Grace Institute Breakfast

My guests and I were inspired, to say the least, when we heard the stories of two amazing women graduates of Grace Institute's multi-week program. Today thanks to Grace Institute, women enter (or re-enter) the workplace with more confidence, new skills and rediscovered talent!

Just back from South Africa, I learned about the horrors of apartheid that still linger. While today’s crazy events can depress me and weaken my resolve, I keep in mind Mandela’s example, to stay strong and keep my eye on the ulitmate mission — that is, the change we need in education, in government, in society. I’m deeply honored to be recognized by World of Money with three others on November 1st. To see a better way to teach financial literacy click here.

As an inspired teacher and now Director of Education at Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, Dena Simmons teaches us so much, especially about what we thought we 'knew.'  Congratulations on your TED talk live at Town Hall I was lucky enough to attend last fall that's already been viewed by over 450,000 people. My New Year's hope and prayer: your incredible talk (and walk,too, by the way!) might transform hundreds of thousands children's lives.
