“

Dr. Minus’ is a dynamic speaker and facilitator who eloquently highlights the importance of protecting your professional brand as leaders matriculate through various levels of school leadership. Dr. Minus’ presentation was highly engaging and encouraged active participation from participants. Dr. Minus’s transparency and candor made participants comfortable asking questions and sharing their experiences during the session. School leaders left the training equipped with the tools and skills to implement best practices that will enable them to be proactive rather than reactive should the inevitable happen as they transcend in school leadership.

In addition to his high-quality facilitation, Dr. Minus was extremely helpful during the planning process of our convocation. He went the extra mile to schedule a call with the committee chair to ensure that he tailored his presentation to the specific needs of our members. Dr. Minus arrived at the event early and ensured that our organization had all the necessary materials and information before the event.

Dr. Minus, as the keynote speaker at our Boys to Men mentoring group’s Tie Ceremony, was not just engaging and charismatic, but also shared deeply personal stories from his childhood. These narratives, so closely aligned with our students’ journeys, left a profound impact. His vulnerability, a testament to his growth and the power of making the right choices, resonated deeply with the audience. His interactions with the crowd and our mentees, coupled with the repetition of key points, solidified his message. The participants left our event with a renewed understanding of how mentoring changes lives, filled with hope and optimism for their own journeys.

Educator / Leader

“
I had the pleasure of working with/and for Dr. Eric Minus for two years. Dr. Minus assumed the helm after years of high leadership turnover. At the time, the morale was very low, and many staff, students, and community had lost belief. Dr. Minus transformed the identity of the school through his inspirational leadership and strengths-based approach, both rooted in servant leadership. He founded programs that had a direct impact on student achievement and through the formation of these programs coached many of us fledging leaders to take on new responsibilities. He demonstrated trust in our abilities and always approached EVERY situation with genuine care, compassion, and concern for people first. Dr. Minus inspired parents and students to dream big and to see beyond their current circumstances.

Dr. Minus’s impact on my career trajectory is profound. His insight and coaching inspired me to apply for an administrative role while I was still working with him. Since then, I’ve held numerous leadership positions within the school system, a testament to the lasting influence of his guidance. I am forever grateful to Dr. Minus for instilling in me the values of servant leadership, leading with the heart, and maintaining a strong moral compass.
