"The Breakthrough Coach did not just help organize my office, it helped organize my life. Principals believe if they work longer hours they can get the job done, and this is simply not the case. I was seriously considering leaving the principalship as a result of the excessive hours, lack of job satisfaction, and stress. The Breakthrough Coach did what no principal preparation program has ever done and that is to clearly define the role of principal. If you believe that true student achievement and school improvement will not occur without principals spending more time working with teachers in the classroom, you need The Breakthrough Coach."
Thomas Gravel, principal
 Dilworth Glyndon Felton High School, Glyndon, MN

Seminar participants attend in teams: principals/administrators with their secretaries/assistants. Secretary participants say they've learned:
  • "How to take requests and have completed details and how someone else's poor planning doesn't always have to become my emergency."
  • "Learning not to clutter and become more efficient."
  • "Principal getting organized doesn't necessarily mean I will be overloaded!"

It has allowed me to be out in the building on a regular basis, touching base with, and building relationships that will forward the development of my entire staff, while increasing the achievement of all students."
