Book Dr. Goins for Your Next Assembly!

For K-12 educational options

Dr. Goins is a passionate speaker who equips the next generation to become socially and emotionally strong individuals and socially motivated academic achievers. Through engaging talks and practical strategies, she helps students grow into their best selves and work toward their full potential.

Assembly Options:

  • In this interactive workshop, students learn how their brain helps them think and their heart helps them feel. When children become aware of both, they can make Heartwise choices, understand their needs, and communicate their feelings with courage and confidence.

  • Students who make wise everyday decisions can transform the culture of any school or classroom—but they must be explicitly taught how. Using a cognitive, relationship-based framework, Dr. Goins guides children through the Heartwise decision-making process so they can think clearly, feel deeply, and act wisely. This approach helps students develop a healthy mindset, recognize themselves as strong individuals within a team, and turn everyday challenges into capable choices that open doors for growth and opportunity.

  • Every person has the power to influence those around them. In this interactive workshop, students explore how their presence, choices, and actions impact others—whether they realize it or not. Using principles from social motivation theory, we discuss how being a role model isn’t just something adults ask of you; it’s a lifelong responsibility, because someone is always watching and learning from you.

    This is a dreaming and reflection workshop: students consider the kind of influence they want to have, the legacy they want to leave, and how they can use their social influence for good every day.
