The Positive Effect
Book Series
This isn't just a book series—it's a call to action, a movement to inspire and ignite positive leaders around the world. Embrace the journey and transform leadership with actionable insights and lasting impact.
"The book is chock full of best practices, tactics, and approaches. I heard Nurtured Heart Approach, Capturing Kids Hearts, Declarative Language Usage, Discipline With Dignity, Restorative Practices, and Trauma-Informed Practice to name a few. These practices and approaches were skillfully woven throughout the book with great examples for application.
I am a big fan of the flattened leadership model - the school Leo and Lucía attended K-8 (Chico Country Day School) modeled their leadership structure after visiting Design 39. More schools should adopt this model.
The Positive Effect is a perfect fit for educators because it assumes positive strength and intention - something educators naturally bring with them into their first classroom. Staying positive and student - centered can be the challenge but these reminders make the difference."
