Short and Useful

As a 4th year teacher, I agree with everything mentioned in this book. I love how honest the author is and how well he explained his reasoning. All educators can benefit from reading this short book.

Meets expectations

Information as expected by the title. Worth careful consideration even for non-teachers to improve how we coach and mentor anyone.

surprisingly effective

This book inspired me to shift my parenting and interaction paradigm with clients based on practical approaches & language. Very happy with it.

Loved it!

As a teacher, I found the book a “must listen to” if you are wanting to reignite before a new school year. Wonderful and practical insight!

Great is better than good.

Easy to listen to and it makes sense! We have teachers doing this in our buildings!! We have to support/train those who are not great (don’t ignore them) so that our great teachers will continue to be great in our building
