Hello. I'm Laurie, the Founder of START
It started...
On a flight to speak at an ethics conference in Washington, DC, I sat next to a professor from Duke University who I hoped would provide a cheat-sheet of things to do to get my son into a college like Duke. My son was four at the time.
The professor, concerned that I may have been missing the big picture when it came to the purpose of childhood and college, told me that in his experience, only 10% of students are prepared to truly succeed and to be happy and healthy in college and in life. And he knew their secrets.
"I know who, and I know why, and
it's not what you think."
The "secrets" I learned on our five-hour, cross country trip profoundly changed my perspective on success and happiness, reframed my career goals, and inspired the creation of an effective new paradigm in preparing kids to succeed and be happy in the current, high pressure environments.
I hope you'll join me and the thousands of families who have experienced this positive, productive, and constructive approach. It's effective and enjoyable - for you and your kids. And together, we can begin to shift the culture in our schools and communities for good.
