And lead with strength.
So often I see parents, when they're talking about their child, first talk about where they fall short.
Well, he has this, he's this, he's that.
Instead of starting with my child, he is so incredibly curious.
He has an explorer's brain.
And when he is out and about in the world, he is the first to find things, the first to help you find something.
He just has an eye for it.
It is amazing.
Sure.
I would say my main focus is helping the adults in children's lives to see them as assets to be developed rather than deficits to be managed.
Every single child comes in with an amazing amount of strengths, but often they're covered over by what I refer to as dirty laundry.
You've got to dig a little bit sometimes because they've been labeled, they've been
you know, made to feel inferior in different ways.
They're carrying around wounds and scars.
And so many kids have these strengths that, you know, that some very few people might see.
And yet, you know, we as a whole need to need to really help them to uncover them so that other people can see them and they can really see them for themselves.
So that would be my main focus.
I do that through speaking.
I speak on leadership, strength finding rather than fault finding.
I speak on bullying, body image and bringing about character in children.
