Background: Donna McGoff was born in Newport, Rhode Island, and was an educator and guidance counselor for the Newport School Department for many years. She has two grown children and currently lives in Jensen Beach, Florida.

Since leaving the school department, she dabbled in many different professional fields deciding to find a new life purpose. None of them gave the satisfaction that she experienced in the teaching field. So, she decided that she would find a way to touch young lives in a positive way from a different perspective—a more creative way.

That was how she can to invent Use Your I’s which is a board game featured in the Creative Therapy Store of the Western Psychological Service. It teaches children to speak to each other in an assertive rather than aggressive manner and I Feel Angry When… which teaches children anger control strategies along with incorporating the use of I-messages.

Her latest endeavor is authoring The Power of Goal Setting which comes out of her desire for children to know that the power comes from inside and that they can be, do, or have what they want—that is reasonable and attainable. She wants to inspire this awareness in children at an early age so that they have the confidence to create and forge their own path in life. The Power of Goal Setting is a stepping stone to developing greater self esteem and a simple example of learning to exercise the mind.
