Framing Your Student's Perspective: Good Debt vs. Bad Debt
12:20 pm-1:50 pm CT
How to minimize chasing students—and their buying committees—while maximizing their follow-through on financing their education.
Students come to us and they have many limiting beliefs. They may not have had academic or professional success modeled for them and often their inner circles of influence really aren’t dream champions, but more like their dream stealers. This is often unintentional. In this session you will learn:
- Obstacles and frustrations of financing follow ups.
- Big Ticket Items-where does education rank in terms of lifetime purchases?
- Who is deserving of quality education?
- Good debt vs. bad debt.
- Behavior never lies.

Mentorship Within Education—No Significant Learning Happens Without Significant Connection
An unforgettable customized presentation designed to prevent teacher burnout and inspire educators to 1) remember their “WHY” of teaching, and 2) that every student is just one success story away from a caring somebody. In his role as an Education Motivational Speaker, Clint offers an engaging keynote presentation supporting educators and giving them solid insights on how to inspire themselves and their students. Clint delivers an actionable narrative of how one teacher by the name of Mr. Jensen changed his life with a small and simple gift that brought about lasting change and purpose in Clint’s life. It is a message about powerful educators and their lasting impact. The presentation reaffirms, validates and inspires today’s schoolhouse leaders and teachers on the power of focusing on the one.
As a result of this program, audience members will be able to:
- Walk away with a renewed sense of purpose and pride that comes from being a teacher.
- Understand the four aspects and characteristics of a “Mr. Jensen.”
- Create actionable goals that make a lasting difference.
- Understand their “WHY” as an educator.
- Commit to ongoing learning and disciplines to aid their efforts.
- Remember that what they do in the classroom really does matters in the lives of their students.
- Adopt tools and practical teaching aids that make an impact.

Lifestyle of Harmony-Educator Edition!
3:25 pm-4:25 pm CT
The daily life of an educator is typically not what we think of as “balanced.” Most of us wear many different hats, work long days while also bringing work home with us at night, and because we are naturally “givers,” we put everyone else’s needs in front of our own. Just because this is the way it has been in the past, does not mean it needs to continue to be this way going forward. It’s time to discover a lifestyle and mindset of harmony in the world of education. If we are ready to experiment and play with new ways of thinking and being, educators can have a more peaceful relationship with personal and work life. We can have more clarity and growth in all areas of our existence. This requires a more compassionate, patient, and realistic approach to our patterns and daily habits. Together, we are going to gain non-judgmental awareness of where we currently are and move toward a fresh way of being that is sustainable and supportive in the long term.
