In this Power Surge, Dr. Mel unpacks how school leaders can deliver powerful pre-service messages and opening PD sessions by leading with presence, not just position. You’ll learn how to use body language, tone, and mindset to inspire trust, shift culture, and set the tone for the school year.

“Your presence can shift a room before you even speak. Make it intentional.”

• Why presence matters more than your PowerPoint
• 3 simple ways to command the room with authenticity
