Will Your Kids Follow the Crowd?
OR ... Become Leaders & Influencers
Who Change the World?
February 22-26, 2021
Hey Moms, are you having one of those moments, wondering...
What if I hop off the conveyor belt of public education & my kids get messed up?
I'm wading through a minefield, how do I make the best choice?
I want my kids prepared for real life, but no idea where to start.
How in the world do I "get" my kids to love learning for life?
All my kids do is follow. When will they think for themselves and make wise decisions?
I love homeschool freedom but I'm afraid to do something different than everyone else?
How do I raise my sons to be compassionate, responsible Godly men?
I can barely get my curriculum finished, much less think about teaching real life skills.
I catch myself with a bad attitude & realize I'm where my kids picked up their bad attitude.
My kids can solve problems in their school work, but can't solve problems in real life.
Let's Talk About that Conveyor Belt of Public Education!
How can you give your kids a Better Education?
What if you could gain the confidence to homeschool differently,
following a proven method of real education?
Your answer would be "OF COURSE"!
If you have just 2 minutes, I'll show you the next best thing . . .
A private invitation to the Life Skills Leadership Summit for FREE.
Why am I doing this?
We homeschooled for 10 years. Mid-way through our homeschooling years, I discovered Leadership Education. I used trial and error to implement a better way to homeschool.
At the time, I wish I had veteran homeschoolers who would walk me through the process. Showing me the four steps to raising my kids to lead and influence for Jesus. To give me confidence to hop off that conveyor belt and teach real life skills. Life skills that would benefit my kids for life.
I was in the trenches, blindly planning each year. I don't want you to try leadership education without proven help. So, I asked some of my homeschooling friends to share their knowledge and encouragement with you.
With my expert speakers, YOU can skip all that "trial & error" stuff.
But does Leadership Education really work?
All three of my kids are grown and on their own. In fact, two of them are married with their own families. I'm grateful to God they are all walking with God, making wise decisions and continuing in their learning for life.
Not only my kids, but other homeschool graduates who hopped off the conveyor belt are successful in their family and their work.
ANNOUNCING:
Life Skills Leadership Summit
February 22 - 26, 2021
There is so much more to education than just learning facts. In preparing our children for the real world, they need real life skills.
As a speaker I am excited to listen and learn from all the other amazing sessions that will help me to grow as a parent and help my children become confident well-equipped leaders.
- Meaghan Jackson of Joyful Mud Puddle
What makes the
Life Skills Leadership Summit different?
Great Question . . .
Especially in light of so many
new online events.
Other online events try to cover all areas of homeschooling or parenting. You have so many topics that you can't decide what to watch and become overwhelmed.
With the Life Skills Leadership Summit, we are focusing on 2 main aspects of homeschooling and parenting:
Raising Leaders & Influencers (Track 1)
Life Skills for Real Life (Track 2)
Within each of these areas, we have sub-categories, but everything ties back to raising Godly leaders, who will influence for Jesus Christ.
As you might guess, he Summit has sessions for Moms & Dads, but we also have sessions for Teens and a special live session for kids 6th grade and up. (Keep reading)
We want to help your entire family become better leaders and influencers.
Another Important Reason ...
Life Skills Leadership Summit
is Different
The Summit is partnering with Unbound, Bryan College Station. Kerry will donate 5% of her Summit profits to Unbound.
In addition to Kerry's donation, some speakers will donate 5% of their commissions. Kerry will double each speaker's donation, by matching their donation.
What is Unbound?
Unbound is a network of anti-human trafficking nonprofit organizations started out of Waco, Texas in 2012 and have since spread across the state, nation and world. Unbound supports survivors and resources our communities to fight human trafficking. We do this through three main ways:
1.Prevention and Awareness
2.Professional Training
3.Survivor Advocacy.
We are hope-driven, service-oriented and excellence-focused in our efforts to end human trafficking. Our vision is to see our community FREE from human trafficking!
STAY TUNED: We will share Unbound stories throught the Summit Week.
Unbound Wants to Help YOU & Your Teens!
Unbound's trained staff will offer 2 FREE, one-time workshops for parents and teens, in regards to safety in 2021 and internet safety. When you get your FREE Basic Pass, you will receive emails about these exclusive events.
Keeping Students Safe - Parents and Caregivers
Keeping Students Safe - Students (6th grade & up)
The Summit is all about life skills. Teaching our kids safety skills is definitely a real life skill your kids need.
If I were raising children in the 21st century, Unbound's workshop alone, would be worth getting your LSLS Basic Pass.
Besides Unbound Staff, who else will
Present Sessions at the Summit?
With a combined total of 311 years of homeschooling & parenting experience, our Expert Speakers are real homeschoolers and parents who are (or have been) in the trenches. They are here to help you avoid mistakes so youcan prepare your kids for the real world with purpose, intention and confidence.
And to make the Summit more practical, we have a mix of prepared sessions, interviews (I ask questions you want answered) and live sessions each day.
That sounds expensive. Is it affordable?
Can you say, "FREE"? Keep reading to find out how you grab your free ticket today.

Annette Breedlove, of In All You Do, will help you AND your teen get organized and become more proficient with Office Tools.

But, my kids won't be a CEO or President?
Why should this matter to me?
Great Question. I get it. Even one of my kids and other speakers' kids have asked the same question.
Both John Maxwell and James Hunter, gurus on leadership, say leadership IS influence. If you influence anyone, you are leading.
When your 12-year old daughter gets her little brother to help her do the dishes, she is leading. She is influencing.
When you coach your child's baseball team and get your players to be have good sportsmanship, you are leading. You are influencing.
You don't have to be the Mayor of the city or the Vice-President of a company to be a leader. All you have to do is influence, to be a leader.
Leadership education also allows your kids to gain freedom, to think without following whatever they are told. More on this in our workshops.
For these reasons, I believe 98% of our kids will lead in the future. They will grow up to be husbands and wives, moms and dads, coaches, teachers mentors, all of whom lead and influence.
The questions really are:
"Will your kids be ready?
Have you prepared your kids to think &
not follow the media or crowd?"
The Life Skills Leadership Summit will give you & your teens tools to become positive influencers for Jesus Christ. Some of these tools are simple tips & tricks you can use in your everyday homeschool...growing your child in leadership from a young age.
Other tools are centered around life skills, such as Communication, Relationships, Team Building and more. All are necessary to be a good leader, who influences & changes the world around them.
As a homeschool mom of elementary-aged kiddos and a toddler, I admit that I’m full of nerves and fear as I think about the kids growing older and entering new seasons of life. I’m scared that I won’t be equipped enough to steer them in the right directions or be everything they’ll need me to be as they grow as a person and through homeschool.
After reviewing the workshops offered in the Life Skills Leadership Summit, you can’t imagine how excited I am to jump into many of the life skills and leadership workshops! I already feel a huge weight lifted from my heart and my stomach doesn’t knot up like it did when I think about the future. These workshops are truly a lifesaver!
And by being a part of the group of speakers and sponsors who made this possible, I personally know now from experience that Kerry is a Godsend to many and is pursuing her calling straight from God to help other moms go through life.

What past attendees from my other events have to say . . .
I feel more confident, though there remains some nervousness just beginning this homeschool journey coming up on Tuesday. I left the interviews feeling that I had more knowledge necessary to educate my child. God Bless You, I hope to hear from you again. - Deb
Even after ten (10) years of homeschooling I still love to listen to amazing ideas from other homeschoolers. I learn so much from the super heroes. I loved what Kerry said yesterday about remembering to have fun. Thanks Kerry!! Simple reminders like this make a huge difference. - Kelly
So wonderful to hear Sally Clarkson speak tonight! She is definitely one of my homeschool heroes – and a mentor through her books and website. - Stephanie

I have a special needs child so I am looking forward to the recordings. -Suzetter
I have enjoyed being able to listen to these great speakers from the comfort of my own home. I also appreciate the fact that there is a window of time when I can listen, and if I need to pause or rewind I can do that, too. I enjoyed hearing the wisdom about Raising Real Men, and also the encouragement to use my children’s middle school years well. Cathy
So timely! I had to try out some of your advice as I was listening. It is a never-ending process. Thanks for the help! - Susan
