Live Only True Stories: Building Strong Faith, Character, Relationships
Why Schools Need the Three Stories Framework
Overview
Roof: The Three Stories People Tell About Themselves, Others, and Life
Walls: Best Practices for Leadership, Faculty, Parents, and Students
Foundation: Your Mission
Too many schools have a solid mission and best practices for the four key stakeholders, but no defined framework everyone uses to know and assess the three stories being told. It's like building a great foundation and walls but no roof.
The Three Stories Framework is a set of professional development and training sessions for school leaders, teachers, and families.

Mission Audit Training
An education mission is one of the most difficult outcomes to measure, making the effort all the more necessary. Board members, administrators, and heads-of-school will be equipped to conduct a mission audit. Gather the data to get a clear picture of where the mission is strong and where it's at risk.
Three keynotes equip parents to partner with greater effectiveness, focus, and commitment.

FAQ
Are we too far away for you?
Probably not! I'm an experienced traveler. (50 states and several countries) Unless riding on camels is required, I can likely find a way to get there.
Do you come to small schools?
Of course! I have no minimum number of participants required.
Can we book you for only one session?
Absolutely! (But your best investment is to make the most of my time there!)
What's your fee?
I work with you to find ways to make my fee and your budget meet. I want to see as sincere a commitment to bring me to your school as I make creating and delivering quality material.
Are you enjoyable to work with? (The question people want answered but are reluctant to ask!)
Yes, if you're a reasonable person. My goal is to serve, not to be served. I'm down-to-earth and don't think significant has to be synonymous with stuffy; knowledgeable doesn't equal arrogance; and Christian isn't an excuse for mediocrity.
