1. What Teachers Say about “Lead Like the Legends” (p.2)
I can’t begin to think of all the incredible motivating speakers I havewitnessed
live in person fromJoel Osteen at the Baltimore Civic Center, to Tony Robbins in
Vegas, to David Steinberg today. Dr. Steinberg’s show really hit home as to why I
love what I do! I caughtmyself tearing up on a few occasions dueto the stories
that really hit home. I know I will utilize whatI got from today by recognizing the
leadership attributes as I deliver my lessons in class.
What a fun way to be reminded about the importanceof the work wedo.
I drovehome thinking about teamwork and my team.
I loved the diverse examples he used musically and how the music connected to
an idea. I can recall his leadership lessons becauseof the music legends he tied
them to.
When I got home I called my mom to tell her aboutthe presentation and it just
reminded me how importantour job is and how cool it is to be able to make a
difference in so many lives.
I was at dinner with somefriends this evening and I was so excited to sharewith
them all about the many things he talked about. What a terrific way to begin the
week and it reminded me the importance of an educator in a child’s life.
His examples wereones that I myself have in my head of great teachers and ones
I hope in years to come, my students and parents would say about me. Itreally
reinforces why wegot into this profession.
Overall…A+presentation - I would recommend it to anyone.
Ithelped me to be reflective and made me take a step back and think.
The meeting energy left me in awe of how Dr. Steinberg made connections with
music, thinking, co-operativeconversations, famous rolemodels, and teachers.
He truly values education at every level and continues to give at his greatest
capacity.” I walked away thinking: What am I doing in my own life that leaves a
breath of fresh air to others and leaves them feeling hopeful and more happy?
