Jill Rigby Garner
Speaker, Heart Education Expert, and Author
Jill Garner is a respected speaker, author, and founder of Manners of the Heart, a nonprofit working to reawaken respect in our society for the sake of the next generation. A champion for Heart Education, Jill and MOH challenge current trends by positioning education as a heart-first pursuit.
Jill’s parenting books include StrongHeart: Cultivating Humility, Respect and Resiliency in Your Child, Raising Respectful Children in a Disrespectful World, and Raising Unselfish Children in a Self-Absorbed World. Her books have been endorsed by Dr. Henry Cloud, Dr. Kathy Koch, Dr. Kevin Leman, and John Rosemond.
From workshops to retreats, Jill delivers bold truth on topics ranging from self-respect to humble confidence –always pointing back to the heart, the wellspring of what we think, say, and do. Jill’s keynote address, Moral Courage: It’s a Heart Issue, equips parents and educators to raise up a generation of StrongHearts, while her mission-defining message Grounded in Truth: Self-Respect Over Self-Esteem unveils profound insights about where self-worth is truly found. In her perspective session, A Heart Talk: A Shift in Perspective for Today’s Classroom, Jill invites educators to see themselves not as deliverers of curriculum, but as the curriculum
itself, shaping students' hearts through the examples they set.
She is the creator and voice behind HeartBeats, a daily iHeart radio spot that offers inspiration and encouragement to listeners. Jill has appeared on the CBS Early Show, CNN, Focus on the Family, Family Life Today, and more than 500 radio shows and podcasts.

A cheerleader can praise a player on the field, but can’t teach that player how to make the goal. It is the coach who teaches the player how to follow the rules, make the goal and win the game. In this workshop, parents learn how to coach their child with encouragement and training that will enable them to win in the game of life.
An action taken to change an inappropriate behavior constitutes effective discipline. Too often, we choose a form of punishment that may stop the wrong behavior in the moment, but doesn’t bring about a change in attitude to prevent the difficulties in the future. In this workshop, learn the most effective discipline that puts boundaries in place without building walls between you and your child.
In our highly competitive society, it’s no wonder that an estimated 31.7% of 13-16 year olds suffer from an anxiety disorder, putting them at a higher risk to perform poorly in school, suffer social and emotional instability, and engage in substance abuse, which can all lead to clinical depression. An in-depth look at an alternative perspective on prevention rather than treatment.
Four stages of child development, each with two “soul questions” that children need satisfied, are explained in this discussion-based workshop. Parents will identify the root cause of struggles in their children from birth to adulthood. Clear goals and best training methods are defined that enable parents to help their children grow in maturity and responsibility.
