CareOne Spring 2011 Talent Show
LYCS Leaders share their talent with seniors at CareOne in Livingston.
Rachel Simmons
Rachel Simmons is a bestselling author, educator and coach. She works internationally to develop strategies to address bullying and empower girls. She is co-founder of the Girl Leadership Institute and serves as a consultant to schools and organizations around the world. Rachel has appeared on Oprah, is a frequent contributor to the Today Show, and appears regularly in the national media.
Simmon’s work is guided by three core beliefs:
* A Connected Girl is a Happy Girl: Authentic, trusting relationships increase girls’ resilience and embolden them to feel confident, motivated and inspired. Simmons believes that when girls have the tools to choose the right relationships and manage conflict, incidences of bullying and aggression are reduced.
* Relationships are the “Fourth R”: Relationships are one of girls’ most important classrooms. Relationships are where girls learn the skills to express their needs, accommodate others, and take healthy risks, among other lessons. Her work gives girls tools to navigate the powerful social pressure to sacrifice one’s needs to make others happy. This kind of integrity and balance forms the foundation for success in all areas of life: school, sports and extracurricular activities – and later, the workplace and family.
* True Change Begins with Us: The Adults Invested in Girls’ Success. No matter how big your community – as big as a school, or as small as your family – we are all powerful teachers and must lead by example.
