I am looking forward to my next presentation at the Rotary Club of Wayzata, MN, on Feb 7, 2018. I will be presenting on the topic of “Long term psychological impact of bullying” which is based on my first book titled “A Life Interrupted – the story of my battle with bullying and obsessive compulsive disorder”. It will be a new experience for me since I have not spoken at any of the Rotary club meetings.
After that I will be traveling to Anaheim, CA, for a presentation at a conference of the ACSA (Association of California School Administrators) on Feb 15, 2018. The topic of my presentation will be “Strong social/emotional health is key to overall success” which will also be based on my first book. The theme of this conference/symposium is “Every Child Counts”, which is exactly in line with what my presentation is all about. I am also excited to learn that I will be one of the “featured speakers” at this symposium.
I have spoken at many conferences around the country but I have not had that many opportunities to speak in front of school administrators. That makes this conference even more important because school administrators are the ones who are typically in charge of developing and maintaining a positive school culture where every child can feel safe and is able to learn in a supportive environment. I am hoping that this experience will open the door for me to speak at more conferences of school administrators.
