Sending my student leaders to The Upbeat Global Leadership Academy was an easy decision! The students came back inspired, motivated to serve their section/band in a more meaningful way.

I wanted to send a quick note to let you know how the work you introduced yesterday is impacting my mindset already. 
I woke up this morning intending to think about something I am grateful for and to use my G.E.T.
TM statements to think about my upcoming day. These two simple practices are exactly what I was looking for to shape my thoughts as I start my day, and I can’t wait to realize the positive changes in my mindset over time from this shift. 
Thank you for providing us with a toolkit to improve both our leadership skills and our wellbeing!
