Founder of Be On Purpose, LLC, Emma is a mentor who specializes in helping teens and young adults craft who they want to be and how they will impact the world. She began this path a decade ago working in admissions at a University. Before too long she moved on to facilitating college and career workshops at hundreds of high schools all over the Metro of Atlanta for tens of thousands of students. Now she works directly with families. With her program Life Quest®, she guides students through self-discovery, career exploration, and vision creation. This leads young people to a future that allows them to live thriving and fulfilling lives.
Upon working directly with teachers in high schools, Emma saw first hand how different school was from what she remembered. She began to ponder what school could be like for young people with a simple shift in the goal of education. Her book, "What's the Point of School: Ed Transformation, A Matter of Life and Death" takes a look at the current goal of the American education system, how it came to be, and what effects it has on our children's wellbeing and future. The book also suggests how a shift in the purpose and goal of education can have a positive domino effect for the wellbeing of students, society, the economy, and the future of work. She has formulated the Five Happy Healthy Elements that has the potential to make this transformation come to fruition. You can learn more about the Five Happy Healthy Elements by reading her book, and you can learn more about her projects by exploring this website.
