About Ian
What makes people brilliant? Is brilliance pre-determined or does brilliance result from your learning environment? And how can people capitalize on their brilliance to be successful, happy, and connected to one another? These are questions Ian has explored by making a study of his students as the CEO of Streamline Learning over the past decade. Ian's experiences informed his insights in his book School Sucks, Your Child Doesn't, in which he makes the case that the sociocultural forces of school are interfering with the development of children's brilliance. Meanwhile, Ian has used his struggles with and triumph over Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) to understand the intimate relationship between our immune system, our environment, and our ability to learn. Synthesizing these lessons, Ian has developed the Native Brilliance assessment and crafted a protocol to identify and unlock your child brilliance.
Brilliance Buddies Coaching: Learning to Learn at your Pace
One major problem with learning in school is the overriding assumption that school is the only way to learn. So when students struggle in school, whether academically or socially, they often assume there's something wrong with them. This reality causes students to develop an unhealthy relationship with school and their own brilliance: instead of considering whether school is good enough for them, they worry about whether they're good enough in the eyes of school. Brilliance Buddies coaching opens students eyes to the idea that school is a form of technology that's supposed to help them learn. By understanding the destructive impact of school on a public health and psychological level, students can move away from cycles of self-judgment begin a journey of self-discovery that turns smart role players in school to brilliant star players in life.
