Evolving with Gratitude
Nurture Relationships, Improve Well-Being, and Activate Learning

Research proves that by intentionally practicing gratitude, we can dramatically improve our disposition, bringing us more joy and better health. It also makes a huge difference in relationships and leads to more successful learning experiences. In this keynote, Lainie Rowell shares how educators can use small gratitude practices to make a big difference with kids, peers, and the world. We can use gratitude to shift from barely surviving to actually thriving and flourishing.

Evolving with Learning Communities That Are Grateful, Engaged, And Empowered

Get back to the joy of teaching, learning, and leading with innovative, research-backed practices to create safe, equitable, empowering learning experiences for all learners. Drawing on recent discoveries in neuroscience as well as classroom experience, this talk focuses on cultivating positive culture in a community of inquiry.

Evolving Learner
Shifting to Continuous Improvement with Kids, Peers, and the World

We can evolve as learners and shift from an overreliance on "spray-and-pray" workshops to personalized professional learning. Examine ideas and strategies that empower us, as educators, to learn from kids, peers, and the world in a cycle of continuous improvement. Leave ready to implement effective professional learning models and focus on inquiry-based learning to increase educator effectiveness and results for all learners.

Participants will:

How do I book Lainie Rowell for my event?

Booking Lainie Rowell with Premiere Speakers Bureau is a streamlined 4-step process:
  • Availability Check: Contact us with your event date and budget to verify if your desired speaker is available.
  • Hold Date: We place a temporary "hold" on the speaker's calendar while you finalize internal approval.
  • Contracting: We issue a contract outlining the fee, cancellation policy, and event expectations.
  • Logistics: Once signed, our event management team handles all travel booking, itinerary, and AV requirements.

Why should I partner with Premiere Speakers Bureau rather than contacting speakers directly?

Partnering with Premiere Speakers Bureau provides a comprehensive safety net for your event that direct booking cannot match. You get the same speaker for the same price, but with a dedicated team with over 30 years of event experience handling contracts, logistics, and are prepared for any emergency. We know what it takes to run an excellent event.

What makes Premiere Speakers Bureau unique compared to other agencies?

Premiere Speakers Bureau distinguishes itself by having over 30 years of experience while partnering with more than 35,000 events. PSB has also built a streamlined, fully online process that makes booking a speaker, handling travel and payments extremely easy for anyone looking to plan a speaker led event.

How does Premiere Speakers Bureau's 'Zero Cost Service' model work?

Premiere Speakers Bureau operates on a 'Zero Cost Service' model for event planners. Our services—including research, booking, and logistics—are always free to the client. The speaker covers our commission from their standard honorarium as payment for our role in marketing and managing their engagements.

How are speaker fees structured, and what is typically included?

A speaker's fee typically covers the keynote presentation, a pre-event planning call, and standard customization. Travel expenses are usually billed separately.

What are the standard policies for speaker travel and expenses?

Travel expenses are negotiated during contracting. We generally recommend a flat travel fee for simplicity, though we also offer line-by-line invoicing when preferred. PSB ensures these expenses adhere to professional standards, and our Event Portal allows for easy tracking and invoicing.
