âThere's an opportunity here to think about change agents. As Ruckus Makers, we have to continually turn the lens to be able to self reflect, to think about value creation.â
-Katie Desiderio
âWe can't let that serve as a blind spot for us to think about the impact on the collective whole. For all of us to be able to hit the pause button to say, âI probably could have done that better,â or âhow could I rephrase that or how could I look at this from a different lens to try to do it different or to bring someone else that might be more effective than I am in this space.ââ
-Katie Desiderio
âIf you don't have a philosophy that you can share how you're going to lead the good, the bad, and ugly and share it, then the environment that you're creating may not be one that's vulnerable and authentic, and people will just see you as kind of a hierarchical leader. And that's not what we're trying to encourage. We're trying to convert, encouraging buyers where everybody can lead from every seat. It's okay to bring your best self to work, come as you are, choose the lens you want, but let's all work at this together.â
-Michael Frino
âWhen we think about being innovators and disruption and demonstrating a ruckus, you have to go through a process, and it has to be messy. It can't be so rigid. The best ideas come when the process is messy, and you have to allow yourself permission to do that. Some people are really uncomfortable in that space, but getting out of your comfort zone, whiteboarding, brainstorming, being messy, will bring to life brand new ideas, brand new concepts, and probably allow people who have really great ideas to speak up that may not otherwise be heard, be messy.â

A Georgetown University Leadership Coaching Program graduate and ICF-certified coach with over two decades of corporate and nonprofit leadership experience, he works with clients to help them optimize their lives both at work and at home.
A strategic listening expert and dedicated leadership wellness practitioner, he speaks and facilitates workshops on âNext Level Listening: How to Be the Best Listener in the Roomâ and âLeadership Wellness 101: How to Lead Well Without Losing Your Way.â
Born and raised in Minnesota, when not exploring our inspiring planet, he calls Crested Butte, Colorado and Madrid, Spain home.

Pulling weeds versus watering plants leadership strategy.
The one person on the planet who is most easily deceived. What to avoid in leadership.
The recipe we've been given to be a transformational school leader is fundamentally unhealthy.
Maintaining your well being need not be as rare as a copy machine that never breaks down.
Build yourself a âBuddy Benchâ to maintain personal and professional effectiveness.
Ruckus Makers, straddle the space between what is and what could be.
The biggest bang for your school improvement buck comes from walking out of the emergency room.
âMy body woke me up to what my head and heart wouldn't let me see. And that's particularly how I really resonate with Ruckus Makers. People who are trying to make tomorrow's school a reality today. People who are really challenging that status quo. I was that. So how do ruckus makers respond to adversity? We work harder. We love more, we give more than we give. And so I was really blinded to the low point I was getting to and my body woke me up.
âI was flourishing at work, I was floundering where it mattered most, at home and with my family and friends. And that's what I hope my book and my work now can help Ruckus Makers do, is to avoid the place where I got so they can continue to thrive in their work and have the impact that they're having.â

"Leader Ready: Four Pathways to Prepare Aspiring School Leaders."
Challenge traditional leadership predictors to support younger educators and foster a culture of growth belonging.
Be the âdive masterâ your team needs to take risks and discover their voice.
"Hold the ladder steadyâ to help leverage the gifts of aspiring leaders.
Strategies for results over building a resume for leadership success.
How to create an environment for team members to flourish.
3 categories on how you run a school and navigate the policies, procedures, etcetera.
Pathways for leadership development and impactful school culture.
âWhat really impressed me the most was I was with a leader who made it abundantly clear that my voice mattered, that my opinions were important in that learning dynamic. He didn't assume I knew something or presumed that he knew better in any way, shape, or form. But by really being authentic and getting to know who the aspiring leaders are in front of you, I think you can really take them to deeper levels of engagement and understanding.â
-Tim Cusack
âListening is really important. Nonjudgmental listening. So if you're in senior leadership and you have some sort of rising star or shooting star or someone who's doing remarkable things, give them a platform to share what they're doing and just honestly listen to how that came about.
Something that a senior leader needs to recognize and say, what are you doing? And how can we help you continue to do that within our district? Because every district has someone that is doing remarkable things. Everyone, every district has some sort of Ruckus Maker that's doing something outside the box, whether it's in their classroom or in their school or in their role. Oftentimes the Ruckus Maker or the ruckus they are making is perceived as negative, when really it may just be a misunderstanding of what they're actually trying to do.I think honestly listening is really important.â

Nurturing Trust and Building Connections In Education
With over two decades of experience as an educator in various school settings, I have cultivated a profound philosophy of education known as Two Rules. This philosophy serves as a foundation for fostering building-wide support for the social-emotional learning and mental health needs of students. Through the years, I witnessed the transformative impact of prioritizing these essential aspects of education, contributing to a positive and nurturing school environment.Since my retirement from formal education, my commitment to educational advancement has not wavered. I have found a meaningful role as a mentor and coach with the Illinois Principals Association, where I guide and support aspiring and early-career educators. This role allows me to share my wealth of experience and insights, contributing to the growth and development of the next generation of educational leaders.

âClarity. How we communicate and how we are clear with what our message is and what we're trying to do. Everybody is valuable to what we're doing, and we're placing value on everything that we're saying. We have so much power in the words that we use, and I think that we forget that as educators.â
