A 90-minute live workshop for parents. The skills employers want most can't be tutored in. They have to be grown, and no one grows them like you.
<hr>
Employers are telling us what the next decade of work will require, and it isn't more screen time or another coding class.
In the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025, more than half of employers named durable human skills, including creative thinking, resilience, self-awareness, empathy, and curiosity, among the core skills their workforce needs. CASEL, a leading authority on social and emotional learning, echoes this in its annual State of the Field address: alongside math, reading, and science, these human skills are what let a person grow, adapt, and thrive no matter how the economy or job market shifts.
Here's the part most parents never hear. Those workplace skills aren't a separate checklist to train. Each one grows out of a deeper set of social-emotional competencies: knowing your own emotions, managing them under pressure, and reading the emotions of others. Resilience and flexibility grow from a child learning to manage emotion. Empathy and collaboration grow from learning to read others. Creativity and sound judgment grow from self-awareness. Build that foundation, and the workplace skills follow. Skip it, and no amount of tutoring or enrichment fills the gap.
And that foundation is built through relationships, which is where you come in.
Teachers, coaches, and mentors all contribute to a child's social-emotional growth. But the most important relationship is the one at home. A child's bond with a parent is the template for every relationship that follows, and it is where they first learn whether emotions can be named, whether stress can be soothed, and whether the world is safe enough to stay curious in. Psychologists call that bond attachment, and it is the soil these durable skills grow in. No teacher or program can replace it, and no adult has more influence over it than you, at every age including the teen years.
This workshop shows you how it works and what to do about it: which skills the future demands, why they matter more as AI reshapes work, how secure attachment builds them from the inside out, and what you can start doing today.
<h2>What You'll Learn</h2>
<ul>
<li>The 2030 Skills Landscape. Which durable human skills employers actually need, and why AI makes them more essential, not less.</li>
<li>From Skills to Foundation. How the skills employers want are really expressions of deeper social-emotional competencies, and why those competencies take root at home first.</li>
<li>The 4 Attachment Styles. How your child's bond with you shapes their ability to manage emotion, collaborate, stay curious, and bounce back under pressure.</li>
<li>When Attachment Gets in the Way. How insecure attachment quietly undermines the exact skills the future workplace requires most, often without anyone noticing.</li>
<li>What You Can Do Right Now. Practical, everyday ways to strengthen the secure foundation your teen needs, at any age.</li></ul>

Jimmy & Jennifer Jhanda take the reins - new Primos Owners

PRIMOS

Big news is cookin' in downtown Danville: Primos, the neighborhood hangout that's been serving up good times and great food for nearly 50 years, has new owners—Jimmy and Jennifer Jhanda. Even better? They've teamed up with local restaurant powerhouse guru Wes Aziz, who will be running the show as Operating Partner. The Jhanda family—deeply rooted in the Danville community—is stepping in with one goal: keep everything locals love about Primos, while breathing in new life where it counts. Think: the same welcoming vibe, comfort classics on the menu, plus a few fresh twists and surprises coming soon. "Primos is legendary in Danville and has a great soul," said Jimmy Jhanda. "We're not here to change that—we're here to protect it, refresh it, and make sure it's still around for the next 50 years." Jhanda sold and exited his wildly successful tech staffing franchise 12 months ago and retired. One goal during retirement, for both him, and his wife Jennifer was to make an investment in the local Danville community and Primo's checked all the boxes. Great Food. Energized Sports. Community Feel. "Primos is part of the fabric of this town," said Jennifer Jhanda. "We're just adding a few new threads." Wes Aziz, known for turning restaurants into neighborhood hotspots, is bringing his signature energy and expertise to the day-to-day. From the kitchen to the floor, he's already rolling up his sleeves and getting to work. "Primos has always had a great vibe," said Aziz. "We're dialing that up. More flavor, more fun, and more community—that's the mission." "Under this new leadership dream team, guests can expect updated decor, community focused events, and a refreshed menu that honors Primos' roots while adding new crowd pleasers. But don't worry—your favorites aren't going anywhere." The team invites everyone—old regulars, new neighbors, and curious foodies—to stop in and say hi.
