Among the keynotes Dr. Beth delivers are:

Parents, Teens and Business

Conflict at home can have a serious effect on the business world: adults are stressed and less productive at work, while teens’ psyches can be marred when they eventually join the workforce.  In this talk, Dr. Beth explains how closer parent-teen relationships can lead to happier employees and healthier work environments.  This can further result in building stronger communities and a higher-quality workforce for the next generation.

Stepping Into Teen Greatness

Teens undergo drastic physical, mental and emotional changes, have to deal with school and social pressures, and are bombarded by media, sex and other influences.  In this keynote, Dr. Beth discusses how teens can reconcile all these factors, realize they’re in a normal stage of development, and begin stepping into their greatness.  By accepting themselves exactly as they are, teens can become more of who they want to be in life.

Bridging the Parent/Teen Communication Gap

The teen years are a critical time for teens and parents to find ways to accept and connect with each other.  In this presentation, Dr. Beth offers proven techniques to help parents listen so their teens will talk to them, and also how teens can talk so parents will listen.  Using open communication, self-reflection, compassion, playfulness and other practices, parents and teens can learn to develop closer, healthier, more meaningful relationships.

As a psychologist, coach, educator, speaker and songwriter, Dr. Beth brings a warmth, passion and playfulness to all of her talks.  Borrowing stories and knowledge gained from working with hundreds of families, Dr. Beth offers compelling ideas on how to improve the communication between parents and children, how to reduce parenting stress, how to create new avenues for self-care and self-expression, and much more.>/p>
