Kimberly Kassner, author of the book You’re a Genius-and I Can Prove It!  and the DVD/CD series EmpowerMind for Teens graduated cum laude in psychology and communications despite her learning differences. 

She began her career in sales with Pepsi-cola, was promoted 4 times in 7 years and was one of the top ten performers in the country in her last four positions. She was ranked number 8 in the country and number one in her region two consecutive years. She worked less than 35 hours a week, while co-teaching and teaching the 14 week Dale Carnegie course, "How to Win Friends and Influence People."  

With the business success behind her, she decided at 29 years old (in 1991) to make a difference in families and help children and adults master their ability to learn; thus, the two day workshop EmpowerMind was born.  With her humorous style and contagious enthusiasm she has had unparalleled success with hundreds of thousands of students from all walks of life. The school principal commented in her first pilot study’s report,

"It proved test grades, attitudes and report card grades can improve in even the most hopeless cases... Results exceeded everyone's expectations (teacher's students and even mine). It was a success in every category."  --Nando Llacuna San Rafael High School

Kimberly has been featured on over 100 radio and TV shows sharing her successes with straight A students, drop-outs/gang kids and everyone in between.  She wants to continue giving families a sense of excitement about raising their children, tackling the homework/school issues and prove to them that their children are geniuses!
