Small Change as a Teacher
Early in my teaching career, I ordered a pair of Converse Chuck Taylors. The tissue paper they were wrapped in had a large quote printed on it: “There is no such thing as small change.” This resonated with me, so I saved the tissue paper and hung it above my desk in the back of my classroom.
For years students would ask about it, and we would debate whether it was true. My position was always “true” — that every change we make is significant to someone, somewhere, sometime.
As an Instructional Coach
When I moved out of the classroom into my role as an instructional coach, I again hung the paper above my desk. This time it was a reminder to me that no matter how slow the progress was, it was progress.
Now at True North
And now, in my new office, it is still displayed as a reminder that each new practice we begin shifts us, bringing us either closer to or farther from the person we want to be.

My Philosophy: Progress Builds Over Time
There is no such thing as small change; each change we make builds over time to create lasting impacts to our lives.
I use the skills gained from my time in the classroom, as a coach, and as a yoga teacher to help people form habits, navigate changes, and build their resilience. My dissertation work examined causes, effects, and reduction of teacher stress. This affirmed my commitment to supporting people who serve others in building collective resilience to mitigate stress.
My greatest hope is that you will leave our time together feeling that you have a better understanding of the person you currently are, the authentic person who exists within you, and the pathway between the two.
