Daniel Bauer has mentored thousands of school leaders via his masterminds, blog, podcasts, and live experiences.

A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR

I wrote this book because I believe that ‘Everyone wins when you get better.’ I LOVE school leaders and improving the quality of education in your community starts with principal mentorship.
After personally coaching 100+ school leaders from around the world, I have shared my PD framework for the first time.
The ABCs of powerful professional development™ are the reason the mastermind is changing the landscape of professional development school leaders experience.
- A stands for AUTHENTICITY
- B is for BELONGING
- C equals CHALLENGE
When the ABCs of powerful professional development™ are integrated into a PD experience your life and leadership will transform.
Savvy school districts and innovative school leaders will jump at this opportunity to LEVEL UP.
Keep Making a Ruckus,
Daniel Bauer
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT MASTERMIND: UNLOCKING TALENT WITHIN EVERY SCHOOL LEADER
Daniel Bauer has the ability to deeply engage others in how to be better leaders, share what he has learned in the process, and offer it in a book. Mastermind is not just engaging from the first sentence; it offers research and practice that can help us have a deeper impact on leading and learning.
Though Bauer’s book is about how masterminds allow K–12 leaders to reach their potential, I recommend it for those in higher education as well. As a college president, I rely on the tools Bauer highlights: opportunities for mentorship, investment in personal growth, a push for innovation, support networks, and the capacity to see challenges and issues through multiple perspectives.
As a university professor devoted to teaching excellence, I’d heard of masterminds but didn’t know what they did or value. Daniel Bauer explains them, who does them, why, how, and what to expect from them, illustrated with stories from principals and educators who did them. Now I want to do one. I wish I’d read this book a long time ago.
