Finish Strong: Change Starts Here’s Dustin Odham Shares Advice on Finishing the School Year Strong

Dallas, TX – As the school year draws to a close, there is often a temptation to coast to the finish line. However, Dustin Odham, Managing Director at FranklinCovey and host of Change Starts Here, encourages educators and students alike to finish strong and make the most of those final weeks of school.

In a recent episode of Change Starts Here, Odham shared how his nine-year-old son reminded him of this lesson. After overcoming three straight walks while on the pitcher’s mound, Luke Taylor Odham regrouped and struck out the next three batters. This experience taught both father and son about standing up to challenges and having the courage to finish.

As a highly experienced leadership consultant and trainer at FranklinCovey, Odham has helped countless individuals and organizations enhance their leadership skills and achieve their goals. He encourages educators to fight through the desire to coast at the end of the school year and instead focus on finishing strong.
