Term 2 begins 22nd April 2026 | Wednesdays at 1 pm AEST | $297 AUD
You've been making big decisions with very little support.
You've probably sat across from teachers who couldn't see what you see.
You've likely made calls that felt huge, with uncertain timelines and very few people around you who get it. ​
You are probably also holding the bigger picture: a world that has changed faster than systems can adapt.
And a quiet, persistent questions: am I doing enough? Am I doing it right?
These are reasonable questions to live with And now you don't have to carry them in isolation.
​
The truth: your child was built for times like these.
The very qualities that traditional systems try to contain. The speed of processing, the depth of perception, the pattern recognition, the intensity, the creativity are precisely the qualities the emerging world needs and demands.
The work isn't about making your child fit anymore. It's about understanding their design clearly enough to plan effectively, advocate with confidence, and support their whole development over time.
That requires a different kind of orientation. Not just more information.
It requires a clearer framework, and a community of people who are navigating the same terrain.
Brilliant & Resilient is a facilitated conversation series that runs each school term.
Each session is 60 minutes and includes a teaching on a topic specific to raising gifted children, an integration exercise, and space for questions and conversation with the group.
If you join live, the integration exercise happens in breakout rooms — a short, structured activity with other parents. If you watch the replay, the exercise can be done solo, with a journal.
Term 2 runs from 22nd April to 24th June 2026.
Sessions are on Wednesdays at 1 pm AEST.
Aall sessions are recorded, if you can't make it live.​

About Devon Harris
I'm Devon Harris. I'm a parenting coach and Child and Adolescent Behavioural Specialist, and I work specifically with families raising gifted children.
​
I hold a degree in Youth Studies and spent over a decade working directly with young people in educational, therapeutic, and high-risk settings. I'm a certified Aware Parenting coach, and I've spoken at the Annual Mensa Conference for the past three years.
​
I'm also the parent of a radically accelerated child, a journey that has included ninja level advocacy, a foray into homeschooling, a school changes, and a lot of learning along the way.
​
I share this not because my family is a success story with a neat bow on it. We're not. But we are grounded. And I've walked enough of this terrain, professionally and personally, to know where the common pitfalls are, and how to navigate them.
​
My mission is to help parents develop the steady, attuned leadership their gifted children need to unfold with depth, dignity, and direction.
Join our live, interactive conversations each week with other parents of gifted kids where we explore real challenges, share insights, and apply evidence-based strategies that actually work.
What participants are saying:
If this is for you, you already know.
Not everyone who reads this will be the right fit for this work. And that's not a problem. That is discernment doing its job!
But if you've read this far and something in you is saying yes. Not with urgency or fear,. but with recognition, signing up is the right next step.
There is no pressure. Just an open door.
FAQs
What if I already know some of this, or have attended before?
This work is a practice. Many parents tell me they hear the same ideas again and they land at a deeper level, and easier to live. The teaching topics vary each term, and the conversation in the room is shaped by who's present.
What if my life already feels very full?
This space is designed to create capacity, not compete for it. Parents consistently report that clarity reduces the mental load of daily decision-making far more than the hour a week costs.
Is this the right fit if my child is homeschooling, in school, or somewhere between?
All of it belongs here. The principles adapt to your family's specific context.
Can I also work with Devon one-to-one?
Yes. I work with a small number of families each year in a dedicated 1:1 coaching relationship. If that's what you're looking for and you feel ready to commit, book a discovery call and we can explore what that would look like.
