• Mensa Foundation Speaker series: William Mauldin

    2025 Mensa Foundation Speaker Series Our next session features William Mauldin, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst whose life and work reframe how we understand intelligence, behavior, and motivation. In this powerful conversation, host John Thompson will explore how William’s personal journey—from struggling in rigid classrooms to becoming a leader in learner-centered interventions—has shaped his mission: to build systems that prioritize autonomy over control. Rather than seeing intelligence as performance or compliance, William invites us to recognize it as the ability to communicate, self-direct, and shape one’s environment. Together, we’ll unpack how behavior systems can evolve to honor autonomy, foster intrinsic motivation, and build trust in each individual’s unique path to growth. This is a conversation for educators, parents, clinicians, and anyone reimagining what it means to help others grow.
