Michele Borba, Ed.D., is an internationally renowned educational psychologist, best-selling author, and expert in parenting, bullying, and character development. Her latest book, "Thrivers," is an urgently needed guide to address the staggering increase in anxiety, stress and emptiness for children from preschool to high school. She explains why the old markers of accomplishment (grades, test scores) are no longer reliable predictors of success in the 21st century - and offers 7 teachable traits that will safeguard our kids for the future. Those essential character strengths--confidence, empathy, self-control, integrity, curiosity, perseverance and optimism--will allow kids to roll with the punches and succeed in life.
Dr. Borba is a sought-after motivational speaker who has spoken in 19 countries on five continents and served as a consultant to hundreds of schools and corporations. She is a regular NBC contributor and the award-winning author of 25 books translated into 19 languages. Dr. Borba is a former classroom and special education teacher with a wide range of teaching experience, including work in a private practice with children with learning and emotional disabilities. She received a Doctorate in Educational Psychology and Counseling from the University of San Francisco, an M.A. in Learning Disabilities and B.A. from the University of Santa Clara, and Life Teaching Credential from San Jose State University. She lives in Palm Springs with her husband and has three grown sons.
This event will include a 45 minute lecture by Dr. Borba followed by a 30 minute Q & A session and then a book-signing.
