A Secret Weapon for Success:
As an educator, you have to take care of YOU to ensure that you are in the best position possible to teach and help others. In this highly motivational talk, Logan Taylor, an author, educational speaker and founder of Y.B.Normal?, shares why it’s critical for every educator—from the novice to the veteran to the teachers in between—to realize the importance of establishing and maintaining positive mental health, self-care and self-advocacy. After the impact of COVID-19, it’s even more imperative for teachers to recognize their feel in of insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty just as much as they embrace the feelings of gratitude and relief for overcoming major obstacles. Taylor’s message is best captured by Dr. Seuss, who wrote, “It’s OK to not be OK but it’s not OK to stay that way.” As an educator, you’ll leave this talk empowered and ready to create a safe space in schools for this type of vulnerability.

When it comes to high school graduation, students who live in poverty are five times more likely to fail, according to a recent study by Educationdata.org.

In this talk, Logan Taylor, author, educational speaker and founder of Y.B.Normal?, offers solutions to change these stats.

I had Logan speak to all 1500 of my teachers and principals in the fall. Logan’s message was so moving and inspirational that my staff asked for him to come back after the presentation. His presentation was so powerful that there wasn’t a dry eye in the room including myself.
