internationally on accelerated, integrative and conceptual learning methods.
Contact Information 23 As a world leader in this area, she has spent more than ten years on an
almost non-stop series of presentations around the globe: to corporations,
educational organizations and schools. One authority says she has done more
to change Swedish education than any other person in the past 20 years.
Most recently she has added numerous health certifications to her repertoire
of skills as she feels strongly that most people ignore the health of the brain/
mind/body/spiritual connection for optimal living, learning/unlearning and
thinking/unthinking.
Her book, Unlimited: Your new learning revolution and the seven keys
to unlock it, coauthored with Gordon Dryden breaks new ground into the
broader picture of integrative, conceptual and accelerated learning within
our high tech world. However, Jeannette is currently working on her other
books relating to brain research, music and brain/mind/body/spiritual health
and learning, with an emphasis on achieving excellence in ones life, through
learning to eat healthy, learning to learn, unlearn and think, communication
skills, creative problem solving, innovating, and literally -- designing ones
own future - mentally, physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually.
