What we believe

Teaching should be joyful and teachers can feel successful...even in the face of challenging circumstances.

Meet the Authors & Consultants

We’re Lindsay Prendergast, Piper Lee, and Amanda Brueggeman. Together, we help K-12 schools and systems embed resilience—not as a buzzword, but as a habit.

In a world where educators are stretched thin, leaders are navigating constant change, and students face unprecedented challenges, resilience isn’t optional. It’s the mindset and set of behaviors that allow educators and leaders to show up fully—for themselves, their teams, and their students.

We bring energy, expertise, and empathy to every engagement:

This isn’t about “pushing through” or adding more to your plate. It’s about building habits that help you cross the finish line intact.

Learn more about our services

Resilience Is a Habit, Not a Trait.

Resilience doesn’t “just happen” because you’ve faced challenges. It’s not about gritting your teeth or doing it all. It’s a series of intentional practices:

🌱 Building boundaries—not walls—to protect your purpose.
🌱 Creating networks of support.
🌱 Leading change before it leads you.

And much more. These habits don’t only sustain educators—they transform entire school cultures.

What our clients say…

Lindsay and Piper offer tons of practical application in a personable and friendly delivery. They bring strong research to explore challenges as well as strategies for improving situations.

You all are great presenters. I only wish the class was longer!

Thank you for verbalizing and writing in a book the experiences that we are all living!

This was an awesome presentation that provided me with a new outlook on my upcoming leadership role that I will embark upon in this new school year.

While it is not uncommon during this time of the school year that many educators may be clawing their way to the end of the school year. That is contrary for participants from today's session who left feeling energized and optimistic about what's ahead for our district. Thank you for a well-facilitated professional learning experience. You truly modeled good instructional practice, provided helpful coaching tips and resources-- all of which reflected sound principles and theories of adult learning.

I loved learning that there are actual strategies to work on becoming more resilient. Thank you!”

This will definitely be used with my students and teachers. Your work will be very beneficial to me this school year!

This training reminded me that I am important. My time is important. I can only help others if I help myself first.

I needed to hear the idea of celebrating myself when I say “nope” to things that don’t serve my purpose, strengths, or goals

I realize I can work on unlearning habits that no longer fit my purpose and this will greatly help me with applying healthy boundaries!

This training helped me realize that taking time for yourself isn’t a sign of weakness - it actually shows your strength
