I just wanted to send along a quick thank you. I had the pleasure of listening to you at a CMS leadership conference years ago when I was an assistant principal. Years later, as I am in my second year as principal of Pineville Elementary, I often reflect upon that session and your book. It has been a very weird time to be starting off my principalship, but your wisdom has been helpful throughout. Your message helped me to see that being myself and genuinely caring for people would be the best action step to being a good principal. Thank you for helping me to see that as a goal and a place to continue to grow.

David’s workshop will keep your staff engaged from beginning to end. He weaves leadership qualities with music and anecdotes into a session that will inspire your teachers to be the very best they can be! One of my fourth grade teachers returned to the class the next day and used some of the very same strategies with her students. David’s workshop was inspirational! If you want your staff to feel valued and have a wonderful time in doing so, this is the session for you!

“Lead like the Legends” by David Steinberg was entertaining, engaging, and inspiring! By the end of the workshop I had reflected through music the qualities of educational leadership that I need to grow over the remainder of my career. After the workshop concluded, I was motivated to do more as a leader of my school.

Every school improvement effort wants to define what excellent leadership looks like in our public schools. The researchers involved in these efforts want to know what it is in order to replicate those leaders. Dr. Steinberg’s presentation brings the most agreed upon characteristics of that elusive leader to life. While leadership has proven difficult to define, when you see it, you know it. Dr. Steinberg leads you in the right direction so you can see it - and hear it! His inspiring presentation makes every educator want to be the very best leader in their school.
