SUMMARY:Hope in the Age of Artificial Everything
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we live\, learn\, and lead\, making human-centered leadership skills more essential than ever. Dr. Julia Garcia integrates psychological insight\, cultural innovation\, and lived community impact to help leaders strengthen the human capacities technology cannot replicate.\nDrawing from experience supporting over a million people through cultural and mental health challenges\, partnering with hundreds of schools\, organizations\, and communities\, and building award-winning tools used around the world\, Dr. Garcia delivers a high-energy conversation grounded in real-world insight. She equips us with the mental habits that fuel clear thinking\, courageous communication\, and meaningful connection in a rapidly shifting landscape. \nIn a time when AI can mimic almost anything\, Dr. Garcia gives audiences what technology cannot: real activation. Through live interaction\, courageous conversations\, and behavioral-science-backed exercises\, she interrupts the habits that cause people to hold back and helps them build the ones that move cultures forward. Participants do not just learn the habits of hope. They practice them in real time.\nA psychologist\, cultural technologist\, and spoken-word storyteller\, Dr. Garcia blends science\, story\, and strategy to create an experience that leaves audiences not just informed\, but deeply engaged\, aligned\, and more human together.  This presentation draws from her new book\, The 5 Habits of Hope (HarperCollins)\, a practical\, research-backed framework for strengthening the mental habits that expand human capacity and community connection. \nLearning Outcomes: \nStrengthen the human skills that drive clarity\, collaboration\, and meaningful connection. \nBuild cultures where trust and purpose guide the people who carry out the mission across leadership teams\, classrooms\, and communities. \nReduce burnout and disconnection through evidence-based mental habits that improve communication\, problem-solving\, and adaptability.

SUMMARY:The New Science of Rumination\, Trauma\, and Well-Being\, with Donna Jackson Nakazawa
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on contemporary neuroscience from Nakazawa’s book\, Mind Drama\, this  webinar is designed for adoptive\, foster\, and kinship parents raising children who have experienced early adversity\, attachment disruptions\, and chronic stress. It explores how children’s brains and nervous systems can become caught in patterns of looping thoughts\, self-criticism\, worry\, or dissociation\, how these responses originate in the Survival Brain and default mode network\, and why these neurobiological responses in response to stress often reflect attempts to feel safe. Parents will learn about effective therapeutic interventions that specifically address trauma-related ruminative thought patterns. The program also helps parents recognize when their own worry\, overwhelm\, or rumination may be making it harder to stay present and responsive\, offering simple strategies to pause\, regulate\, and reconnect with themselves and their children.
