Grace Lanni Quick Facts
Grace Lanni is a hi-tech entrepreneur in Austin, Texas raising her children as a single mom. Be Inspired By Your Teen is an invitation to parents and teachers of teenagers to engage in connected conversations and create a total wellness environment which will shape their future.
Ms. Lanni wasn’t exactly planning to become an author. She was searching for resources and tools to support the changing teenage environment in her home, and was sorely disappointed by the online and written materials available. “People are reluctant to voice their teen parenting challenges. I learned to maintain my sanity as a single mom I had to reach out to my community, whether local or online, to support me in whatever problem I was facing. When my children were young, there were countless useful resources available. The challenges of raising and mentoring teenagers are much more complex, yet there is less published material. My wish is that more and more parents become vocal to insure they and their teenagers are as happy and healthy as possible.”
“Executives can also be parents”, Ms. Lanni states, “in the world of web2.0, online communities such as secondlife.com and facebook.com simply reflect the teenage conversations in our homes. Parents must engage in life-defining conversations with their teens if they intend to be their primary role models. I’ve invested my personal time in Be Inspired to ask parents and teachers to join me in developing the resources to lead these necessary talks.”
