  • There are 3 things you can do to get people to buy into your new initiative. Do these three things and you will get people genuinely excited and engaged from the very start and set them up to stay engaged and invested throughout the process.  

Have you ever introduced a new initiative to your staff only to have it fall flat? Or worse, have you ever tried to get your teachers excited about a new program and met push-back and resistance before you could even get the project started?

Getting people truly excited and invested in a new initiative is not as simply as making a rousing speech and hosting splashy big launch with banners, balloons, and a band. There are actually 3 specific things you must do if you want to get teachers genuinely excited and invested in any new initiative.

On today's episode, learn what those three things are, and how you can use them to get real buy in from your teachers and  get everyone excited to get started!
