Spoke on “Distress or De-Stress? How to Stay Focused in Challenging Times.” Terrific, receptive group. Well run by Kristy Rogers– dynamic and most resourceful. During the talk I gave a 45 second “infomercial” on the book: “I’m seeking corporate and philanthropic sponsors to buy the book in volume at substantial discount, and give them away to under-served students, their teachers and parents.” I got some excellent leads. Stay tuned! If you don’t know about this group, find out by contacting Kristy directly: kristyrogers@eWomenNetwork.com.

All 80 students of the Young Musician’s Program at the University of California Berkeley, received THE WORKBOOK FOR TEST SUCCESS as a gift from a very generous YMP Board member. YMP is an exceptional program for underserved youth, holding yearly auditions for musically talented and musically promising students . Though there is a strong focus on music, YMP is a college-track program– with 100% success rate of its students getting into schools — including Juilliard and Oberlin– many at full scholarship. The dynamic director of the program, Daisy Newman, invited Dr. Bernstein to work with the students on issues related to performance (anxiety; dynamism; preparation; academic issues), and the results have been palpable. The students were thrilled to receive the book. Said one, “This book is so great. It’s just like having Dr. B in my house!” We are seeking sponsorships like the one at YMP– to get the book into the hands of the students, parents and teachers who can really use it. If you are a board member or a philanthropist, please contact us to discuss your group and how we can work together.
