Every child has a story worth telling.

Join us live for a Summit Session with Bridget Gengler, educator, author, and passionate advocate for helping children discover the confidence and courage to share their unique voices.

With more than 30 years of experience as an elementary educator, Bridget has dedicated her career to nurturing children’s confidence, creativity, and emotional growth. Her experience inspired her children’s book, You Have a Story to Tell!, which encourages young people to embrace who they are, share their experiences, and recognize the value of their own voices.

In this inspiring session, Bridget will explore:

• Why storytelling is a powerful tool for building confidence and self-expression
• The inspiration behind You Have a Story to Tell!
• How encouragement can help children take risks, face fears, and embrace their individuality
• Practical ways nannies, parents, and educators can support children in sharing their stories
• The role of storytelling in fostering empathy, resilience, identity, and emotional growth

Bridget believes every child has a story worth telling and that creating space for children to find and use their voices can empower them to grow into confident, compassionate individuals.

Join us for a meaningful conversation about storytelling, courage, and the lasting impact of helping children discover the power of their own voice.
