Partners with Author & Educator Esther Wojcicki on ‘Successful People’ Series
Area9 Lyceum is partnering with educator Esther Wojcicki, author of the best-selling How to Raise Successful People, to develop learning modules based on Wojcicki’s “TRICK” principles of Trust, Respect, Independence, Collaboration, and Kindness. The first module on “Kindness” will be offered for free, starting this week, on the Area9 website.

Wojcicki, known affectionately as the “Godmother of Silicon Valley” (her three daughters are the CEO of YouTube, the founder and CEO of 23andMe, and a top medical researcher), developed the TRICK principles to encourage behaviors that help people become successful. What applies in the classroom is equally impactful in business, particularly in times of significant change, such as COVID-19.

“The more distant people are from each other, the more organizations need to rely on their values to create cohesion and promote collaboration,” said Ulrik Juul Christensen, M.D., Executive Chairman & CEO of Area9 Lyceum. “We believe the TRICK principles, as developed by Esther Wojcicki – our much-admired advisor and friend – will help people become more successful in the new normal.”
The Kindness module, which was developed on the Area9 Rhapsode™ adaptive learning platform, addresses a core component of corporate culture: genuine compassion and caring for others. Such behaviors must be modeled by leaders and reflected in the interactions of colleagues at all levels of an organization. As Wojcicki explained, “The message from leaders has to be, ‘We care about you – you are important.’ When people experience kindness, they will also model the same behaviors when dealing with others.”
