“Point of Power” Virtual Workshop

The “Point of Power”, also known as the OARBED / Above the Line mindset (associated with Robert Kiyosaki, Bobbi DePorter and Marshall Thurber), is a transformative concept that revolves around taking ownership of our actions, decisions, and, ultimately, our lives.

To delve deeper into how the Point of Power can transform our approach to challenges, relationships, and personal development, we are thrilled to invite you to an exclusive Virtual Workshop.

Why it’s worth attending!

During this interactive session, we’ll dive deeper into the transformative concept of the “Point of Power” and how adopting the OARBED / Above the Line mindset can significantly enhance our personal growth, leadership skills, parenting strategies, and the overall well-being of our families and school community.

What to Expect:

• Engaging Discussions: You’ll have the chance to explore practical strategies for applying the “Point of Power” principles in our daily lives, both personally and as parents. We will even give examples of how it’s impacted how Pear Tree School functions behind the scenes!
• Real-life Application: Discover how these principles have positively influenced Pear Tree School’s culture and operations.
• Interactive Q&A: Have your questions answered and share your insights with fellow attendees.
