What's Right with You? 

Holly Elissa Bruno, MA, JD, bestselling, award-winning author, and international keynoter

 

Children are often asked, overtly or covertly: "What's wrong with you?" Adults, too, focus on our faults rather than our talents/strengths. Imagine changing the conversation to: "What's right with you?" as we seek the unique giftedness of each child, in our peers and ourselves?

A child is more than her diagnosis. An adult is more than her shortcomings. Join us in discovering how this simple change of perspective changes every interaction for the better. Rilke encourages us to "Learn to love the questions." "What's right with you?" is a question to love.
