STAFF PROGRAMS:
The Third Factor: The Mindset of High Performance Educators
Why is it that in the same school, with similar resources, some teachers thrive while others flounder? The difference is the third factor – mindset — the way we manage the thoughts and emotions that impact every part of being an educator. This is the most distinguishing element high performance. It’s what enables us to clear our heads, make better decisions and focus on serving students. Develop this mental edge and you’ll become unstoppable. Scott will show you how to optimize your mindset for maximum performance and to bring out the best in your students.
Teenspiration!: How to Motivate Teenagers to Show Up, Step Up & Never Give Up
For a variety of reasons, not all students perform at the same level. Even among high-caliber kids, there’s a certain amount of insecurity, lack of focus and apathy. These students need more than information; they need inspiration. The best teachers supply both. Drawing upon years as motivational speaker and employer of young people, Scott Greenberg will show you how to light a fire inside your students. You’ll learn to help your students overcome the most common mental obstacles limiting their performance in class. This fun, interactive workshop will give you practical, immediately applicable tools for elevating your students (or anyone you lead) to a whole new level of performance.
Survival of the Finest: Thriving During Times of Change & Adversity
The phrase “Survival of the Fittest” doesn’t refer to those who are the strongest or smartest, but to those most adaptable to change. The education industry is in a constant state of flux. Instead of adapting intelligently, too many educators react emotionally, leading to poor, reactive decisions. During this program, Scott will outline critical survival skills that will help your staff develop the resilience and flexibility to thrive. They’ll learn ways to better control their minds while coping with uncontrollable circumstances. This enjoyable, content-rich program is filled with humor, stories and strategies that will give your staff the emotional boost they need to adapt, move forward and excel.
