Introducing Tracey Campbell – Behaviour Expert

Opogo is excited to welcome behaviour expert, Tracey Campbell to our Lunch & Learn webinar series.

Tracey Campbell is the Director and Lead Trainer of Together Transforming Behaviour Ltd. She is a Behaviour Management Consultant, Coach, Trainer, Teacher, Speaker and Author of two books: “Will You be the One?” and “Behaviour Basics for Parents”.

Tracey’s ability to positively engage with children with behaviour difficulties was quickly detected leading to her becoming one of only a few Advanced Skills Teachers in Behaviour Management.

Tracey has her own moving story of multiple exclusions from school and her encounter with a supportive teacher, which she uses to inspire adults working in education; to look beyond a child’s behaviour and see the need to be a constant caring presence who conveys hope and commitment.

She says “I’m convinced my story is not unique – I got into heaps of trouble at school because of my own behaviour and I remember many of my teachers having little or no hope that I would change. I was however, fortunate enough to have one teacher whose belief in me despite my behaviour had a profound impact on my life. Despite many negative predictions about my future; I now spend my days teaching teachers how to manage behaviour. This happened because one teacher never lost sight of ME in the midst of my behaviour. She never let go of the hope that I could do more, be more and become more.”

As the resident behaviour consultant on the show, Tracey led parents through her Behaviour Basics Programme with astonishing results.
