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 2: The Connected Girl: Guidance for Girls in The Age of AI with Tyler Gaspich
“I definitely feel concerned about how in the process of girls applying to college or looking for career paths that AI might displace or replace jobs in companies wanting to cut costs and automate processes.” -High School Junior Artificial Intelligence. Machines and systems that can imitate human cognitive function. It is both terrifying and exciting at once. Some happily exclaim it is the future; others warn it will change the world as we know it. AI, no longer confined to the realm of science fiction, is ubiquitous; embedded in nearly every facet of our daily lives. And that reality means AI is a new force to be reckoned with in the lives of the girls we know. Their knowledge of it matters in their lives today and far into their future. Yet, even as AI connects the girls in our lives to a world of unimagined possibilities, the adults responsible for helping them on the journey struggle to wrap their heads around this new kind of intelligence. In this episode we learn from Tyler Gaspich, an educator at the frontlines of this technology tsunami. Tyler, Director of Information Resources and Technologies at the Academy of Notre Dame de Namur near Philadelphia is personally and professionally steeped in the AI arena as a teacher, administrator, and task force member studying AI with other school technology professionals. Using concrete examples, Tyler demystifies the language of AI, providing guidelines and wisdom for parents raising daughters in a world in which AI plays an increasingly larger role—for both good and bad.
