About this workshop
The Powerful Why and the Power to Finish
During this compact half-hour session, we will explore the Mockingbird Strong Mind Strategy* called Powerful Why. Inspired by mental toughness strategies used by Navy SEALs’ during Hell Week SEAL orientation, this simple yet powerful psychological strategy helps learners navigate through temporary states of demotivation and learning fatigue.
It’s not just another strategy; it’s the linchpin for helping students ignite motivation during moments of learning fatigue.
In this workshop, you will learn…
1. WHAT the strategy is.
2. WHY the strategy builds mental resilience and mental toughness in learners
3. HOW to introduce the strategy to learners
4. HOW and WHEN to integrate the strategy into your teaching, coaching, or mentoring.
Psst… This strategy isn’t just for learners. This strategy will help you develop the mental toughness and resiliency skills you need to be an effective facilitator, coach, and mentor to vulnerable learners and help you preserve your mental health and well-being.
Our virtual workshops are interactive.
Your facilitator will not waste your time and will work hard to make your virtual learning experience rewarding, informative, and motivating.
To enjoy the optimal learning experience…
- Turn your camera on and be prepared to use the camera, chatbox and audio.
- Have a pen and paper ready for learning activities
- Keep your phone available to access any QR codes
And bring a spirit of joy and wonder…. our facilitator will take care of the rest!
Mockingbird Mind Strong Strategies are Mental Toughness Strategies that Help Learners Power Through Learning Fatigue and Difficult Lessons so They Can Finish What They Start!
Each strategy is grounded in research and designed specifically to help vulnerable learners power through mental fatigue and the daily grind of learning and attending a short cycle, intense learning program.
