Damen Lopez is the founder of the No Excuses University Network of Schools and author of the book, No Excuses Leadership. With nearly 25 years of educational leadership experience, his vision of expanding the leadership capacity on a school campus to go far beyond the principal’s office is starting to take shape for schools at every level across the country. Focusing on the Nine BOLD Leadership Choices exceptional leaders make, Damen engages with tens of thousands of educators to help guide them to success. His Leadership Academy events dig deep into the Nine Bold Choices of Servant Leadership, Presence, Candor, Cracking the Code of the Naysayer, Simplicity, Laughter, Feed and Be Fed, Going All In, and Sustaining Momentum. While components of this app (Servant Leadership, Tip of the Week and Archives) are available for anyone, it has been designed primarily for No Excuses Leadership Academy graduates.
