Following Spaulding’s keynote
address, share in a panel discussion with educational experts, parents, and
children whose lives have been touched by dyslexia. Experts will share helpful
information and parents and students will discuss their own experiences and
answer questions from the audience. The community event is designed to
encourage and inspire those who are dyslexic, those who teach children with
language-based learning differences, and parents raising children with bright
minds who see the world a little differently.
“Our
intention in hosting this event is to bring a message of hope and encouragement
to people identified as dyslexic and to emphasize the full picture of the
dyslexic mind, with not only the multi-sensory learning needs and capabilities
these minds have, but also the abilities and gifts of creativity and ingenuity
they possess,” said Catherine Gay, Key School parent organizer and mother of a
child with dyslexia. “We want people to know there is hope in overcoming
academic challenges with a dyslexic mind, and we want to connect people at this
event with the resources and organizations to help them do just that.”
Tommy
Spaulding is founder and president of Spaulding Companies, a leadership
development consulting firm based in Denver, Colorado. The former president and
CEO of the global leadership organization, Up with People, Spaulding founded
Leader’s Challenge, the largest high school leadership program in Colorado. He
is president and founder of Spaulding Leadership Institute, which operates
National Leadership Academy, Colorado Close Up, and Kid’s Challenge. His book, It's
Not Just Who You Know speaks to transforming your life and organization by
turning colleagues and contacts into genuine, lasting relationships.
Spaulding's newly released book is called The Heart-Led Leader: How Living
and Leading from the Heart Will Change Your Organization and Your Life. Key
Learning Center at Carolina Day School is pre-selling the book for $30, with
all proceeds supporting the event. Book signings are available after the
program.
“We are
excited to welcome such an accomplished and successful author and speaker; he
is the perfect person to bring this message,” said Gay. “We are overwhelmed by
the positive response in the community to this event and by the organizations,
educators, physicians, and caring people who have offered their time to aid us
with resources."
“My hope for this event is
that people will come away with a sense of inspiration,” said Key Learning
Center Director of Teacher Training Concha Wyatt. “The message is that although
dyslexia causes struggles with language-based learning skills, there are unique
dyslexia mind strengths that should be developed and celebrated.” Key School at Carolina Day School’s approach to learning
transforms students with language-based learning differences into high
achievers and confident, capable learners.
