People Thrive when Others Believe in Them with Mike Kleba

The Employee Experience in Education Podcast

“People thrive when others believe in them”

Mike Kleba has tried to leave education a few times, including runs as an actor, director, and even leading a tech company.

But the draw to make an impact has brought him back to the classroom each time.

In an environment where teachers are constantly leaving the classroom, Mike discusses the reason he’s bucking this trend and the power of believing in your people.

Mike also shares:

• What is guaranteed to make you well up with tears
• A connection between staff and the dugout of a baseball team
• The impossibility of attending to your students AND demands by your administrator(s)
• What is at the heart of the future of happiness in our culture.

Mike Kleba is an international speaker, author, artist, and entrepreneur, Mike has been a public high school English and theatre teacher for 25 years. He serves as co-host of the NYEdTech Meetup and sits on the SXSW EDU Advisory Board. Mike is the co-author of Otherful, an earnest and irreverent book about how to lead through others
