ReLaunch Your Life

Join career change expert Bonnie Pond and guest, Penny Holguin for a lively discussion the reasons behind her first book, staying motivated despite setbacks and disappointments, and finding your true purpose along the way. Penny is the author of Sarah O'Hara-Gift of the Fairy Wings, a children's picture book that's won three national awards. She was inspired to write her book because her ADHD daughter wasn't picking up on social cues. Having worked with her daughter's difficult behavior for years, Penny knew that lessons told through story and character were a much more effective way of helping all kids to learn. Concerned about the escalating tide of bullying, Penny brings her message to teachers, parents, and children letting them know that kindness is an alternative to bullying. She speaks to educators about the neurology of learning and how simple acts of kindness taught repetitively and rewarded publicly can make huge shifts in behavior and have a transforming impact in difficult classrooms. If you've ever thought about writing a children's book or if you work with children, this show is one you won't want to miss.
