Bobbi DePorter is the founder and President of Learning Forum International. Ms. DePorter is an early pioneer in the applications of accelerated learning, which she first applied in her highly successful business school. She then had the vision to help children realize their potential by teaching these same learning techniques to them. This inspiration led to the launch of SuperCamp learning and life skills summer programs in 1982.
SuperCamp has achieved worldwide success. Over 50,000 students have graduated from the program. The Wall Street Journal reports that SuperCamp “turns so-so students into academic achievers.” USA TODAY states that, “Schools take a cue from SuperCamp successes.” Additionally, SuperCamp was honored in the “Touch America: Showcase of Model Learning Programs”, in Washington, D.C.
Inspired by her success with SuperCamp, Bobbi established Learning Forum International to extend the same experiences and opportunities to students, teachers and school districts with limited financial resources.
Ms. DePorter is the founder and President of Quantum Learning Network, which offers training to youth, educators and businesses throughout the U.S. and around the world. Her programs have impacted more than four million kids worldwide.
Bobbi has written over a dozen books, which have been translated into seven languages, including the following:
The 8 Keys of Excellence: Principles to Live By
The Seven Biggest Teen Problems and how to turn them into Strengths
Quantum Learning: Unleashing the Genius in You
Quantum Teaching: Orchestrating Student Success
Quantum Success: 8 Keys to Shift Your Energy into Dynamic Focus
Quantum Business: Achieving Success Through Quantum Learning
The Quantum Upgrade Series
Bobbi founded the Excellence Effect movement in 2010 as a solution to the excellence deficit prevalent among many young people today. Between the already-established Communities of Excellence school program and the 8 Keys family program, launched in January 2011, the Excellence Effect has a goal of positively impacting 50 million kids by 2015 by strengthening their character core through embodying the 8 Keys of Excellence.
Bobbi is a 2006 Readers Choice Winner for Fast Company magazine’s “Fast 50” list of leading creative thinkers and a member of the Transformational Leadership Council.
