Each of us desires to live a life that matters.

In our pursuit of significance, we often allow our emotional health, personal growth, and happiness to take a backseat to those we love and lead. No one intends to neglect themselves; it just happens, like a snowball rolling downhill growing ever larger and more unmanageable. Dedicated leaders, especially in demanding times and environments, commonly prioritize the needs of others over their own well-being. 

But it doesn’t have to be this way—it shouldn’t be this way! 

When you prioritize your own personal growth and emotional health, you create a happier culture, higher levels of success, and a safer school.

Love & Lead resets the balance. 

It provides you with strategies, methods, and routines to safeguard your mental health and personal growth, enabling you to lead with renewed strength and clarity. 

More than a program, Love & Lead is a holistic and transformative blueprint that helps you maintain balance as a leader therefore enhancing your energy, resilience, wisdom, confidence, and grace in all areas of your life. With Love & Lead, you’ll become a better leader, friend, parent, spouse, protector, and resource to yourself and those you love. 

When you thrive, everyone thrives!

Praise for Don Shomette

Listening to you speak lifted a load!

Love, love, love!

Thank you for passing along your knowledge and wisdom. As a new administrator, I feel better prepared to make my school safer. I appreciate you saying, “Guard your gratitude” I will carry that with me thought my leadership journey. All in all, amazing presentation and training!

Don was engaging. Had a great message and opened my eyes to things I didn’t think about!

I think in today’s age most people work for a paycheck without love for what they do or who they do it for. Thank you for reminding me that I can love the students and their families.

A lot of great information not only to use in the school but also at home with my own children.

Thank you for making me feel valued and confident as a leader!

It was nice to hear a presentation about being human.

Excellent speaker with a wonderful message and very captivating.

He’s very relatable and I enjoyed the time. Very powerful.

Eye opening.

Mr. Shomette’s enthusiasm for this topic is very easy to see and feel. It was contagious.

You believe in what you’re saying so you make us believe!

Makes me want to do better and my best for not only my kids at school, but also for my own kids at home. Thank you.

I will remember this message and apply it to my life and career!

Thank you for bringing Don Shomette in to set the tone and focus!

Left feeling optimistic!

This course has changed my life forever!

I've been doing this for over 30 years and Don is one of the best presenters I've ever seen. A real forward thinker!
