The FLIP Leadership Approach

Leveraging the foundational principles of leadership, the FLIP framework represents a subtle shift in perspective and approach.  When Parents & Educators serve as visionary leaders, they create a culture of empowerment where kids of all ages are inspired to apply their newly acquired skills over time and with greater sophistication.

Internally motivated kids experience more meaningful & enjoyable engagements at home, at school and in their community while developing the attributes & mastering the skills that are known to be essential to 21st Century success. When this happens, parents, educators, and kids all benefit.

This is the Leadership Edge.

Cultural Challenges

In today's high pressure, high stakes culture, childhood for many has become a relentless quest to build a competitive resume for elite college admissions - from Baby Einstein to  SAT prep. It starts with pre-school admissions, and by high school, the pressure is crushing. 

Well being hangs in the balance for students (and their parents) in every college prep community, while in our rapidly changing, global economy, new grads are struggling at start up in record numbers. 

Yet despite the cultural crush, some kids fare well. Internally motivated and self assured, they link success with meaning & joy as they take the lead in their lives. Research reveals what and why. FLIP reveals how.
