Angela Maeirs approaches education from the 30,000 foot level. From there she draws a straight line to the heart, where she aims to release the potential of every child and educator with two simple words -- "you matter." Her approach is easy to dismiss as fluff or esteem building Kool-Aid, but her approach to bringing out the best in students has resonated with a global audience. Angela has persuaded 100s of schools to set aside a time weekly to allow kids to focus on their deepest passion and the enthusiasm for her program is accelerating. A veteran teacher and trainer, Angela knows that the heart needs to be engaged for the mind to deliver its best performance. However, what distinguishes Angela is that she is a doer. She's currently launching a national campaign called Choose2Matter that has arrested the imagination of educators across the nation and abroad. If one needs proof that Angela is on to something, the proof is reflected in her 100,000 plus Twitter followers.
