School Speaker Alliance of Los Angeles (SSALA) Presents:
Read MoreTHE SCIENCE OF MOTIVATING YOUNG PEOPLE with acclaimed developmental psychologist Dr. David Yeager
SEPTEMBER 22, 2026
7:00-8:30 PM / WEBINAR
Marci Reichert, Director of Student Wellness at Harvard-Westlake School, will moderate this event.
Imagine a world in which Gen Xers, millennials, and boomers interact with young people in ways that leave them feeling inspired, enthusiastic, and ready to contribute. That world may be closer than you think. Using cutting-edge research, best-selling author and psychologist David Yeager explains how to stop fearing young people’s brains and hormones and how to start harnessing them.
Neuroscientists have discovered that around age ten, puberty spurs the brain to crave socially rewarding experiences, such as pride, admiration, and respect, and to become highly averse to social pain, such as humiliation or shame. As a result, young people are subtly reading between the lines of everything we say, trying to interpret the hidden implications of our words to find out if we are disrespecting or honoring them. Surprisingly, this sensitivity to status and respect continues into the mid-twenties. David’s research helps adults develop an ear for ways to respect young people and avoid frustrating patterns of miscommunication and conflict.
