Whole Champion Workbooks
Imagine you and your students building a deeper relationship with each other and the whole world and turning awareness into action. That's the goal of the Whole Champion Workbooks.
The Whole Champion Workbooks are available for students at all three levels—elementary school, middle school, and high school. Each was designed to evoke personal growth, meaningful discussions, questions and ‘aha’ moments, breakthroughs, and purposeful action.
The workbooks emerged from A Whole Person Makes the Whole World Better. While it is not imperative that you read the book, it is the basis of the Whole Champion workbooks. Critical points from the book are highlighted throughout the workbooks.
So grab your copies today, engage with your students, and explore what it takes to be a Whole Champion.

We live in an era where awareness of local and global issues is critical to creating positive change. Awareness of personal, social, and environmental issues is how we champion real positive change for the greater good.

About the Author
I have spent much of my life training to be a champion of sport. With the current condition of the world and the challenges facing humanity and the environment, my focus greatly shifted. I now pay close attention to the issues confronting our beautiful planet and give of myself far beyond my own needs. I am teaching myself to become a champion of change.
My mission is to embolden the concepts of whole and champion so they may be adopted globally to help the planet and its inhabitants prosper. A single person cannot change the world, but a unified effort to champion a positive difference can influence the whole world.
“The payoffs of courage and effort to create change aren’t always immediately obvious, but they work as a mighty tectonic force that can shift the future in fundamental ways.”
