The Story of Dr. Ken Gibson

The Story of Dr. Gibson – The Creator of YESS

Did you know that the best way to be happier for the long-term involves only making changes linked to things you can control?

Hi, I’m Tanya Mitchell with my father Dr. Ken Gibson. We are the founders of YESS – which stands for “Your Epic Success System”. We created this video – to help you or someone you love – be happier and more successful over the long-term, by guiding you in how to change the things you can control.

Our lives have been devoted to helping teens and young adults are more productive and happier. Prior to YESS, we founded LearningRx and BrainRx – brain training companies located in 43 countries and in 23 languages - that achieve unmatched results in cognitive, learning, and reading skills. Recently, we took some of that technology and started YESS – because – it was obvious to us – that people struggled not just because of poor learning skills – but many – because of poor LIFE SKILLS.

At the end of this video, in a few minutes, we will you free tools that you will find in the link in the description below the video – they include:

• a tool that evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of a person’s life skills;
• an eBook that my dad wrote to encourage a grandson – who was struggling;
• and a 4-part video that goes deeper into the major causes of life struggles and the solutions and options you have to help
• you’ll love all of them.

But now – let’s get into our topic.

The Story of Dr. Gibson – The creator of YESS 

This video features the story of Dr. Gibson, who founded and nurtured many successful programs over his career, including the Your Epic Success System (YESS), which he developed with his daughter Tanya Mitchell to help struggling teens and young adults overcome life challenges. Dr. Gibson began his career as an eye doctor devoted to children, but after years of research and implementing new procedures to bring about greater and faster gains in learning, he developed a brain training program with unmatched results. This led to the development of ReadRx, a special reading program that achieved a three-year gain in reading skills in just six months, and a brain training program that led to IQ gains of up to 19 points in less than six months. Dr. Gibson has won multiple awards and accolades throughout his career and is listed as one of the "5 most influential people in the field of visual learning." The YESS program, developed by Dr. Gibson and his daughter, focuses on helping people of any age to be happier and more successful by addressing issues such as motivation, goal setting, habits, and responsibility. Dr. Gibson and his family continue to work together on many projects, and they enjoy eating and traveling together.

Seeking Greater and Faster Gain in Learning

Through advanced reading, researching, and implementing new procedures to bring about greater and faster gains in learning, Dr. Gibson's continued advancements pushed his work out of just improving patients' eyes and visual processing to the forefront of developments in cognitive skills  – both in investigative testing and training programs. In clinic, we tested and measured everything we did. Initially, the gains were small; for example, special education students would fall another 2 months behind the average student every year.  But our training allowed them to catch up 3 months towards the average every year. Back in the 1970’s, that was remarkable but it was still a slow process, like watching grass grow!

Ten Years Later: 10 Times the Size and Speed of Gains!

Then in the 1980s, we had major breakthroughs after redesigning our training. These modifications enabled us to get about a year's gain in cognitive skills for every month of cognitive training! That was over 10 times the speed and gain we were able to achieve only a decade earlier!

Using those training techniques, we later developed a program we called ReadRx that averaged about a three-year gain in reading skills in 6 months! Additionally, we co-created a brain training program in which we were able to prove effective IQ gains of 10 to 12 points in six months via a double-blind study, getting over a 19-point improvement in IQ in less than 6 months.

"In the fifty years, I’ve worked with students and adults struggling to learn – I could see that they had other problems besides poor cognitive skills. They had problems with – motivation, they lacked goals, had poor habits, and avoided taking responsibility or action.  That is why, after turning my brain training program over to two of my five kids, my daughter Tanya and I, plus a few grandkids, took on a new challenge! We embarked on writing the YESS (Your Epic Success System) Program to help teens and young adults. We specifically wrote this course for anyone, of any age - to learn to be happier and more successful”.

There is a long list of programs, products, research papers, studies, courses, and books written and developed by Dr. Gibson and it might take another whole-length video to explain all of them. If you are interested in reviewing any of these additional resources or videos in addition to your course material for YESS, you can find them here, at XXX.com

NOW THE YESS PROGRAM

The YESS program is an exceptional achievement, born from the collaboration of Dr. Gibson and his daughter, Tanya Mitchell. Working together, they have created a unique and innovative approach to helping people of all ages achieve greater success and happiness in their lives.

As Tanya explains, "I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to work with my father. His vast experience and wisdom have been invaluable in creating YESS. He began as a pediatric eye doctor and went on to start a chain of preschools, a grade school, and a multi-discipline learning center. He also taught in both high school and college. Seeing the struggles that students faced in their learning, he left his practice to develop cognitive (brain) training programs that are now used around the world. Working alongside him, I am excited to continue this legacy with the YESS program."

YESS is designed to address the many challenges that people face when trying to achieve their goals, from a lack of motivation and direction to poor habits and a failure to take responsibility for their own success. The program offers a comprehensive approach to personal development, combining cognitive training with tools and strategies for goal-setting, time management, and effective communication.

Through the YESS program, individuals can learn how to overcome obstacles and achieve their full potential. Whether you are a student struggling to keep up with your studies, a professional looking to advance in your career, or simply someone seeking greater fulfillment in your personal life, YESS can help you unlock your true potential and achieve your dreams.

About the Gibson Family 

Dr. Gibson's passion for working with his family is evident in everything he does. He explains, “I have always enjoyed involving my kids and grandchildren in most things I do, including my work. Even now, in my seventies, I make sure to see all my kids and most of my 17 grandkids every week. We love spending time together, eating together, and traveling together - all 28 of us and a few extended family members. Being a parent and grandparent is a high priority for my wife and me, and we cherish every moment of it.”

Dr. Gibson's love for his family inspired him to create the YESS program, which was initially written for one of his grandsons but has now been made available to everyone. The program aims to help teens and young adults develop the skills they need to be happy and successful in life. With YESS, Dr. Gibson and his daughter Tanya Mitchell hope to make a positive impact on the lives of people around the world.
