Bringing Out the Best in Yourself and Others - 30-60 minutes
Often, we adults think of another as a different animal with lots of problems and difficult to deal with; they bug us; they are different -- as if they are "frog-like"; we just do not want to be around them. But, our job as leaders is to stop, turn around, bend down, and kiss a frog; and many of these frogs will turn into beautiful princes or princesses. We will be enhancing the lives of others as well as our own.

Participants will learn how they have an enormous impact on the atmosphere in which they work.
Making Anger a Positive - 40-60 minutes
We have a responsibility to solve problems, not create or continue problems. Even if our students, colleagues, or parents are angry, we have a duty to help them in a positive, caring manner so that we can solve the problem. Some things that will be addressed:
• How can I best send a positive message to our customers? •
• How do I turn negative confrontation into positive problem solving? •
• What skills do I need to maintain my composure while under fire? •
Bah! Humbug!
We teach who we are. Can we make a difference? Do we celebrate all children? What messages do our words and action send?
Our mood is contagious!

"Oh, yeh? Who says so?" Understand how children grow into adults. This creative, energetic, and humorous speech will bring back memories of adolescence -- the joys and trials, the happiness and sadness, the acceptance and rejection that each of us encountered on the road to becoming an adult.
Learn what research says and what we need to do to help youngsters travel through (you can't go around) this critical stage of life. As parents, educators, and, yes, as adults, we need to discover and rediscover this beautiful and dynamic age.
How do Middle Schools help?
Humor in Education The kids learn from us.
