Are your dropout rates higher than you'd like them to be? Do students, clients or co-workers show anxiety, fears, frustration, anger, denial, and blame? Are you seeing less progress than you think your students are capable of making? Do you wonder why it is so difficult to change the way your program provides services or why you can't seem to move some colleagues out of their rut into implementing best practices? Dr. Weisel will address how the emotions impact learning, how previous negative educational experiences can impede progress, offer four research-based best practices you can immediately use to help all learners or clients (or co-workers) begin to manage their education-related baggage, recurring crisis situations, and fears of success!
