Workshops Topics

Training Materials are Included.

Needs Assessment

Assessing and measuring students' school status; class management; home support; personal motivation; trauma exposure to gauge emotional ability to learn. Needs Assessment is based on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs model that explains the higher up in the hierarchy, the better students are motivated to learn.

Purpose Development

Self-regulation to improve mental and behavioral health by initiating a self-directed, inward examination framework to empower purpose thinking. Purpose Development offers a “cognitive” model to build confidence by setting higher self-expectations to increase proactivity in personal & educational pursuits.

Interest Engagement

A fundamental desire we humans have is the desire for purpose and how to achieve it. Interest Engagement incorporates individual strength-based action plans and assessments to engage and strategize in focus resources: mentors; counselors; tutoring; coaches; therapists; after-school programs.

Brain Neuroplasticity

Thoughts can change the structure and function of our brain. The brain continually reorganizes and improves itself by everything we do and think. By harnessing Brain Neuroplasticity, we help students think clearly, learn more easily, and develop an optimistic approach towards academic productivity.

New Lens

Positive and negative influences effect how one sees and interprets their life mission. The new lens transforms a student's sense to develop habits to avoid toxic thoughts while cultivating positive mental attitude about learning and incorporating life skills and acheiving short and long term goals.

Self-Care

When one feels stressed and overwhelmed its easy to stop doing things that replenish focus and productivity. Self-Care is designed to appeal to professionals and students to develop a personalized practical mental health plan to improve skills and techniques to thirve in classroom, work and home.

Personal Development Certification Available for Additional $49
