educators? Ted shares with us the research on everything teachers - from hours worked to the money they spend in their classroom. The call to action on this episode is to utilize the summer months to increase staff engagement with a few simple tools that will elevate educators! Get yourself a pen, some notecards and Forever stamps - -cause we're going to intentionally impact those we serve alongside!
