Number 1: The Connected Girl: The EQ Advantage with Rosalind Wiseman
“Two things are true: girls need a voice and need to have that voice celebrated….and they also need to be able to create space for other people, their peers, to be able to listen to them.” -Rosalind Wiseman Perhaps, emotional intelligence (EQ)—the critical skills used to get along in a world full of others who don’t think or feel like we do—should get more attention. The reality is that as we manage our lives, it is our EQ that helps us navigate relationships and express our feelings productively. The good news? Emotional intelligence can be strengthened through reflection, practice, and experience. The further good news? This is important work that we can do in partnership with the girls in our lives; we can and should help them be smart about being emotionally smart as it will matter to their ability to get along in the world. In this episode, "The EQ Advantage," Rosalind Wiseman focuses on why and how a girl’s EQ is critical to her meaningful engagement with the world around her. Rosalind, a bestselling author and thought leader, works on the global stage helping parents, educators and students understand the fascinating realm of EQ and its impact on our lives. Rosalind has a unique ability to capture challenging concepts in compelling, “sticky” phrases, and she is on a quest to help us do this important work in our lives and the lives of our girls.

Number 5: Value of Athletics for Girls
“I feel like exercising every day helps me grow as an individual because I am learning to love my body and all the things that it can do… it makes me realize that I can achieve anything,” Student | Girls Athletic Leadership School 82% of women executives participated in a sport at one time in their lives beyond the elementary school level, and 60% credited sports participation with helping them develop a competitive edge that aided them with succeeding professionally. Beyond the joy, energy, and confidence students gain from athletics, research demonstrates that daily exercise improves memory, attention, and cognition. So how do we ensure that movement is included as part of each girls’ education? In this episode of PEP Talks: Podcast on Educational Possibilities, host Olivia Haas, Director of Strategic Communications & Media at NCGS, explores how athletics and movement impact girls’ growth on a day-to-day basis as well as the life-long impact.

Olivia is joined by featured guests and girls’ school educators at the Girls Athletic Leadership Schools (GALS): Carol Bowar, Executive Director of GALS Denver in Colorado, and Carrie Wagner, Founder and Executive Director of GALS Los Angeles in California and CEO of GALS Inc.
