Kids go to school each day yearning for recognition or validation from a caring adult. Even the simplest connection – a smile, a hello or a kind word of encouragement – can have a profound impact on that child’s day. These crucial connections are a cornerstone of Tara’s trainings and workshops.
While still in the classroom, Tara endured far too many painful professional development days. Those experiences solidified her commitment to create powerful, engaging, inspiring, relevant trainings for educators of all levels.
Tara’s passion is palpable … her humor infectious … and she has proven her ability to inspire audiences around the world to reach their students through the sheer strength of deeper connections.
What they're saying about Tara:
"Every teacher, administrator, student or parent should come across Tara Brown at least once. The energy she is capable of delivering is only shadowed by that which she is able to draw from her audience. It is a pleasure to watch teachers interacting with her. It is like medicine that is working. I would not only recommend Tara Brown. I would personally guarantee it."

"This has been an amazing day. Your training helped me think back on the past 5 years of teaching and remember fondly my classes and the importance of the relationships we built. I was feeling pretty burnt out, but today was a gift. I actually wish I had students to go back to sooner than August-Thank you!"
