Wow! I absolutely love everything about The Pepper Effect by Sean Gaillard. Sean is an unashamedly HUGE fan of all things Beatles…he is a walking encyclopedia on their work (and music, in general!). He took his passion for the Beatles and melded it with his passion for improving education and building transformational schools and created an epic mashup that is a super fun and impactful read. It will inspire you and entertain you at the same time. I don’t consider myself a Beatles fan but I was mesmerized by the story and inspired, nonetheless. If you are a Beatles fan…you just found the motherlode!!

The Pepper Effect: Tap into the Magic of Creativity, Collaboration, and Innovation follows the journey the Beatles took in the creation of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and draws powerful lessons for educators. This is about making your school and your educational work a masterpiece. It is a fast read but you will go back to the 4 core principles again and again. I know they have brought me great inspiration and solace even this week.
