This week, we bring on Tyson Wooters, a leadership consultant to talk shop about designing a leadership course.

Adapted from his bio on Leaders Creating Leaders:

"Tyson has been called an entertainer, a comedian, and most importantly an educator. His life mission is to educate people through humor, shared experiences, and win-wins, about the phenomenal power of helping those around you by activating them to help each other.

Although Tyson spent his first career educating in public schools, colleges, and corporate events, these days he serves educators in the classroom, in personal development, and even in retirement."

Information on the March 4th #BeBandReady and #KeepPlaying Spring Campaign he mentioned can be found here

Sus is out for the week, so John, Veronica and Olin regress to their true selves and talk shop for band in 2021 (let's be honest, it's not much different from when Sus is present, just a little less fun).
