This talk highlights how traditional, teacher-centric learning approaches leave youth unprepared for an unpredictable future and shows how entrepreneurship education can unlock critical skills like creativity, resilience, curiosity, critical thinking and empathetic leadership. Drawing from personal experience and global impact stories, Beth calls on school leaders, educators, parents, and students to embrace a culture of experimentation, growth, and entrepreneurial problem-solving. It’s a powerful invitation to rethink education and unlock the skills youth need to navigate an unknown future. Educator, author, researcher, and coach, Dr. Beth Goldstein sees learning as a path to transform minds and create agency. She holds a doctorate in entrepreneurial leadership in education from Johns Hopkins University, where she researched the role educators play in increasing their students’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy, confidence, grit, growth mindset, and resilience. Beth is the Senior Academic Director for the Babson Academy Youth Impact Lab, a member of the entrepreneurship faculty, and a business coach for Babson’s Summer Venture Program. Beth currently teaches entrepreneurship at a women’s prison in Massachusetts and previously taught at Boston University, Brandeis University, Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico, and the Isenberg School at UMass, Amherst. Beth engages adults and youth learners across the globe, helping them see themselves as changemakers and entrepreneurial leaders, to empower them to design the world they want to live in.
