Lunch & Learn: Power of Positive Self-Talk and Mindset Skills for Children

On Thursday, September 28th, 11:30 AM at the Madison Whole Foods, join Gretchen Burman, the founder of Character U, as she presents “Power of Positive Self-Talk and Mindset Skills” for children. Madison Whole Foods will provide a complimentary lunch to attendees and the workshop will discuss the following:

• Communication tools called “The 12 Cs” (character concepts), Green Glory and Red Rant (positive and negative self-talk and mindset)
• Science of growth mindset and fixed mindset
• Research supporting the importance of social and emotional learning on academics and beyond
• Examples of how to use Green Glory, Red Rant and “The 12 Cs” during real life scenarios

Gretchen Burman is the founder of Character U - teaching elementary aged children the power of positive self-talk and mindset so they have the tools to thrive in today’s world. Her book, The Adventures of Ooga and Zeeta, uses stories to bring twelve character concepts that she created called, The 12 Cs, to life. There are two relatable and tangible characters in her book, positive Green Glory and negative Red Rant that help children understand the power of their thoughts and how they can change from negative to positive, be self-compassionate and mentally strong.

She created these communication tools as her parenting checklist to ensure she proactively and reactively taught her children the social and emotional skills so they would know how to successfully navigate life’s ups and downs. After years of witnessing the positive effects of having this common language with her own family and extensive research, she now shares her passion and learnings with other children through her book and school assemblies. She is a mother of two fantastic daughters and wife to an incredibly supportive husband.
