Julie Lythcott-Haims is a very interesting and intelligent leader.  She is deeply interested in humans and living lives of meaning and purpose.  Learning more about the most important job we (parents) will ever have is imperative to me.  Julie shares detailed, research backed evidence to how we can better lead our children.  We are extremely fortunate to have Julie share her knowledge with us, the loyal listeners of The Learning Leader Show. 

Julie majored in American Studies at Stanford University and studied law at Harvard.  She practiced law in the Bay Area in the 1990s before returning to Stanford to serve in various roles including Dean of Freshmen.  In 2010 she received the university’s Lloyd W. Dinkelspiel Award for “creating the atmosphere that defines the undergraduate experience.” She is the author of the best-selling book, “How To Raise An Adult – Break Free Of The Overparenting Trap And Prepare Your Kid For Success.”
