We will explode some “urban myths” about teaching and education and provide practical insights you can use to help your students learn faster and more effectively. We will examine the key bottlenecks in the learning process and how to circumvent them.

We will also examine the power of habit and why it is so hard for people to change – even when their lives or jobs depend on it. We will provide insights that will help coaches in training develop more effective coaching behaviors and assist their coachees in developing more effective live and leadership habits.
