Send us a textIn this Power Surge, Dr. Mel unpacks what happens when things look “fine” on the surface but really aren't. Drawing inspiration from the Thatcher Effect illusion, she challenges leaders to flip their perspective and see what's truly happening in their schools, teams, and systems. Because sometimes what looks normal is actually upside down — and leadership clarity starts with the courage to look again.Key Points:What looks “fine” from one angle might be distorted from another.Leaders can get used to dysfunction when they only view things through their usual lens.True clarity requires flipping your perspective — asking different questions, listening to new voices, and looking at data, people, and culture from multiple angles.“Fine” can become a mask for fatigue, fear, or frustration — both for you and your team.Healthy leadership means re-examining what you've accepted as normal.Download Upside and use my code MELINDA35278 to get 15¢ per gallon extra cash back on your first gas fill-up and 10% extra cash on your first food purchase!

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Darrell Potts, Principal of Northridge Middle School in Charlotte, North Carolina. As an AVID alum, former AVID teacher, and now AVID-focused leader, Darrell shares how he's cultivated a schoolwide culture rooted in the belief that every student is an achiever. In fact, at Northridge Middle School, success is not an abstract ideal but rather a daily practice, fueled by a shared mantra: “We will strive for excellence in all that we do . . . because we are achievers.” Darrell embodies this belief in every facet of his leadership, using AVID as the framework to embed college and career readiness into the school's culture. His approach centers on building systems that empower both students and teachers to believe in their potential and work toward it, one step at a time.Whether it's through the Triple A initiative that rewards attitude, academics, and attendance, or the intentional use of student voice to shape school incentives, Darrell prioritizes relevance, recognition, and relational capacity. His advice to fellow educators is clear: Start small, lean on your network, and don't be afraid of the struggle because without it, there's no progress. This episode offers powerful insights for leaders looking to build a culture where excellence isn't just expected, it's achieved. Visit AVID Open Access to learn more.

You have to appreciate Aprilia's moxie. Instead of designing its upright, semi-naked sportbikes to a price, the Noale team dives headfirst into crafting high-performance machines—and then sets the price to match. At $11,499, the 2026 Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory is an expensive bike for its class—almost 50 percent more than the Kawasaki Z650. That requires buyers to want something based on quality and capability, rather than prioritizing price. Editor Don Williams headed to the canyons on the new Aprilia, and in the first segment this episode, he gives us the lowdown on what he found. * * * * * In the second segment this episode, Teejay Adams chats with Sara Lobkovich, a leadership coach and consultant who has authored a book on her deep expertise in Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), and organizational performance. Okay, so that's cool, but what you probably don't know about Sara is that she is also a Principal (with her husband Chris) and Assistant Crew Chief of the CW Moto Team who race in the Moto America series. Her many roles include strategic communication, social media support, and she helps ensure the team is operating at peak performance. Sara is a 20+ year rider and riding coach herself, and created The Moto Curious, a podcast to help make motorcycling more inclusive and accessible. She is a fascinating and welcoming lady, so from all of us here at Ultimate Motorcycling, we hope you enjoy this episode.

Episode NotesThe discussion moves into how standards evolve beyond tools, the trade-offs of monocultures vs. consensus-driven teams, and why ownership matters when the original authors move on. Nathan also unpacks the cost of neglect, describing defects as anything that slows developers down—not just issues that impact end users.Later in the conversation, Nathan recounts a migration from a React SPA to Turbo and Stimulus that removed barriers between designers and developers. He highlights how keeping all problems on the radar together prevents teams from falling into local optima. The episode closes with reflections on TestBench, blind spots in testing, continuous improvement in remote teams, and advice for developers who feel stuck raising maintenance concerns.Episode Highlights[00:01:07] Defining Well-Maintained Software: Nathan shares his three key markers—up-to-date dependencies, adherence to team standards, and fixing defects immediately.[00:02:53] From Tools to Tacit Knowledge: Why norms start with tool-enforced rules like RuboCop but evolve into cultural agreements within teams.[00:04:49] Speed vs. Durability: Teams built on monoculture move quickly early on, but diverse, consensus-driven cultures go farther.[00:11:11] Owning the Architecture: When original developers leave, new teams must take responsibility for architecture rather than defer decisions.[00:13:37] The Cost of Neglect: Dependencies, drifting standards, and defects interact in compounding ways. Nathan reframes defects as “anything that impedes developer effectiveness.”[00:17:46] React → Turbo + Stimulus Migration: A costly SPA and siloed design team gave way to a simpler approach that reduced rework and empowered designers to contribute directly.[00:22:44] Avoiding Local Optima: Tackling problems in isolation creates dead ends—addressing them holistically opens real paths forward.[00:24:32] Who We Seek Validation From: Developer identities often align with whose approval they value—shaping front-end vs. back-end divides.[00:27:34] Comfort vs. Maintenance Burden: Silos built for comfort create tomorrow's maintenance problems.[00:33:45] Relentless Improvement in Remote Teams: Start as an ensemble, evolve into autonomous work cells, and use work logs to sustain consensus.[00:38:33] What's Missing from Remote Work: Nathan reflects on lost “hallway conversations” and the challenge of building social glue remotely.[00:40:50] The Story Behind TestBench: Dissatisfaction with existing frameworks and a desire for simplicity led to TestBench's creation.[00:47:38] Testing Blind Spots: The biggest blind spot is equating testing with automation—interactive testing and intelligible output remain essential.[00:50:35] Advice for Stuck Engineers: Nathan encourages developers to study quality traditions, connect with peers, and embrace continuous improvement.[00:53:16] Book Recommendations: Deming's Out of the Crisis and The New Economics, Toyota's product development work, and Rawls' A Theory of Justice.Tools & Resources MentionedBrightworks Digital – Nathan's current company, where he serves as Principal.Nathan Ladd on LinkedIn – Connect with Nathan and follow his work.TestBench – A Ruby testing framework co-created by Nathan.Turbo – Hotwire framework for building modern, fast applications without heavy JavaScript.Stimulus – A modest JavaScript framework for enhancing HTML with small, reusable controllers.RSpec – A popular Ruby testing tool for behavior-driven development.Minitest – A simple and fast Ruby testing framework.RuboCop – A Ruby static code analyzer and formatter.Lessons Learned in Software Testing – Classic book on testing by Cem Kaner, James Bach, and Bret Pettichord.Out of the Crisis – W.

I recently had a client schedule a one-on-one after a particularly challenging incident where a student admitted to a behavior during the investigation, then went home and adamantly denied everything to their parents. The parent confronted my client, confused about the conflicting stories, and suddenly she found herself in a situation where someone's telling the truth and someone's not. When we feel accused of lying or our integrity is questioned, our fight or flight response can kick in faster than we can think, leading to defensiveness or shutdown. Join me this week to discover what to do when you're accused of lying. We'll explore why children tell different stories at school versus home, and how to stay emotionally regulated and curious instead of reactive so you can maintain your leadership position.

Welcome back to Tahoe TAP - the podcast spotlighting the Things, Adventure, and People that make life in this blue-and-green paradise so extraordinary. Hosts Mike Peron and Rob Galloway are back with another episode packed with local insight, regional updates, and a conversation you won't want to miss. After catching listeners up on what's unfolding around the lake, the duo welcomes a guest who's practically woven into the fabric of Tahoe itself: Steve Teshara — advocate, strategist, and one of the most deeply respected leaders in the basin. If there's a saying about someone “being around the block,” Steve's been around the entire lake a few times. Since moving to Tahoe in 1973, he's played a leading role in nearly every major regional initiative—from economic development to transportation, forest health, watershed restoration, and policy advocacy. Today, he serves as Principal of Sustainable Community Advocates, the consulting firm he founded in 2010. But Tahoe residents will recognize his name from a long list of leadership roles, including: CEO / Executive Director of the North Lake Tahoe Resort Association Executive Director roles with the Tahoe Chamber, Tahoe Sierra Preservation Council, and South Tahoe Gaming Alliance Key member of “Team Tahoe” in Washington D.C., helping secure federal appropriations for the region year after year Known for his ability to “connect the dots," Steve has a rare talent for bringing governments, nonprofits, and private partners together to solve complex regional challenges. In today's episode, the focus turns to two critical topics shaping Tahoe's future: transportation solutions and Eastern Placer development planning — and Steve knows these like the back of his hand.

Today our guest is Zac Bauermaster the Principal at Providence Elementary School in New Providence, PA. Zac went viral after a hallway video of his daily high fives and fist bumps reached millions, but what's even more powerful is the culture behind it. We talk to Zac about how he's creating a school where students and staff want to be, not have to be. He shares how simple daily rituals like “Fist Bump Fridays” (every day), greeting at arrival and dismissal, quick classroom hellos, hallway presence, and cafeteria time, build trust, connection, and belonging. Zac also explains his “yellow light leadership” approach, how he organizes his day using green, yellow, and red zones, and why proactive visibility beats reactive follow up. He highlights a powerful ripple-effect story from a quick doorway interaction and a schoolwide win: 100% of students can name a trusted adult. His reminder? Prioritize PEOPLE: Prioritize, Empathize, Observe, be Purposeful, Love, and Encourage, every single day. Learn More About CharacterStrong: Access FREE MTSS Curriculum Samples Request a Quote Today!

As a school principal, he leads teachers, staff, families, and the next generation, but his greatest joy is helping people of all ages discover their gifts, use their talents, and live encouraged in their daily lives. With a people-first approach to leadership, Zac strives to see, value, and build others up before anything else. Before his current role as an elementary school principal, Zac served public education in various K–12 roles, such as a high school assistant principal, district administrator of online learning, teacher, and coach. In addition to his role as principal, Zac is the author of four books: Leading with a Humble Heart, Leading with People, and Lemon-Aid: Spreading Kindness One Cup at a Time, which he co-authored with his daughter, Olivia. Most recently, his fourth book, Day by Day: 180 Days of Hope and Encouragement, was released in July. Most importantly, Zac is a husband to his wife, Carly, and father to three kids. One of his favorite leadership roles is coaching his children alongside other youth in the community in baseball, basketball, and softball. He's a firm believer in leading his family first.

We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!Modern leadership often confuses constant availability with maximum impact. It veers off course when it ignores intuition in favor of data. Join Shelley and Melissa Gonzalez, Principal and founder of MG2 in a conversation about her new book, The Purpose Pivot, which explores why understanding your genuine zone of impact requires ruthlessly eliminating everything without purpose. They discuss how most executives spend their days trapped in meetings that deplete rather than energize them, mistaking a full calendar for productivity. Melissa describes how important it is to recognize your intuition as unfiltered market intelligence about misalignment between your role and your actual competitive advantage. She adds, the leaders who will dominate the next decade won't be those who power through everything, but those who know how to focus on their impact and precisely when to tap out.Special Guest: Melissa Golzalez, Principal and founder of MG2 and author of The Purpose PivotFor more strategic insights and compelling content, visit TheRobinReport.com, where you can read, watch, and listen to content from Robin Lewis and other retail industry experts, and be sure to follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter.
