Tagline: Thought Leadership

Keynote Topics

Young people are asking for, and sometimes demanding, leadership roles in new and innovative ways. But they rarely have the skills to apply “leadership moments” when it matters most. In this workshop designed for educators and young people, Rosalind Wiseman shares how students can bring dignity into their understanding of leadership and learn effective strategies to manage groups, inspire, and listen to others.

Topics covered:

  • Defining leadership outside of formal roles
  • Showing the difference between being bossy and leadership
  • Understanding how young people’s experiences with those in authority influence their leadership styles
  • Creating a feeling of belonging in the group so people feel their contribution is valued
  • Managing conflict as a leader and transforming these moments into resilience skill-building experiences.
  • Learning to advocate and work with adults

Creating a Culture of Dignity With Young People  

As young people navigate a constantly changing educational environment, we know one thing is certain: Supportive relationships and social skills are critical to their emotional well-being. But these skills are not “soft skills.” They are essential for kids to engage in their education and support their emotional and mental health. From their friendships, anxiety, social media, conflicts with friends and family, and the constant pressure to “keep up,” this presentation will share insights and strategies to best connect—especially when they need us most. 

Topics covered: 

  • The current landscape for young people 
  • Defining the difference between dignity and respect and its essential role in relationships with young people 
  • Concrete, relatable strategies to support young people’s development and resilience 
  • Effective communication between adults and young people to avoid power struggles 

Having Brave, Life-Changing Conversations

How can we have honest conversations about topics that silence most of us or in which only a few people dominate? How do we create and sustain an inclusive community where people feel a sense of belonging? How do we know when to advocate for each other or receive feedback when our intentions don’t match our impact?

We live in a time where it can feel too hard, and too frightening for some of us to step into these moments and make a difference. This presentation shows you how.

Topics covered:

  • Managing emotions in contentious interactions
  • Recognizing the difference between a curious question and a question that intensifies conflict
  • Transforming people’s discomfort into the capacity to build relationships and resilience
  • Realizing the connection between emotional regulation, emotional hijacking, and boundaries

We can be the people we aspire to be and have the relationships we want in our families, places of work, and communities. We can define and hold ourselves to high expectations and care for our emotional capacity and mental health.

Join Rosalind Wiseman as she shows us how to embrace the power of dignity to build courage, connection, and community. In this inspiring presentation filled with (un)common sense and humor, Rosalind shares her powerful insights to develop a principled life. With this path to keep our thoughts and actions on course, we maintain a sense of purpose, meaning, and capacity no matter what comes our way.

Topics covered:

  • Defining the difference between respect and dignity to transform relationships
  • Understanding emotional regulation
  • Valuing high expectations and high support
  • Creating and maintaining boundaries

Adolescents have always needed friends and meaningful social lives. Both are essential to young people’s mental and emotional health now and as they develop into adults. But with this generation, who must integrate the experience of COVID into their social development, the social road is often filled with challenges.

Meanwhile, the worry of falling behind and keeping up academically is real. The consequence is often confusion and anxiety about how to support young people as they navigate their social lives, develop academic resilience, and maintain their mental health.

Topics covered:

  • An overview of understanding young people’s emotions and their social dynamics
  • Defining loyalty in friendships and other relationships
  • Establishing and maintaining boundaries as an invaluable part of any healthy relationship
  • Strategies to strengthen communication between adults and young people about relationships
