Fix the Adults, Fix the School: Awareness of Adult Strengths as Real Root of Student Success

We spend so much time trying to "fix" students... but what if the real change starts with us — the adults? Our podcast guest this episode is Tre Gammage, Owner of Strengths Based Training helping superintendents build high performance leadership teams. Tre digs into why adult strengths awareness and skills isn’t just important — it’s essential if we want better student outcomes and stronger schools. Tre Gammage shares his journey from psychology to educational leadership, and he doesn't hold back about what it really takes: self-awareness, honest conversations, and sustainable growth (not just another one-off PD session).
He shows how staff resistance isn’t a roadblock — it’s actually one of the best opportunities for real transformation. Tre discusses how he uses personalized strengths assessments and strategic coaching to help educators move past resistance and build better learning environments. Real change starts with the people leading the classrooms, not just the kids sitting in them.
