Excellence plays by the same rules everywhere.

This full‑day, hands‑on workshop is your chance to elevate your organization with a modest investment, and at the same time, help bring these powerful tools to the local public school system at no cost to them.

Our schools deserve access to the same resources that fuel high‑performing companies.

Imagine how much more a school or businesses could accomplish if all wasteful activities are reduced or eliminated. Nobody installs waste on purpose, it just happens over time.

Lean Unleashed is bringing a public school and businesses together through a hands-on workshop focused on continuous improvement, People First Leadership, and identifying the hidden waste that slows organizations down.

Waste has many sources:

Poor communication
Unclear processes
Repeated problems
We have always done it this way
Unclear value proposition
Poor full system visibility

Causing people to be frustrated and burnout

When teams learn how to recognize and reduce waste, they create stronger systems, better collaboration, and more time to focus on what truly matters — people.

This workshop helps participants develop practical skills in:

Problem solving
Systems thinking
Process improvement
Building a culture of continuous improvement

Small improvements can create major results when people work together with purpose.

Join Lean Unleashed and discover how reducing waste can create more value for schools, businesses, and the entire community.

Most teams try to fix problems… without ever seeing the full system.

That’s where real improvement breaks down.

• See how processes connect across people and departments

It’s learning to think differently—so your team solves problems more effectively back at work.

✔ Stronger decision-making

Theory meets reality!

Last week I had the amazing privilege of presenting at the University of Vermont for students that are in the National Society of Leadership and Success. As part of this I was able to facilitate a panel discussion with four local leaders, John Rodgers, Lt. Governor of Vermont, Steven Gagner, MBA, Professor and Entrepreneur (You have to see what he and the 14th star brewery have started in St. Albans, VT), Michael Costa, CEO of Gifford Healthcare, and David Kaufman Professor and Entrepreneur.

In the session we talked about Leadership not being a title, it is a set of values and behaviors. We also discussed the importance of knowing your current state, where you want to go and how to get there.

During the panel discussion these gracious and generous leaders shared very openly, humbly and freely their knowledge and real-life experiences. It was amazing to me how different each of their journeys have been but how aligned the basic fundamentals of how they view leadership are.

The students also impressed me very much, with great questions and full engagement, in the presentation, the roundtable and in the hour-long conversation that ensued afterwards.

This event really filled my cup; I get so much energy when I can serve others. I am also optimistic based on how the panelists conducted themselves and the students engaged, that there are some real lasting impacts leaving the room.

A special thanks to Calysta Koppenhaver and Ian Cox and the members of the E-Board for the society for the amazing work you put in to create this opportunity for the members.

Every great business, every strong team, every thriving community relies on the same fundamentals:

Reduce waste. Improve flow. Solve problems. Build people. Intentional Culture. Servant Leadership

These aren’t “corporate strategies.”
They’re human strategies and our public schools deserve access to them just as much as any Fortune 500 company.
On July 9th, Lean Unleashed is hosting a full‑day Continuous Improvement workshop at Schuylkill Haven High School.
Local businesses can attend at a special hometown rate, and if seats fill, the District receives the workshop for free.
This is how we lift a community together, with shared tools and shared purpose.

See the details and registration information below. Do not hesitate there are only 20 community seats available.

We all do it… we see a great free event, think “I should sign up,” and then somehow never click the button.
Meanwhile, opportunities to grow, learn, and connect just slide right past us.
On May 15, OCBE is offering something genuinely worth showing up for — and it costs nothing.
Don’t let this be another moment you meant to take advantage of.
