About Julie Bartkus
Julie
Bartkus is the president and founder of Motivate Teachers.
Motivate Teachers is an internationally known company that helps
child care professionals create dynamic, positive, and
productive environments for working and learning through
customized keynote presentations, workshops, coaching and
consulting services.
Julie has spent the past decade
researching constructive and destructive communication patterns
and the impacts of each on child care programs throughout the
United States and beyond. As a result of her research, she
developed a specific step-by-step plan of action to help child
care leaders manage, motivate, and retain great staff. Her plan
of action targets the elimination of destructive communication
patterns (including gossip) and the breaking down of
communication barriers that often prevent staff from functioning
as a dynamic team.
Julie

help child care leaders eliminate workplace gossip.
