If there is one thing 2020 has taught us, it is that we are not always able to control the things that most affect us.

She will offer practical, actionable steps for parents, coaches, teachers and mentors who want kids to take hold of their lives, ownership of their learning, and become competent, fulfilled, happier young adults. There may also be a few heartwarming surprises in store during the event, so you won't want to miss it!
