Unconventional TurnArounds That Will Change the Way You
Approach Classroom Engagement Forever
If you’re still feeling overwhelmed by problematic classroom behaviors from last school year, and are searching for effective strategies, then you’re in the right place. As an experienced educator and behavioral turnaround specialist, I’m here to share some game-changing TurnArounds with you that can energetically hack into – and quickly deflate – unproductive behaviors in just 30 seconds more times than not.
First off, let’s ditch the outdated tactics that rely on anger, shame, or punishment to correct behaviors. It’s time to shift our focus toward attending to the social, emotional, and behavioral needs of our students in order to bring about lasting change.
I understand the dedication and effort that you pour into your role, and I commend you for your passion and concern for the well-being of everyone involved.
Together, let’s dive into today’s TurnArounds that I’ve developed over the years. They have been tried and tested, and have revolutionized the way I approach classroom co-governance, engagement, and behavioral intervention.
As a former problem child, with a master’s degree in educational psychology, counseling, and development, I have real-world experience in dealing with a wide range of problematic behaviors triggered by attitudes, vibes and tone coupled with unmet needs and not yet learned skills to solve problems.
children who feel better do better
I’ve worked in various educational settings, from rural to urban schools, and have successfully turned around the lives of countless students who were at risk of falling through the cracks.
My life’s work is to empower educators, parents, and practitioners to understand and modify problematic behaviors using energetics. These Energy Hacks have not only transformed my own teaching and parenting experiences but have also been the cornerstone of my work with others over the past 40 years.
Today’s 30-Second TurnAround centers around the concept Dr. David Hawkins poses in his book: Power VS Force
Using power instead of force involves harnessing your personal strengths and influence to achieve a desired outcome, rather than resorting to coercion or aggression.
Power comes from within and is rooted in confidence, integrity, and respect for others. It allows you to lead by example and inspire others to follow willingly.
Force, on the other hand, relies on domination, manipulation, and fear to achieve goals.
When you operate from a place of energetic power, you approach situations with thoughtfulness, empathy, and open communication. You seek to build mutually beneficial relationships and create win-win solutions. This not only fosters cooperation, collaboration, and harmony but also builds trust and loyalty from those around you.
Conversely, using force can lead to resistance, resentment, and ultimately, a breakdown in relationships. It may produce short-term results, but at the cost of long-term damage and distrust.
By choosing to energetically radiate power instead of using physical, emotional, or verbal force, you not only elevate yourself but also those around you. You become a force for positive change and inspiration, making a lasting impact on the world.

Here’s are 3 Steps you can use today that have the potential to bring about significant TurnArounds in your classroom and home environment.
1. Recognize Behavioral Opportunities: Instead of defaulting to traditional disciplinary tactics, take a moment to recognize social, emotional, and behavioral opportunities as they arise. By being attentive to these moments, you can effectively address unproductive behaviors with compassion, without resorting to anger or humiliation.
2. Harness an AFZ – Attitude Free Zone: Hack into the energy equation by deliberately bringing a non-judgmental and empowering vibe to the table. Shifting your energy can be a game-changer in turning around problematic behaviors and influencing better outcomes in just 30 seconds.
3. Own Your Power to Influence: Acknowledge the role of energetics in shaping behavioral outcomes and capitalize on it. Show confidence in your ability to influence positive interactions by intentionally infusing a “can do” vibe with empowering expectations to every encounter. Through deliberate intent, you can create lasting wins and revolutionize the way you address unproductive behaviors.
I have seen – and experienced myself – that with non-judgmental attitudinal energy, vibes, and tone in combination with next-level knowledge and tools, we can create a positive and nurturing space for our children to thrive in.
By incorporating this week’s three steps into your approach, you’ll be able to effectively turnaround and be more successful at preventing problematic behaviors without resorting to default adulting tactics that do more harm than good.
So, stay tuned for the next TurnAround Thursday where I’ll share the first of my signature Energy Hacks with you – let’s revolutionize the way we support our children and create a harmonious learning environment together.
