ABOUT ROSALIND
Rosalind started her career because she noticed the same pattern underneath very different human problems: a teenager feeling alienated from friends, a parent and child caught in a power struggle neither one knew how to get out of, a team derailed by a single misunderstanding. The situations looked nothing alike, but the cause was almost always the same. Someone didn't feel respected. Resentment, judgment, and conflict followed.
That is why dignity, the recognition of every person's inherent worth, sits at the center of her work. When people demand respect from each other, everyone loses. When people demand dignity for each other, everyone wins. Leading with dignity is what makes real change possible in families, schools, workplaces, and communities.
Rosalind is the best-selling 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.
Currently, she serves as a senior leadership consultant at the US State Department’s Office for Overseas Schools which serves over 195 schools throughout the world. Most recently, she contributed to David Yeager’s 2024 best-selling book 10 to 25: A Groundbreaking Approach to Leading the Next Generation And Making Your Own Life Easier.
She has been interviewed, profiled in, or written for The New York Times, The London Times, The Atlantic, The Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, USA Today, NPR affiliates throughout the country and many others. Audiences she has presented to include South by Southwest, Microsoft, UBS, Google, The Royal Society for the Arts, the Association for the Advancement of International Education, the United States Justice Department, the Library of Congress, the United States Department of State, the Game Developers Conference, the American Association of School Administrators, and at the White House many times across administrations.
Rosalind has an honorary doctorate from Occidental College, and is a board member of the Johnson Depression Center at Anschutz Medical Center. She is a native of Washington, D.C., a daughter, sister, wife, mother of two young men, and lives in Boulder, Colorado and Valencia, Spain.
