EDGE: Turning Adversity into Advantage
Laura Huang, PhD, Professor, Harvard Business School
Thursday, April 21, 2021, 6:00pm – 7:00pm PDT, Live Event (Webinar)
Laura Huang, PhD, MBA, author of EDGE: Turning Adversity into Advantage, shares her revolutionary research on how we can improve our change of being successful in life.
How can we, as parents, help our child or teen find their "edge," the unique set of characteristics that will help them turn adversity into advantage?
We are all subject to others’ biases—about race, gender, age, ability, sexual orientation, and more—that can work for us or against us. The good news, Huang argues, is that we can flip biases and re-frame them to work in our favor.
Dr. Laura Huang is a professor at the Harvard Business School, a former assistant professor at Wharton, and the international bestselling author of EDGE: Turning Adversity into Advantage. Huang is also co-founder of Project EMplify, a nonprofit that teaches soft (foundational) skills to underprivileged communities.

Jaymie Byron, MFT, Director, Community Outreach & Education, Kara
Tuesday, November 30, 2021, 5:30pm – 6:30pm PT, Online Event (Webinar)
You may have heard, “children grieve differently than adults.” What does that mean, how can you tell, and how do you best support a child or teen who is grieving?
Jaymie Byron, MFT, will share what grief and mourning can look like for children of all ages. Kids react differently to loss, based on where they are developmentally. Jaymie will also provide practical ways to support a child through the grief process.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- How and why children of different ages perceive grief based on their cognitive abilities
- How children from the age of 4 through teens react to grief
- How to support your children as they move through the grief process
Before you can talk to your children about grief, it’s important to understand your own feelings.

Responderemos preguntas tales como, ¿A que edad le hablo a mi hijo sobre el sexo? ¿Qué hago si encuentro a mi hijo masturbándose? Venga, acompáñenos a aprender juntos sobre el tema de la sexualidad de nuestros hijos.
