Motivation and Parenting

Motivation and Parenting with Sherri Fisher

      KEY POINTS

  • Everybody needs to be motivated.
  • The greatest gift you can give to someone is the gift of motivation.
  • Every experience is essential in a kid's mind.

 Join me in this exciting episode of the Business and Happiness Podcast as I engage with Sherri Fisher and chat about Motivation and Parenting. Sherri is an author, coach, consultant, and speaker who has dedicated decades to challenging the Effort Myth, both in education and private practice. Sherri has learned that it is not how hard someone tries that leads to their success; it's how they try hard that matters most.

As a learning specialist and executive coach for students and their parents, Sherri individualizes research-based tools that build skilled resilience, motivation, and self-direction. These are the foundations of true success. As a schools consultant, Sherri has guided educators and administrators to nurture the flexibility, strengths, and relationships that help improve academic and life outcomes.

She is also the Director of Learn & Flourish, an education coaching and consulting firm with clients on five continents. She earned her Master’s degree in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, where she studied with the field's founders and discovered life-long friends and colleagues.
