This week I sat down with Josh Stamper, a Training and Development Specialist at Teach Better Team, Podcaster, & Author of Aspire to Lead!  Josh and I talk about how school wasn’t always a great place for him and how a counselor told him he wouldn’t amount to anything.  This lit a fire in him to do what he needed to do to get into college. He eventually found his way back to education through his love of sports and art.

As a young administrator, he used his experiences and training from being a foster parent, to create action relationship teams designed to help change the school’s culture.  As a leader he tried to always say “Yes” first to his teachers to encourage them to try new things.  He wasn’t afraid of failure, he encouraged it, because we learn way more from failure than success!  Josh and his wife have now adopted 4 amazing children that they were fostering.
