      Meet Holly Sharp

      Award Winning Author. Coach. Classroom Advocate

      Helping Kids, Parents and Teachers Navigate The Question:

      "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

       

      The Top 100 Books on Amazon cover only 20 careers - we can do better.
      With 2/3 of adults having regret about their career choices- we have to do better.

    • Did You Know What you Wanted to Be when You Were in Elementary School?

      Then why do we push kids to answer this question without telling them their choices?

       

      Holly Sharp has developed a 3 step system to get kids headed in the right direction.

      Step 1: Evaluation - Figure out your child's "career personality"

      Step 2: Exposure - Learn about lots of jobs before asking this question.

      Step 3: Execution- Inspire them to find activities and role models that fit this personality
