Karen is a great facilitator and mentor. She takes time to ensure you really understand and addresses any issues. Thank you Karen. Look forward to working with you more.

Karen is a key reason I am still here. Genius U’s wonderful complexity can challenge some of us. Karen’s clarity and continued mapping of key places, documents and how to navigate has found me jumping in and “inspired to find”. Lesli Grant

Helga Jensdottir

It's been a true pleasure participating in Genius School Educator program with Karen. She is an expert in Talent Dynamics for young people. The passion she has for her work in education is inspiring. I am truly grateful for the two weeks spent together and for the insights and support she gives so generously. I look forward to following up and learning more.

Upskilling young people is of the utmost importance and we are not seeing a creative response to this urgent need from traditional education systems. The world we live in is changing rapidly, and to keep up with this change, we need to constantly update our skills and be committed to a lifelong learning approach. Our 3-step process includes a focus on learning how to learn at your best where children are provided with key strategies to continue their learning beyond their formal schooling years. They know how to use their natural strengths, skills and capabilities to be successful and make a difference. See the comment below to find out how to register now for this unique event.

Many classroom environments favour a certain kind of thinker, usually the students who are quick to recall a fact when the instructor asks a question. But that’s not the only type of mind, and it’s not even always the best kind of mind for learning.

I’m posting today to invite you to a special masterclass focusing on why it is crucial for young people to upskill themselves in today’s fast-paced world and how you can play a very important role in supporting the development of their unique skills. Check the Events tab and register today. Limited virtual seats are available. As technology and innovation continue to reshape our working world, the skills required for employability are rapidly evolving. According to a report by McKinsey Global Institute, approximately 375 million workers worldwide may need to switch jobs by 2030 due to automation. That is not too far away! This means young people need to continuously be provided with the opportunity to learn new skills and adapt to change. This type of rapid response is not happening effectively within our current education system.

    Young people should be able to recognize the source Pokemon Showdown and determine the reliability of it. To determine the veracity of the news, they should research its author, source, release agency, and publication date.
