If you need a shot in the arm or encouragement to stay the course, today is for you.

Allison is a professionally certified educational therapist and the Program Development Manager at the National Institute for Learning Development (NILD).

This is the podcast where we discuss leadership and innovation for teenagers. I can’t wait to introduce today’s guest!

So I had to interview Jonathan Silk to learn more about his philosophy of leadership. You’ll find Jonathan’s story and perspectives irresistible. Join me today as I interview an American hero.

On the podcast we discuss an alternative to our modern conundrum of how to keep teens engaged in meaningful education. Carol Topp is an Engineer turned accountant–I know that’s an unusual shift. In the last few years, she has worked with many teens in her accounting practice, helping them structure what she likes to call a “microbusiness”. The experiences and learning that occurs in a microbusiness can be a great catalyst toward adding significance to the otherwise “dry learning” teens dread. Let’s find out more about Carol’s experience and explore some new possibilities.
