Rosalind Wiseman Biography
Rosalind Wiseman has been on a quest: to help people put words to experiences they struggle to articulate and bring dignity back into our families, schools, work and communities. As a global thought leader, she speaks on leadership, conflict, communication, and youth culture at the highest levels of government, corporations, and educational institutions.
Wiseman is the bestselling author of nine books, including the New York Times bestsellers "Queen Bees and Wannabes" -- the inspiration for the "Mean Girls" movie and musical franchise -- and "Masterminds & Wingmen," named Best Parenting Book by Books for a Better Life. Her most recent book, published with co-author Shanterra McBride, is "Courageous Discomfort: How to Have Brave, Life Changing Conversations about Race and Racism." She also contributed to David Yeager’s "10 to 25: A Groundbreaking Approach to Leading the Next Generation And Making Your Own Life Easier."
National media regularly depends on Wiseman’s expertise on principled leadership, conflict, youth culture, education, and parenting. She has been profiled in, or written for, The New York Times, Los Angeles, Times, the Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, and USA Today, among others. A frequent guest on national media like the "TODAY," CNN, "Good Morning America," and NPR affiliates throughout the country, Wiseman has spoken to audiences throughout the United States and abroad, including SXSW, Microsoft, UBS, The Royal Society for the Arts, the Association for the Advancement of International Education, the Game Developers Conference, the American Association of School Administrators, and at the White House.
Wiseman serves as a senior leadership consultant at the US State Department’s Office for Overseas Schools, which serves over 195 schools throughout the world and as a consultant at the Texas Science Behavior and Mind Institute. She is a board member of the Johnson Depression Center at Colorado University Anschutz Medical Center.

Recognizing how this system influences our reactions in challenging situations
Distinguishing between respect and dignity to transform relationships
Mastering essential skills to navigate difficult or uncomfortable conversations with success
Discovering actionable strategies to foster more meaningful connections in both personal and professional relationships
Despite the efforts to empower women in the workplace, many still struggle with deeply ingrained social conditioning from adolescence. Without realizing it, we may find it hard to advocate for ourselves, communicate assertively, or face difficult conversations for fear of seeming uncooperative or mean. Until we confront this conditioning, we risk undermining our own success and ability to uplift one another. Work doesn’t have to feel like middle school—we can break these patterns and unlock our full potential.
Audience Takeaways:
Redefining the “rules” around anger and using it as a powerful tool in conflict
Developing the skills to advocate for yourself with confidence
Navigating group dynamics when others aren’t contributing equally
Mastering assertiveness and standing up for yourself
Embracing your authority and stepping into leadership roles with confidence and generosity
Many young people today feel disconnected from older generations, believing their experiences and challenges are too different to be understood. Meanwhile, those who teach, manage, or mentor them often struggle with frustration and failed attempts to connect, leading to misunderstandings and disconnection.
To bridge this generational divide, we need effective communication strategies that resonate with younger people. We must understand what motivates them—and why they sometimes shut us out.
Drawing on the most current brain and behavioral research and over 25 years of experience, Rosalind Wiseman provides the answers. She will help you break through stereotypes and assumptions to effectively work with, mentor, teach, parent, and connect with the next generation.
Key Takeaways:
Insights from the latest research on young people's motivation, status, and "earned prestige"
Understanding the protector, enforcer, and mentor mindsets
Practical scripts to avoid power struggles and miscommunication when giving feedback
People are asking for, and sometimes demanding, leadership roles in new and innovative ways. But few of us are equipped to seize crucial leadership moments when they arise. Rosalind shares how to transform leadership challenges and crises into moments of where meaningful and substantive change becomes a reality.
Audience Takeaways:
Redefining leadership beyond formal titles or roles
Distinguishing between leadership and being bossy
Cultivating a sense of belonging so everyone feels their contributions matter
Managing conflict as a leader and turning challenges into opportunities for increased group cohesion and effectiveness
In today’s world, it can feel overwhelming or intimidating to step into difficult conversations and make a real difference. This presentation empowers you to engage in honest dialogue, even in situations where most stay silent or only a few dominate.
Key Takeaways:
Distinguishing between a curious question and one that escalates conflict
Building skills for giving and receiving constructive feedback
Understanding emotional regulation, emotional hijacking, and the role of boundaries
Turning discomfort into meaningful, productive conversations
