If you don't already have Dale Carnegie's popular book on self-help, personal development & psychology order it here or get the audiobook for free on Amazon to learn the juicy details.Disclaimer: This is an unofficial summary and analysis.About Dale CarnegieDale Carnegie was active in debating clubs while at State Teacher's College in Warrensburg. After graduating, he worked as a sales agent in Nebraska and an actor in New York City, but his genuine passion was for public speaking. He started teaching public speaking at the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA). The influence of these talks meant he ended up lecturing to packed rooms. Based on this success, Carnegie decided to create his own public speaking school. Public speaking courses based on his teaching methods are still influential today. Warren Buffett has a diploma from Dale Carnegie's public speaking course hanging in his office. Buffett is only one in a long list of successful people who give the author partial credit for their success.IntroductionHow to Win Friends and Influence People was published in 1936 and became an instant bestseller. Dale Carnegie was already a famous public speaking coach and author of five other books. Out of his 11 books, this one has proven to be his most popular. It sold over five million copies throughout the author's lifetime and over ten million more since then.Carnegie researched the lives of greats from Julius Caesar to Thomas Edison. He also interviewed influential individuals like Franklin D. Roosevelt and Clark Gable. Based on these findings, he created a book that has become one of the best-selling books of all time. The book is based on a 14-week course he gave on human relations and public speaking.

What we see on the outside of someone is not always what's going on on the inside of someone. This gripping and sad story is one of a teacher of the year who fought her addiction to alcohol while helping her students and community. It was a hard battle that nearly took her life more than once, but this brave woman is a warrior and survivor! About Jessica: Jessica Dueñas is a daughter, sister, friend, and advocate. She's also known to many as Kentucky's 2019 State Teacher of the Year. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, she is a first-generation American born to a Cuban father and Costa Rican mother. Jessica is the youngest of a combined eight children. Despite the barriers that she faced growing up, Jessica excelled academically and was the first in her family to attend college. While in college, Jessica began to battle addiction. Jessica eventually graduated and joined the workforce as a teacher, a dream she had for herself since childhood. As Jessica dove into her career and her zeal for the profession and her students flourished, Jessica's drinking began to have a stronger hold on her, leading her to suffer in silence for years. In recent times, Jessica has faced traumatic life events, including witnessing death. Those events, along with the pressures of being a nationally recognized award-winning teacher fueled Jessica's disease until she reached a breaking point; it was time to change her life or face a tragic end to it. She chose herself and her sobriety above all else, leaving the teaching profession and everything behind to move forward and live a life of recovery. Find Jessica on Twitter: @jduenas24, follow her work at www.jessicaduenas.net or email her at jessica@jessicaduenas.net. Jessica is available for speaking engagements and is eager to spread her message of hope to others in these difficult times.

A Huge Honor The National Teacher of the Year Program began in 1952 and is one of the most prestigious national honors programs for educators. Annually, the Council of Chief State School Officers brings together every State Teacher of the Year for a meet-up in Washington DC. The carefully selected educators have professional development opportunities, and they often have access to top education policymakers. This past May, the group of teachers met privately with Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos. They also went to a luncheon hosted by the second lady Karen Pence at the vice president’s residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory. Different Regions Different Perspectives We wanted to learn more about the trip, so we contacted Texas Teacher of the Year Tara Bordeaux. Bordeaux says the cohort of teachers is amazing, and while they may have differing opinions, there is mutual respect for each person's perspective. "It's very eye-opening you get to see that the issues that are in education and politics and society as a whole differ throughout the country, and you have to take that into consideration." The Wild Ride Bordeaux says that being Texas Teacher of the Year has been an enormous honor, but she admits that being placed under the microscope has led to a bit of a "wild ride" for herself and others selected. Bordeaux says earlier this year she commented to a publication about gun safety, but she was misquoted. She says the misquote led to her being attacked online. Bordeaux also expressed concern about what happened to the National Teacher of the Year Mandy Manning, during their trip to Washington DC. A doctored video of a White House event made it appear that Manning refused to shake the President Trump's hand, and it was also altered to make it look as if she refused to clap for him. Bordeaux says the misleading video led to Manning receiving death threats for something that she didn't even do. "Here's this person that's an amazing educator. That's an amazing, mother, wife, friend, and she is taking the brunt of heat for so much anger and rage in America that is directed at the wrong person." To hear more about the behind the scenes of the 2018 Teacher of the Year gathering and Bordeaux's experience as Teacher of the Year, listen to Episode 53 of the Class Dismissed Podcast.

Life offers us many opportunities for growth and development from both a personal and professional perspective. When we remain open to what these experiences can teach us, we ultimately provide ourselves with the tools necessary to see our work and purpose through a different lens. In today’s #RunYourLife episode, Dr. Martha James-Hassan shares her major life lessons learned throughout her 25 years in education and how these lessons continually help to shape her professional practice. In our discussion, Martha and I explore what quality physical education means and the impact that a great program can have on helping to inspire young people to take initiative on being physically active for life. We delve into the role that fitness plays in a physical education curriculum and the key factors necessary for deepening teacher practice. Martha shares some gems in this episode that will truly challenge us to think about the current stances that we hold about what is most important in our profession.
