Mills Rodgers Biography
Mills Rodgers, known professionally as Mr. Rodge, is a nationally recognized author, keynote speaker, and educator whose work focuses on educational equity, personal development, and leadership. Rodgers has served as an Army veteran and public school educator, working as a mental health specialist in the Army and spending 15 years in public schools as a general education and special education teacher, instructional specialist, and case manager. He also holds certification as an administrator. These experiences across military service and classroom education provide Rodgers with a multidimensional perspective relevant to diverse audiences in education and leadership.
Rodgers is the author of the book series, "Success Is a Process, Not an Event," which explores growth mindset, leadership, and resilience to support teachers, leaders, and students in achieving their potential. The series includes editions for both students and educators. Another book, "You Can Win Being You!" reflects his philosophy that individuals can succeed on their own terms.
Rodgers works with educators to improve campus culture by addressing the needs of those they lead and serve, aiming to increase student achievement, morale, and efficiency. He provides practical strategies for strengthening relationships, engaging families, and building inclusive cultures in educational settings, including Head Start programs, elementary schools, and special education services. His keynote, "Being a Champion for Kids," addresses topics such as building productive relationships with students and families, classroom management, educational leadership, and equity.
Rodgers is an advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion, with a particular focus on children with special needs. His experiences as both an educator and a parent to a child with disabilities inform his inclusive approach and provide insight into the needs of individuals with disabilities. This personal perspective shapes his presentations and outreach.
Rodgers connects with audiences of all ages and backgrounds through his experiences as a military veteran, educator, entrepreneur, and family member of a person with disabilities. He has spoken about overcoming financial struggles and personal challenges, encouraging educators, students, and community leaders to embrace resilience and take ownership of their success.

We All Can Win! Being A Champion & Ally
The objective of this presentation is to improve workplace and community culture through appropriate advocacy of marginalized populations (race, gender, disability, orientation). We talk about how you can make a difference for those populations while not appearing to have a "savior" mentality or approach, which can be perceived as demeaning. We explain the similarities and differences between being a champion and ally, equality vs. equity, and the day to day experience of microaggressions. In order to be an effective champion & ally, we must do a deep dive into 3 important questions.
-
You Can Win Being You!
Many of us feel inadequate or undeserving of success because of an unreasonable degree of self consciousness. We must understand our purpose; purpose leads us to having vision, ultimately resulting in tangible outcomes in performance. Let's begin the process of attracting the change we want in our lives by beginning to find our purpose! Understand your SHAPE, know that you are a BEAST, and that success is in 3D.
