Coach Delivers His Message to Peers at Woodbury
Once again, Coach Micheal Burt was able to go back to his roots in Cannon County, this time to perform a teaching in-service at Woodbury Grammar School. The event, sponsored by FirstBank, had many of the same educators in attendance that guided Coach Burt through his schooling and into his vocation now as a Leadership Expert.
The two hour session was focused on Coach Burt’s signature message of finding your unique voice in life. Despite growing up in a small town, Coach Burt made it clear that there is more out there if a person chooses to take that path. He encouraged others to not be discriminating external factors that push a person down from chasing their dominant aspirations.
When finished, over 100 spectators rose to give Coach Burt a standing ovation. For some, the reasons could be different but the overall understanding is that Coach Burt has gained the admiration and respect from his peers in Cannon County. A former teacher himself, Coach Burt realizes the importance of educators noting for most parents, “The person watching their children is more important than the President of the United States.”
With any job in life, at certain points a person may lose the motivation or focus on what is truly important. Coach Burt rejuvenated this group of educators to realize this is their vocation in life and more importantly their passion.
“I enjoyed my time with the elementary teachers of Cannon County this morning,” said Coach Burt. “Many of these people touched my life in some way and I’m always grateful for those that did encourage me to dream big, and not small. Thanks to FirstBank for sponsoring this special event.”
