Educators

Create an environment of curiosity

Building resilience to harness diversity and change

Improve the ability of students to concentrate and transition

Increase confidence and calm

Educators and their institutions are one of the greatest influencers on the next generation. Mental and emotional models of personal competence, empathy and individuation are formed during the adolescent years of school. Helping young people with both self awareness and being societally conscious will have the biggest impact on how our governmental, corporate and social systems evolve for future generations.

Improving the mental state, level of resilience and self leadership ability of graduating adolescents is what drives my passion to work directly with educators.

I have been working in schools since 2008, positively impacting the mindset of students, teachers and staff. Working with educators is my passion.

Presentations

What the “HELP!” is going on?

Fun, fascinating and informative talk for adolescents about how their brain is quite exceptional and ready to learn. Students will become familiar with both the limbic and thinking brain as we touch on how the brain develops, its uniqueness in the adolescent years. This is a journey of discovering why they’re behaviours, emotions relationships and decision making changes through the adolescent years. We will also explore what it is so easy to become addicted to various substances and behaviours during this period of brain development. Presentation includes an eye opening experiment that usually makes student’s jaws drop!

Strategies for conscious management of the transition are presented, as well as identification of habits that hinder health and brain development and performance. A version of this presentation is also available for teachers and parents of adolescents.

Target Audience:
13 to 18 years of age, parents of adolescents, teachers

Healthy Choices = Healthy Brain & Happy Me

Fun and interactive presentation describing, in age appropriate ways, how the body needs water, fuel, rest, exercise and stillness (mediation, day dreaming, etc) to perform at its best. We touch upon the concepts of “you are what you eat”, “move the body to grow the body & mind”, “still the body to settle the energy in order to create new things”.

The take aways are 5 healthy habits that are easy to remember and put into practice.

Target Audience:
10 to 13 years of age
