Bobbi DePorter is president of Quantum Learning Network producing SuperCamp summer enrichment programs now with 75,000 graduates and programs in 19 countries; and Quantum Learning Education, with programs for teachers, administrators, students, and parents. QL has trained over 100,000 teachers and through these programs and the 8 Keys of Excellence movement, has impacted more than twenty million students over the last 30+ years. It all began when Bobbi studied with the renowned Bulgarian researcher Dr. Georgi Lozanov and implemented his methods into a humanistic business program which she co-founded called the Burklyn Business School. Students experienced learning as joyful and meaningful–not as they had experienced learning previously–and they wanted a similar experience for their children. This led to SuperCamp, teaching unique learning and life skills to teenagers in a fun, dynamic way. Along with Stedman Graham, Bobbi is the co-founder of CAYS Community Alliance for Youth Success. She is the author of over a dozen books including recently released Excellence in Teaching and Learning: The Quantum Learning System. Bobbi is the recipient of the San Diego Women of Influence Lifetime Legacy award, the Global Presence Humanitarian Award from Parenting 2.0; and was on Fast Company Magazines Fast 50 list of leading creative thinkers. What you’ll learn about in this episode: How ordinary men and women can become extraordinary business owners How to teach children and young adults how to learn The importance of providing children with a good education when it comes to personal finances. How to encourage children to find their own voice in the world and feel confident and good about themselves How to engage students, connect with them, and provide them with a safe and nurturing environment that encourages them to participate The importance of reminding students to practice the skills they have learned and apply it to all aspects of their life How students will feel safe to participate in the world once they know who they are, where they stand, their principles and values, and what’s truly important to them. Students need to develop a strong core and allow this core to guide them How to find true fulfillment and passion comes from serving others with one’s work The importance of focusing on people and the dollars to make money Ways to contact Bobbi: Website: www.SuperCamp.com

For teachers, creating a dynamic environment of joy with students can make all the difference. This is what Bobbi DePorter of the Quantum Learning Network realized after years of research. Teachers graduate university with a set of expectations and goals for the learning environment they'll create. Yet when they get into the classroom, the real world is often different. It's an academic tragedy. For example, the students just don't engage and participate as visualized. Now, through the Quantum Learning Network, teachers are trained in how to create that positive environment of joy so students can love learning. Bobbi DePorter is president of Quantum Learning Network, which produces SuperCamp summer enrichment programs now with 78,000 graduates and programs in 19 countries; and Quantum Learning Education (QL), with programs for teachers, administrators, students and parents. QL has trained over 100,000 teachers and through these programs and the 8 Keys of Excellence movement, has impacted more than twenty million students over the last 30+ years for their children. Their programs teach unique learning and life skills to teenagers in a fun, dynamic way. Get the newest Conscious PIVOT Podcast episodes delivered directly to you - subscribe here.
