UPDATES FROM TODD:

May 29, 2026

This is the time of the year to start thinking about your leaders for next school year, next season or your current organization.

Do you have the right people on the bus? Are they properly equipped to be the most effective leaders for your school or organization?

As I look at the 2026-27 school year, I am excited to team up with several High Schools in this region to strengthen student leadership within schools in order to impact the culture and school spirit. I still have some openings for next school year so please contact me.


Here are my 7 Pillars of Success:

Proven leadership principles and processes are built upon seven core frameworks designed to deliver sustained positive results:

  1. Culture Development – Creating an environment where excellence is the standard.

  2. Servant Leadership – Leading through sacrifice and the empowerment of others.

  3. Growth Mindset – Embracing challenges as the primary vehicle for progress.

  4. Trust – The essential currency of any effective team.

  5. Relationships – Prioritizing people as the most valuable asset.

  6. Ownership – Encouraging individual accountability for collective goals.

  7. Communication – Enhancing engagement and clarity across all levels.
