About the Author
Elena Aguilar
Elena Aguilar is a best-selling author, speaker, consultant and trainer who has worked across the United States and internationally in the field of adult learning. Her 25 years in the education field led her to the topic of emotional resilience–there’s just no way to address teaching, learning and school improvement without also talking about feelings. Although Onward: Cultivating Emotional Resilience in Educators, and the accompanying workbook are directed at educators, the content of these books is relevant and useful to anyone–which led her to create this website. Elena is also the founder and president of Bright Morning Consulting.
