Educational leaders, administrators, principals, curriculum directors, counselors, are among the most burned out professionals in the country. They came into this work because they believed in something. The daily demands of the profession have made that belief harder to access. David Harrell’s keynote reconnects educators with their purpose, not through cheerleading or empty inspiration, but through a story so honest and so human that it reaches the part of them that remembered, once, exactly why they walked into a classroom for the first time.
