Welcome to the official page for Just Do This...—the ultimate guide for K-12 educators to transform culture and climate in their classrooms, schools, and districts.

About the Book
In Just Do This..., I break down the strategies, mindset, and practical tools necessary to create a culture of commitment, across every level of education. It’s not about theory. It's about real, actionable steps you can implement immediately to improve your school culture and climate.
I’ve spent over 25 years in K-12 education—first as a teacher, then as a principal and superintendent—and now as a full-time speaker, trainer, and consultant. Throughout my journey, I’ve learned that a positive school culture doesn’t just happen. It’s cultivated through intentional actions, consistent values, and building strong, supportive relationships at every level. Just Do This... provides you with the steps to do exactly that.
