Jenna Druck Center’s 14TH Annual “Spirit of Leadership” conference Adult Workshop
Saturday, November 19, 2011, Noon – 3:30 p.m.
Francis Parker School, 6501 Linda Vista Rd. San Diego, CA 92111
200 middle and high school girls from throughout San Diego County will be honored and celebrated at the Jenna Druck Center’s annual “Spirit of Leadership” conference on November 19. Each girl attending the conference was nominated by members of the community for her demonstrated and emerging leadership qualities—whether in academics, sports, the arts, or other extracurricular activities.
This inspiring conference will also include an afternoon workshop for adults led by Lisa Nichols of Motivating the Teen Spirit. Nichols’ workshop, “Parent Empowerment” will include listening to what your child is not saying; hearing your child’s silent cry for help; learning new listening skills; limiting toxic behaviors that are transferred to children; learning how to create new beginnings; and increasing parenting skills through Self-Awareness.
Also leading the adult workshop will be Tami Walsh, M.A. “Easing the Temperature in the Pressure-Cooker A Solution Based Approach to the Pressures Students, Parents and Schools Face Today!” will include the latest “up to the minute” information about “parenting in the pressure cooker;” current research about the newest (and dangerous) pressures kids face today; and practical solutions and strategies to improve stress and anxiety.
The workshop is open to the public and will begin at noon and end at 3:30. RSVP. to leadership@jennadruck.org. A donation of $15.00 is suggested.
