Lets Have This Conversation

When was the last time you had a good laugh? Are you able to use laughter to project happiness or as an antidote to solve problems?  For more than 40 years, Barbara Gross has worked to help people embrace the importance of laughter and cherish how it can elevate the quality of our lives.   Gross believes you have a choice to either laugh or cry and she chooses to laugh.

“When I share my stories, people often ask me “Why do all of these funny things keep happening to you???” I reply, “If you listen carefully, they really were not that funny at the time, but in hindsight, they are hysterical!!!”

Gross joined me this week to tell me more.

If you listen to motivational speaker and life coach  Justin Brien tell his story it goes something similar to this: “I was once hopeless and lost.  But now I can show people that there is light at the end of the tunnel. That if you don't see it you just keep walking.  People can learn the power of finding your why, healthy coping mechanisms and that determination and hard work can get you out of the life you don't want to live anymore.  You have a reason to live and that reason is you.  You are unique, you are special and you deserve to be happy.”  Brien joined  me this week to tell me more.

The National Center for Learning Disabilities says:

1 in 5 children in the U.S. have learning and attention issues such as dyslexia and ADHD. Some of these children receive specialized instruction or accommodations, but many do not.

Seven out of 10 students with Learning Disabilities spend at least 80 percent of their time in general education classrooms.    How do we ensure to serve these students to the best of the abilities of our educational system, which will allow them to thrive?  Laura Reber wants to talk to you about diverse learning needs.   She is a highly trained school psychologist who has been working with students wit diverse learning needs (ADHD, learning disabilities, autism) for more than a decade. It was that experience — seeing how well students respond to individual instruction that is 100% designed with their needs in mind — that propelled her to launch Progress Parade. She joined me this week to tell me more.
