Education ⋅ Diversity (Contact us for special discounted rates for education organizations and associations)
With 40% of today's jobs about to be automated (source: PwC) and the disproportionate rising cost of higher education, we cannot fail to equip all K-12 teachers and students with the most critical skills of tomorrow—cultural competence, growth mindset, critical thinking, lifelong learning, socially responsible global citizenship, and more. Ravi shows education leaders how to pivot to teach students to pivot in an age where we will be less defined by what we do than by who we are. Ultimately, he inspires everyone to see that student potential goes far beyond "college and career ready." Without adopting a long-game vision, school is underserving students.
Ravi empowers educators to:
• Use existing technology and resources to overcome implicit bias, foster cultural competence, and achieve equity
• Create experiential/project-based learning opportunities using both arts and sciences
• Incorporate a growth mindset in teachers and students by prioritizing formative over summative assessment
• Pivot student privilege into a leadership mindset that fosters social justice and equity
• Identify jobs of the future that will help guide the next generation toward prosperity

How to PIVOT Your Passion into Your Profession
Youth (Contact us to find how you can get this presentation for free)
In this presentation for youth, Ravi encourages them to pursue their passions regardless of preconceptions or obstacles. However, following one's dream is not about rebelling against one’s parents, school, or traditional values. It is about collaborating with these influences while broadening horizons and being “the change you wish to see in the world” (Gandhi).
A child’s own talents, strengths, and interests often differ from their “predetermined” path. As they become teenagers, those same interests can become aspirations that are then in conflict with traditional expectations of any given family, society, or culture. Ironically, it is this very difference that is most likely to give a young adult an “edge,” enabling him or her to achieve greater success. Moreover, in the age of automation and globalization, the perceived security of a traditional career is no longer the reality.
