Jenifer Fox is an international, award-winning author and
speaker and a recognized leader of the Strengths
Movement within our educational system, for parents
and organizations that serve youth.
She draws on 25 years experience in virtually every kind of precollegiate school setting
to challenge the current educational system. Her message is focused on the need to
develop children’s strengths in an effort to help them find success and build meaningful
futures. Jenifer sees this as not only a means to help the individual, but as an important
step to secure our nation’s economic status as well as our democracy.
In her critically acclaimed book, Your Child’s Strengths, Discover Them, Develop
Them, Use Them, with a foreword by Marcus Buckingham, Fox gives practical advice
to parents and teachers. She lays out a plan for parents, schools and businesses (the endusers
of our educational system) to join together to transform our communities into
learning environments where all children are focused on discovering their strengths and
ultimately finding success.
Widely recognized as the foremost expert on strengths development in educational
settings, Fox is a visionary, a storyteller and a giver of practical advice. Her expertise in
designing curricula (The Affinities Program) and training programs (StrengthsNow!) gives
teachers, employers, coaches, and counselors a step-by-step process for implementing a
strengths focus both within their organizations, and with the youth they serve.
Jenifer has worked with parents, teachers, and healthcare providers as well as
businesses and corporations to develop strengths-based programming. She also counsels
businesses on ways to deploy philanthropic resources to support education and, in doing
so, to improve their bottom lines.
In addition to speaking to parents and teachers about children, Jenifer is an innovative
CEO with an expertise in turnaround leadership. This expertise allows her to speak with
authority on social entrepreneurship, nonprofit leadership, strategic philanthropy and the
impact educational trends will have on our society.
In addition to her many speaking engagements, Jenifer Fox has made dozens of live and
taped appearances on television. She has been interviewed on radio and pod-casts, and
featured in magazines and newspapers.
Fox holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and
two Masters Degrees: an MA from Middlebury College’s Bread Loaf School of English
and an M.Ed. from Harvard University. She resides in the New York Metropolitan area. |
