Training Topics
Dr. Jones is able to mold his presentations to meet the unique needs of individual conferences (administrators, teachers, counselors, board members, etc.), schools (elementary, middle, and high schools or districts), and other organizations looking to recharge their work environment. The three presentations outlined below are three of his most popular topics.
“Leveraging High Impact Strategies & Leaving a Lasting Legacy”
Seminar Description
In the words of Dr. Hal Urban, “If you can reach em’ you can teach em.” It is true, when students realize how much you genuinely care about them, they will work incredibly hard to not let you down. The research on human performance, growth mind sets, self-efficacy, and motivation overwhelmingly point to the amazing potential cultivated within positive adult-student relationships within a school setting. In this presentation all of these ideas are highlighted. More importantly, lots of strategies will be shared that have proven to produce the greatest impact towards relationship building with students.

“Stamping Out Toxic Behavior to Transform School Culture”
Seminar Description

Unfortunately, just a small number of toxic adults can create 90% of the drama and literally implode the implementation efforts of the best education initiatives. It’s time to recapture YOUR school culture! Jeff has led this type of courageous, transformational work in the trenches as a teacher, counselor, principal, and educational consultant.

“Don’t just survive at work… thrive!”
Seminar Description
Burnout is not just a risk for seasoned employees working in a stressful environment. Some of our best and brightest are experiencing signs of burnout in their first year of employment. However, when simple but purposeful adjustments are made in unison, a wave of positive action begins to engulf individual employees and lifts an organization to a totally different level of success! The excitement of a beginning employee doesn’t need to wane after six months. It is time to stop living by self-preservation mottos like “It’s not so bad if others have it worse.” Let’s recapture that excitement and make sure it is the norm every day of the year.
Workshop Learning Objectives
Reveal the most common individual and organizational factors that lead to burnout.
Identify the physical and psychological signs of burnout.
Analyze the most common organizational reactions to burnout.
