Choice is such power, and it starts with Noticing - or as DMR says, awareness.

Once we have awareness, we have a choice. If we could have that awareness all the time, we could change our routines, change our reactions, and change our entire life. -dMR

We’re so excited to announce 📣 On March 7, 2026, Sonoma Bates and Dr. Chuck Fisher will present our TEDxSonomaCounty talk, "The Courage to Love," at Jackson Theater, Sonoma Country Day School in Santa Rosa. This talk distills our work at Dovetail (dovetaillearning.org), on the We Are Resilient™ approach into how loving courageously is an antidote to our Protective Patterns that limit us emotionally.
Sonoma, a Gen Z —Zoomer—, board member at Dovetail and communications professional, joins Chuck—a Boomer—for a 50-year perspective on what it means to love well.
Please consider joining us in-person, virtually, or by watching a YouTube of our talk following its release. Discount ticket sales end soon!

Reframing PBIS Through Resilient Mindsets - Wednesday 3:30pm Pacific Time! Join us! As schools grapple with behavior challenges and workplace burnout, we offer this webinar to reframe "Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful" into a more community-based approach. By leaning into the resilient mindsets of curiosity, choice, and courage, we explore how this reframing can lead to higher engagement and subsequently fewer behavior issues. We'll also touch on some tools to help the adults on a school campus come back into balance when they are thrown off by student behavior. Join Coach Emily Selim for this FREE 30 minute webinar. Can't make it? Register anyway and we'll send you the recording. https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_1lZZ1w6uTuGkhblhvB_sJg #/registration
