She holds a PhD in Applied Developmental Psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary and a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University. Her work focuses on developmental relationships, youth resilience, and advancing equitable, relationship-centered approaches to youth development and wellbeing. Dr. Redmond specializes in translating developmental science into practical tools for educators, families, youth-serving professionals, and community organizations, emphasizing culturally responsive and strengths-based approaches that center young people's lived experiences. She has also served as Director of School Partnership for Character Lab, co-founded by Angela Duckworth, and is a keynote speaker at the Global Center for Women and Justice's Ensure Justice Conference.Key PointsAn anti-trafficking program can teach warning signs, but it cannot replace a caring adult — if a young person doesn't feel seen, safe, and valued, information alone won't protect them.The Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets framework identifies a combination of internal strengths and external supports that young people need to thrive, and research consistently shows that the more assets a young person has, the better their outcomes.Developmental relationships go beyond good relationships — they are defined by five specific elements (express care, challenge growth, provide support, share power, and expand possibilities) that research has shown to directly impact positive youth outcomes and reduce risk.For youth who have experienced trauma, relationships have often been transactional or harmful, so the experience of someone who cares without strings attached can be surprising — which is why consistency and small, repeated moments of connection matter more than grand gestures.Belonging is not just a buzzword — when adults work to help every young person feel genuinely seen and valued in the spaces meant for them, it builds the sense of dignity that serves as a foundation for resilience.Sharing power with young people doesn't mean abandoning guidance; it means entering those relationships with a frame that sees adolescence as an age of opportunity rather than a period of storm and stress.Resilience is relational — it is not something young people build alone, but something that grows when multiple caring adults across their ecosystem show up consistently over time.Adults who want to support youth leadership can start with incremental steps: invite young people to co-create the questions, let them lead the conversation, and hold the barriers gently without squashing the vision.ResourcesSearch InstituteThe 40 Developmental Assets FrameworkGlobal Center for Women and JusticeEnding Human Trafficking PodcastAge of Opportunity: Lessons from the New Science of Adolescence by Laurence Steinberg

No son niños, ni son adultos. Necesitan a sus padres, pero no pueden ni verlos. Quieren ser únicos y, a la vez, camuflarse entre su grupo de iguales. Por si la confusión fuera poca, la metamorfosis corporal llega orquestada por una incontrolable explosión hormonal y por drásticos cambios en el cerebro, que se vuelve tan plástico en esta fase como en los primeros tres años de vida. “No se trata de una deficiencia, ni de una enfermedad, ni de una discapacidad. Es un estado vital en el que las personas son menos maduras de lo que serán de adultas”, afirma el psicólogo Larry Steinberg, profesor en la Universidad del Temple, en Filadelfia (EE. UU.), y autor del libro Age of Opportunity: Lessons from the New Science of Adolescence. En este sentido, “estudios recientes están demostrando que es una segunda edad de esplendor de la plasticidad neuronal, igual que los tres primeros años de vida. Eso hace que la adolescencia sea una etapa de gran vulnerabilidad, pues el cerebro puede dañarse por estímulos negativos, aunque también es un periodo de tremendas posibilidades. Las experiencias positivas promueven el desarrollo, y esa es la clase de oportunidad en la que debemos centrarnos”, asegura Steinberg.

It's arguable that wisdom is the result of experience and reflection.  My guest for this episode has had experiences most of us will never confront.  Luckily.  Yet, the perspective he has based on years of reflection in the most horrific circumstances, offer insights that all of us can benefit from enormously.  Just days before the end of his tour in Vietnam, Captain Charlie Plumb was shot down in his F-4 Phantom over Hanoi, on what would have been his 75th mission.  In shock, he discovered that he was being shot at as he attempted to parachute to the ground.  With bullets flying past his face and through his canopy, the severity of his situation was becoming increasingly clear.  Captain Plumb was captured, taken prisoner, brutally tortured, and spend close to six years as a prisoner of war at the infamous “Hanoi Hilton.”  While enduring unimaginable suffering, his perspective helped him to not only survive, but emerge from that experience with a perspective on life that helped him become the person he is today.  He realized that human connection, no matter how difficult it was within the camp, or how creative he needed to be, was critical to his survival.   He learned lessons about the necessity of purpose, resilience, and forgiveness.  Perhaps most remarkable was the realization that even in the midst of extreme torment, life was demanding a contribution from him.  After being released on February 18th, 1973, Captain Charlie Plumb answered that call.  He continued to fly for the US Navy for several years.  During his service, his honors include the Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, two Purple Hearts, and the P.O.W. Medal. Today, he is one of the most sought-after speakers in the world. A member of the National Speakers Hall of Fame, Captain Charlie Plumb is has shared his story and insights with over 5000 audiences.  These include some of the top organizations in the world.  He has been featured on programs such as Good Morning America, Nightline, Larry King Live, NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, and many others.  This episode is filled with invaluable insights.  Charlie shares stories and lessons that are insightful, entertaining, captivating and at times heart wrenching.  Yet, despite the value he brings to this episode, it's impossible receive the full depth of his story and all he has to offer in just over an hour.  His website is www.charlieplumb.comEvery copy of his book “I'm No Hero” is autographed.  It will no doubt be a worthwhile read.  Note: We did have a bit of technical difficulty during the interview.  I didn't realize it until after the episode was finished.  Charlie sounds really good, most importantly.  You can clearly hear me, but the audio quality for my voice is not as clean as usual.  Apologies.  Enjoy!

26th May 2020 - This is the first of our Singapore focused webinars - bridging the gap between the Middle-East and Asia - with Dennis Mark, former Vice President & General Manager, Services & Solutions, Hewlett-Packard APJ. We cover three main themes: 1) Lessons from China on ways to emerge from a pandemic, with key insights into their latest investment strategy; 2) The case for data driven digitisation, customer business model change and a gravitation towards China; and 3) The necessity for a brave leadership style, with the ability to visualise, communicate and activate the ecosystem around us.

This episode features a conversation with Chris Balme, Founder of Argonaut, a new live online community that offers young adolescents opportunities for hands-on experiences to develop wisdom, kindness and real-world skill. Chris has founded a handful of successful organizations, all centered on the learning and development of young adolescents, including the Spark Program and Millennium School. His drive to build new and different opportunities for middle schoolers comes in part from his own unhappy experience in those years, and a frustration he has with the low expectations commonly ascribed to middle school.Chris and Jason talk about Chris's strong feeling that the middle school experience needs to be more relevant for young adolescents and cater to what young adolescents are “here to do,” the advantages of creating a laboratory school in the middle grades with freedom to experiment and then share things of use to the field, his approach to translating the science of learning and development into specific educational practices, and what fuels his unsatiated entrepreneurial proclivities.Additional Readings and Resourceschrisbalme.com and Chris's blogArgonaut advisory program for middle school, built around the Essential Experiences curriculumMillennium School and Millennium Forum"Talking in Circles: An In-School, Relationship-Centered Approach," a case study on Millennium Forum in Social and Emotional Learning in Early Adolescence: Tapping Into the Power of Relationships and Mentoring, MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership, 2019: pp. 24-28.A.

Raising a teenager can be a lot of work and there's hard science behind why adolescence is so challenging. Laurence Steinberg authored the book "Age of Opportunity: Lessons from the New Science of Adolescence." In this episode, he talks about how brain development doesn't stop at age three. There's another period where the brain is malleable: during adolescence. These years are key in determining individuals' life outcomes. How should we change the way we parent, educate, and understand young people?

Ever wonder why everything that happened during your teens has stayed with you for so long? And, for many, continues to control you to this day?In today's episode of Good Life Project, I'm sharing a fascinating conversation with acclaimed professor and adolescence expert, Laurence Steinberg, Ph.D..We're talking about what new brain research is showing us about the "care and feeding" of the adolescent brain, and what parents, schools and society can do about it.We'll also explore why, years after adolescence, it seems to keep such a tight grip on how we interact with the world.Adolescence, also know as “the oy vey years” is not a time most families look forward to. But what if almost everything you thought about those angsty teen years was wrong? What if the rules we laid down as parents, teachers and people who supposedly “knew better” were actually doing more harm than good?Well, it turns out, that just might be the case. New research on the adolescent brain seems be turning everything we thought we knew about the care and handling of young adults on its head. And, it’s also exposing something else. Something that juuuuust might terrify a parent or two.Adolescence is now twice as long as it used to be, starting at around 10, and continuing to almost 25 years old. Which is really important, because until it ends, you’re impulsive hedonistic desires are on overdrive, but the part of your brain that stops you from doing stupid things hasn’t really developed enough to keep you safe.So, how do you handle that? How do you create a world that lets kids take the risks needed to rock adulthood without destroying their futures, and maybe themselves along the way?And how do you take a part of life most families look at as a battle to be survived and turn it into something to be exalted and enjoyed?That’s what we’re talking about on today’s episode with my guest, Laurence Steinberg, Ph.D. He’s one of the world's leading experts on adolescence, a Distinguished Professor of Psychology at Temple University, the author of more than 350 articles and essays on development during the teenage years, and the author or editor of 17 books including his new one, The Age of Opportunity: Lessons from the New Science of Adolescence. In other words, when it comes to angsty adolescents, Larry knows his stuff.

It seems that every generation seeks to find fault with the adolescent generation coming of age.  Just as the parents of boomers eschewed the 60’s, so today, we boomers are all too quick to criticize and disparage the state of Millennials.Perhaps if we better understood adolescence, the process that the brain goes through as it remodels itself, we’d better understand the young adults that are coming of age.And while we are quick to judge  what seems to be the extension of adolescence today, new research shows that the extension of adolescence is actually the extension of the plasticity of the brain which allow it to continue to be enhanced and invigorated.Understand all of this has been the work of Dr. Laurence Steinberg in Age of Opportunity: Lessons from the New Science of Adolescence.My conversation with Dr. Laurence Steinberg:
