We believe that "learning disabilities" do not exist, but rather each person learns differently
EmpowerMind® Philosophy
EmpowerMind® has proven that "learning disabilities" do not exist, but rather each person is unique and learns differently. Once an individual, whether a 10 year old child, a 90 year old adult, failing student, honor student or anyone in between, learns how she learns, then learning becomes easy. We encourage stepping outside the "rule" box. We help individuals experience their own greatness by showing them how to work with their strengths versus focusing on their perceived weaknesses. We prove to them that they are geniuses. It's a process of self-discovery by taste testing a wonderful buffet of techniques and individually choosing which ones work best for them. We use a holistic approach, which helps students look at all their unique qualities, that make them the geniuses they are. They experience which senses they learn from best, if they're a right brain or left brain learner, what time of day do they learn best, how to relax and get into "the zone," and much more. The process is exciting, thought provoking, confidence boosting and fun.
Our mission: EmpowerMind is an educational company teaching preteens, teens and adults, with unconditional love, how to process information and develop a personalized learning system by focusing and then capitalizing on their strengths.

EmpowerMind® believes that from the time we are born we are given a unique set of talents and gifts to share with the world. These talents and gifts are our unique genius. Our God given right is to realize these talents and have them nurtured in order for each of us to reach our potential. Once we enter a standard school system, these gifts are often ignored, ridiculed, lessened or simply not encouraged. But rather, we are taught to learn and achieve through a VERY limited process. If we don't fit into society's limited model then we are a "problem learner," " problem student," "Learning Disabled," "stupid," or we have to try too hard and put in too much wasted time to achieve within the system. This extends into Corporate America where we are again encouraged to stay in the lines, follow the rules etc. versus finding new paths, new ideas and accomplishing goals in the way that helps us as individuals to achieve our best.
EmpowerMind®'s facilitators Kimberly Kassner and her husband Peter Earley take full responsibility for a student's outcome with each technique they are taught. If an individual does not grasp something in particular it is not their fault, but the fault of the facilitators. The belief is that it is the facilitators' responsibility to reach each individual. If they can't do that, they have failed NOT the student. This is why EmpowerMind® guarantees that a person's ability to learn will improve dramatically in the first two hours AND the person will have fun in the process. If not, they can leave within the two hours and receive a full refund. Nobody has left the workshop under this guarantee in the 13-year history of EmpowerMind®.
EmpowerMind® workshops are built on a conceptual lattice. This means that each section builds on the last. It's set up this way so success builds upon success. People are using associations throughout the workshop based on the past experience in their lives. The workshop is modeled the same way working with the past successes in the previous section of the workshop. Students work through their strengths NOT their areas of weakness. This is what propels them to greater heights of personal success and leaves them with a sense of personal power. They leave the workshop with the confidence to tackle anything they choose.
EmpowerMind® is not just about learning for school; it takes the student much further into the total learning capability of the individual. This means they are learning how to be more effective in their lives overall. Because once they learn how they learn best, they communicate efficiently, retain information more effectively than before, they prioritize better and deal with stress more proficiently. Success breeds success.
Consulting sessions and tutor sessions help fine tune what the students have learned in the workshop. Kimberly refers to herself as a "life coach" for adults and a tutor/mentor/friend to the children and teens she facilitates. She helps individualize specific needs in the person's life. This includes problem solving, prioritizing and self-esteem boosting.
EmpowerMind® believes you're a genius and they can prove it!
EmpowerMind®, Kimberly Kassner's revolutionary learning to learn workshop, has made learning exciting, stimulating and easy for 1000's of students in hundreds of schools over the past 10 years. Her successes include many students who had been pigeon holed or written off as "juvenile delinquents", "A.D.D. problem students", "learning disabled" or "hopeless". In addition, she's taught honor roll students how to cut their study time in half and adults to relieve stress, prioritize effectively, problem solve and accomplish more in less time.
Kimberly Kassner's passion for learning, compassion for disenfranchised students and excitement about teaching is driven by her personal history of experiencing "learning differences." Whether in person, on television, radio or through her books and tape programs, Kimberly's enthusiastic, energetic and humorous style, engages and captivates audiences. Her goal is to, "metaphorically hold up a mirror to help my students see the brilliant geniuses that they truly are."
