Dr. Chara N. Willaford, founder of Be Your Best Yet Coaching and Consulting, is an educational leader with 25+ years of experience. A National Mentor and Trainer, she specializes in turning around schools, empowering future and early-career principals. Dr. Chara's journey spans roles at state, district, national, and building levels, reflecting a deep commitment to shaping the future of education. Her holistic approach and commitment to continuous learning are embodied in the motto, 'The Best is Yet to Come.
Show Highlights
Powerful principal pipelines for sustainable leadership development.
Strategies to overcome imposter syndrome in educational leadership.
Stop downselling yourself and putting a ceiling on what you can accomplish.
Making the invisible visible for aspiring leaders.
Importance of developing a CEO mentality for principals.
Work-life harmony for long term sustainment in the job.
Scheduling thinking time for strategic planning.
Guidelines for building collective excellence for your teams.
“When I think about working with leaders, the beauty of having this big bird's eye view at the state level, and I would even say at the national level, because I work with leaders at that place as well, is that the commonalities are the same. It doesn't matter if you're in one state or the next. If you're in a smaller district or a bigger district, the need for coaching, the need to have a community that you can lean upon is ever so present in leaders for today. The overall stress of ensuring that we have school communities that work for kids is something that transcends every leader.”

And eventually, if you don't have tough conversations, you get stuck in a status quo because everybody's just comfortable. And if you want to grow, you want to learn something new, you have to get uncomfortable.”

Schools don't meet the needs of students with diverse learning styles.
Most teachers lead with Fact Finder or Follow Through modes.
Building on strengths is crucial for better employee performance and relationships.
Conation vs cognition in schools.
Student Aptitude Quiz provides tips and tricks for using strengths productively.
Educators and parents play crucial roles in giving purpose to youth.
Communication possibilities for cognitive conflicts
“‘We're going to change everything.’ That's super stressful for a lot of people to hear in the education field. It's all about how to communicate and deliver work collaboratively together with those differences so that you are able to reach that purpose. I don't know any educator who's gone past the first year principal or teacher or assistant who's not there because their purpose is to help kids, but you have to understand their approaches to help. Bottom line, to educators, if your purpose is to help kids learn, I think the first thing they have to help is how they learn. They need to understand themselves and how they learn best. And by helping students learn how they learn and the joy of learning, then they become purposeful in their learning. And then the teacher feels I've accomplished a goal.”

Where is the Teacher? 12 Shifts for a Student Centered Classroom
Kyle Wagner, the founder of Transform Educational Consulting Limited, has always had a bold mission since he became an educator 15+ years ago: Create transformational learning experiences that connect students' interests and passions to issues that matter in the real world. This bold mission has literally taken him around the world. From the design of living museums, model governments, and engaging project-based experiences as a Humanities Teacher in world renowned High Tech High in San Diego; to co-founding student-led programs and schools as a Program Director in China; Kyle has remained true to that mission, and vowed to share it with others.
His book, The Power of Simple, outlines the simple shifts classrooms and schools can make to allow for these experiences, and the conditions required to ensure they have lasting impact. Kyle currently resides in Hong Kong, where through workshops, coaching, courses and bespoke training, he has now empowered over 1,000 forward thinking educators worldwide to create more socially, globally, and emotionally aware citizens through project-based learning.
Show Highlights
12 shifts for student-centered environments.
The difference between engagement and empowerment in education.
The next step you need to take is to Implementation of inquiry-based learning.
Importance of making small changes in the physical classroom setup.
Formulate a big question to create an inquiry framework designed by students.
Unpack the 3 key factors for motivation.
Create magic with a mindset shift to scaffold learning for students with their own interests.
Classroom transformations through peer-to-peer teaching.
“With inquiry, it's like when you take your dog off the leash for the first time and you haven't trained them to be off the leash, they're going to run off. But if you've gone through that process of like, ‘Okay you're going to walk beside me first.’ We're going to make sure that when the traffic comes, you're not going to freak out, then you slowly give them more opportunities where they can really formulate their own inquiries. They know what kind of interests are, they know how to ask deeper questions. And that's something that the teacher can support as a facilitator moving from that front of the classroom role.”

Graham Dugoni is the founder and CEO of Yondr. Founded in 2014, Yondr is the pioneer of “phone-free spaces.” The company helps educators, artists, and organizations around the world create distraction-free environments where focus and creativity can flourish in the absence of technology.
Show Highlights
Phone-free spaces and its benefits for students and teachers.
Reduction in behavioral issues and increased student engagement.
Steps to implement phone-free policies in schools, starting with leadership commitment.
Clear communication of the benefits and policy details to all stakeholders.
Addressing student resistance and creative attempts to bypass new policies.
Importance of clear consequences and consistent enforcement.
Positive changes in school culture and student interactions.
Support from Yonder in policy implementation and community engagement.
“I started the company in 2014 with young people in mind. And ir started from the point of view that smartphones and social media were radically new and there were going to be a lot of unintended consequences, basically, especially for young people. And I thought that it was my generation's responsibility to give them a sense and the experience of what life is like for at least 8 hours a day without that, so they could get perspective on them.
-Graham Dugoni i
“It always starts with leadership, with someone who says,'I see this problem and how phones and social media are affecting my students and the way they're developing and their focus in the classroom and the way it affects my teachers and their ability to get to feel effective in their environment.' What we do is we come and say, 'Okay, here's how the honor product works. Here's how our program works.' But the most important thing is for you to get the commitment of your community. And that's what we always start with. We start with helping principals or superintendents to get that commitment from their community. That's the community, parents, that's very important, but also teachers and administrators in the school.”
-Graham Dugoni i

Charles Hartney is the Head of Upper School and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion coordinator at The Park School of Buffalo, a progressive, independent school serving students from PreK and Montessori through Grade 12. Outside of school, Charlie is a proud husband and father of two, an avid reader, and a lifelong Buffalo sports fan. #GoBills.
Show Highlights
Create intentional deposits with every member of your learning community.
Charles' highlights his quest from transitioning from teacher to administrator within the same building.
Significance of seeking help by involving others in decision-making processes.
Cultivate a celebratory culture without having to be the cheerleader type.
A culture team doesn’t exist without both faculty and student representatives.
Importance of curiosity, compassion, and community in education.
A framework that gives you the permission to be the kind of leader that you want to be.
“I want people to remember that you don't have to be in a moment of crisis to seek help, to get unstuck or to think again about the work that you do. If anybody out there is like me and has been resistant to help in the past, or feels like they might be burdening other people by asking for help, or just feels like they should have all the answers, I would encourage you to find ways to get yourself unstuck, to seek out that help. Because once you have the support that you need, the work you're going to be able to do for your schools and for your faculty and for your families and for your students is going to be immeasurable. You can do incredible things.”

How can you do something small? Actually, intentionally small, that is going to maximize your learning, allow you to learn something and challenge your assumptions. Going back full circle to the beginning of my story as a teacher, we have more levers to play and more control about things that we can experiment, that we think, just thinking about what is my sphere of influence and what can I do?”

I'm living proof of that. 20 years after the fact, I've remembered that conversation, and it has shaped the trajectory of where I'm at. I want all Ruckus Makers to know that.”

And if you try to pretend that you're something that you're not, when everybody is giving you feedback that you're not doing what they hoped that you would be doing, you're going to be ground into the halt over time because people will just start to disconnect. And that is part of the management of trust.”

Alexandra Mejia, who goes by Sasha, is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in private practice specializing in working with complex trauma, dissociation, and personality disorders. She aims to de-stigmatize trauma and personality disorders through her social media platforms and Clinical Residency Program and to spread the word on using DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy) to settings outside of therapy.
Show Highlights
Coexistence of self-acceptance and change through Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques.
Walk ‘the middle path’ to promote awareness through mindfulness practices.
Resolve conflicts by observing internal opposing forces.
Create an inclusive educational environment emphasizing life skills education over traditional teaching methods.
Emphasizes applying mindfulness to daily activities and thoughts.
Distinguishing between reality and thoughts to enhance accountability.
3 Guiding Principles that align coursework with student passions as key principles for schools.
Applying mindfulness skills to navigate various challenges effectively.
“In dialectics, we like to call it walking the middle path. And it's taking a look at the positives and the negatives at each side of the dialectic. Let's say one side of the dialectic, there is self acceptance. And who out there doesn't want to find an experience? Self acceptance. It's a wonderful thing. We think we are more confident. We are less likely to be down on ourselves and to talk down to ourselves. If we're self accepting, we're not going to struggle as much or be as anxious or be as depressed if we're accepting of ourselves.”
