For over a decade, Ms. Galinsky has worked with top researchers from across the country, filming their experiments and studying their results demonstrating how we learn best. In her recently released highly acclaimed best selling book, Mind in the Making (Harper Collins 2010), she identifies seven Life Skills that are essential to success—in school, the workforce and in life.
During the webinar, Ellen will outline the meaning and importance of Executive Functions of the brain and why they underlie Life Skills, describe several essential Life Skills, as well as provide parents with easy everyday things they can do to foster these Life Skills in their children and themselves. Attendees will see videos of researchers “in action” sharing studies on the topic, and gain the ability to apply what is presented not only to parenting techniques but adult learning as well.
5 lucky webinar attendees will receive a free copy of Mind in the Making .
