EDUCATION:

“Flip Flippen has written a clear and powerful book that should speak to anyone who's ever wondered how to get their personal 'balloon' to soar higher.  The message is one of courageous responsibility in addressing personal constraints, and reading The Flip Side has inspired me to keep going down that hard but rewarding road.  He is a man who consistently walks his talk.”
Bill Milliken, Founder and Vice Chairman, Communities in Schools

“I can think of no greater tool to increase the effectiveness of an outstanding group of administrators.  Jim Collins in Good To Great indicated that it is most difficult to move an organization, or individual, from good performance to the next level--he is right.  Your book and assessment techniques will provide me the opportunity to help my direct reports to become even more effective by addressing their ‘personal constraints.’  My direct reports will then have the opportunity to do the same, and the snowball will continue to grow and roll."
David Anthony, Superintendent, Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District

“It has been an honor to participate in the Flippen Leadership Series, which has provided to me personally a means of self-assessment and analysis of performance and productivity.  In our school district it will indeed have a profound effect upon our goal of becoming a high-performing team committed to make a positive impact in the lives of our children.”
Ann Killets, Chief Academic Officer, Palm Beach County School District (11th largest school district in the nation; Earned an “A” from the Florida Department of Education)

“Flip Flippen’s work on ‘Overcoming Personal Constraints’ is a must read for any leader.  The challenges of America’s urban leaders in performance accountability, public safety, budgetary shortfalls and politics underscore Flippen’s hypothesis that the organization cannot exceed the limitation of the leader!”
Art Johnson, Ph.D., Superintendent, Palm Beach County School District (11th largest school district in the nation; Earned an “A” from the Florida Department of Education)

"Over the years, I have watched your organization grow and develop into a profoundly positive enterprise.  The combination of your innovative methods, inspirational leadership, and incessant energy was certain to be fruitful.  Thank you for the great contributions to education that you have made."
Senator Stephen E. Ogden, State of Texas

Paula Zahn, Host Paula Zahn Now, CNN

I implore you to let this book touch you.”
