I just had my first meeting with the Leadership Council since we attended your online camp. I wish you could be a fly on the wall to hear how your positivity was just the inspiration they needed to help kick off this year feeling invigorated and fresh instead of defeated and sad…We are forging ahead to create music education 2.0! Thank you for having an impact on my students and my program through your work. It’s so obvious that you have found your soul‘s purpose.
Lesley Moffat, Band Director, Jackson High School, Mill Creek, Washington
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!
Jessica Vaughn, Associate Band Director, Cherry Creek High School, Denver, Colorado.

Attending the Upbeat Global Leadership camp has helped me understand what a good student leader looks like and how everyone and anyone can be a leader of any capacity while working in a team setting. This camp will have a lasting effect on how I will move forward through a time of uncertainty, and how I will approach problems in the future as a student leader. - Sami
