Behind The Scenes Look At Creating A Book

Daniel Bauer is an unorthodox Ruckus Maker who has mentored thousands of school leaders through his Better Leaders Better Schools blog, books, podcasts, and powerful coaching experiences. Mastermind: Unlocking Talent Within Every School Leader is a book that reimagines what professional development for school administrators looks like in order to meet the needs of all school leaders who currently feel isolated and overwhelmed.

As an editor, she enjoys brainstorming and outlining new book ideas, bringing clarity and purpose to prose, and helping authors find resilience in their writing journey. When she's not working on books, you can find Ariel doing yoga, playing piano, beekeeping, or reading with a glass of wine. She lives in Chattanooga, TN, with her husband and their rescue dogs, Enyo and Tenaya. Show Highlights AASA and Corwin welcome a different kind of leadership voice.

"A lot of school leadership books are for changing your school in some way. They're about helping your students, which this is, but this is really for you (Ruckus Maker). This is for you as a school leader to become your best version of yourself and that's something that you don't see in a lot of school leadership books that are out there. I've read a ton of them. I've published dozens of them. I know that for a fact this is not a message that you see in a lot of other places." -Ariel Curry Full Transcript Danny Bauer Transcript Ariel Curry's Resources & Contact Info: Ariel Curry Editorial: Ariel Curry Mastermind: Unlocking Talent Within Every School Leader Twitter Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Looking for more?

A Leadership Wake Up Call

FuelEd was founded by Megan Marcus in 2012 on the principle that relationships drive learning. While training as a therapist and serving as a researcher for the book The Social Neuroscience of Education by Dr. Louis Cozolino, Marcus recognized the parallels between the teaching and the counseling professions: both are founded on connection, both could promote human development. She knew she was on to something. Her action: pursue a Master's degree in Education, Policy, and Management from Harvard University to explore whether elements of therapists' professional training could be translated for an educational audience. Shortly after graduation, Marcus incorporated FuelEd as a non-profit organization and launched her organization with a three-day pilot training for 10 teachers at Houston's YES Prep Southwest. Since then, FuelEd has partnered with over one hundred K-12 schools, organizations, and educator preparation programs across the country to help educators develop the emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and attunement necessary to build secure relationships that drive learning and development. Show Highlights Destiny's story in changing lives with new tools and skills sets to overcome adversity. Student's behavior is an invitation to consider, not react to. Tips to avoid promoting disenfranchising systems you wish to eradicate. How to be a whole leader/whole person with the emotional demands of the job. Put co-regulation as opposed to self-regulation practices at the center to create an ecosystem of support. Megan shares Jedi level skill sets of Empathic listening. Learn how to grow emotional intelligence and secure relationships with Fuel Ed. Mirror areas you can grow safe emotional intelligence. "If you have teachers whose cups are full, who are feeling more competent and able to provide that support for the students. Otherwise things come out sideways and you're putting out fires constantly trying to take care of everyone. It's something that creates more efficiency, but it's really hard to get started." -Megan Marcus Full Transcript Megan Marcus Transcript Megan Marcus' Resources & Contact Info: FuelEd Schools fueledschools.org/blbs Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Looking for more?
