I believe professional development should never be boring. 🥱 It should challenge you, inspire you, and remind you why you started this work in the first place. Whether you’re looking to strengthen school culture, empower your team, or reignite your passion—I’m here to help. 👋🏼 Check out this short video to see the 💙 behind the work I do with schools and districts across the country. Then let’s talk about how I can support your team this year. Reply to this and I’ll send you a DM with a link with more info! 😃 Let’s build something great—together. #EducationMatters #SchoolCulture #ProfessionalDevelopment #ToddNesloney

As a dad of twin boys, finding books that open the door to important conversations matters so much to me. One book we’ve really loved lately is Brothers Are Not for Hitting. It’s simple, honest, and such a great reminder for little ones about kindness, emotions, and how we treat the people we love most. And honestly? The illustrations are fantastic too. My boys stayed engaged the entire time, which every parent knows is a huge win. Books like this help create moments for conversations that matter. Not just about behavior, but about love, patience, grace, and learning how to handle big feelings in healthier ways. If you’re a parent of boys, educator, or someone looking for books that teach life lessons in a meaningful and kid-friendly way, this one is definitely worth adding to your shelf.

There’s a difference between caring for people… and carrying people. As leaders, helpers, parents, and friends, we often want to fix things for those we care about. We want to encourage them, support them, and help pull them through hard seasons. But here’s something I’ve had to learn the hard way: You cannot help someone grow if they are committed to staying where they are. Some people don’t want accountability. They want an audience. Some don’t want healing. They want comfort in the chaos because it’s familiar. And if we’re not careful, we can pour so much into rescuing others that we neglect our own peace, our own health, and the people depending on us most. You can love people deeply and still set boundaries. You can care about someone and still protect your energy. You can support others without sacrificing yourself. Not every battle is yours to carry. Protect your peace. Protect your focus. Protect the direction God is leading you. Because even the strongest hearts can become exhausted trying to save people who refuse to take hold of the life raft.

“But it hurts to remember.” “But when we choose to forget, we also lose all the good.” That line wrecked me. Some memories still hurt… but they also hold the love, the growth, and the moments that shaped me. I wrote about that tension. toddnesloney.com/2026/05/11/whe…

@TechNinjaTodd @adamdovico @burgessdave @dbc_inc This is a fantastic book! In fact, it is so good that a few years ago I gifted my well worn copy to my student teacher!

Leadership shouldn’t belong to the loudest voice in the room. It should belong to every kid. That’s what When Kids Lead is all about: ➡️ Developing leadership in all students ➡️ Giving educators real, doable structures ➡️ Shifting leadership from titles to daily action Because when more kids lead… everything changes.

Here. We. Go! Part III

Nine months ago, @JessicaCabeen and I began discussing a challenge we were both seeing in the leaders we coach every day—the relentless pace, pressure, and demands of leadership. Hustle culture had become the norm, and we felt compelled to offer leaders a healthier, more sustainable way forward. From those conversations, we developed The Drip Effect: Breaking Free From Hustle Culture—a practical framework designed to help leaders slow down, regain clarity, and rediscover their rhythm. We’re excited to share that the book is now in its final editing stage and will be available for pre-order soon. To celebrate the launch, we’ll be offering: • 40% off the retail price of $23.99 on Amazon • 50% off bulk orders of 25 or more for a limited time To inquire about bulk pre-orders, visit connectedd.org/contact Quantities and discounts are limited, so don’t wait.
