Our childhood and teen years can be some of our most exciting and explorative years, creating a platform for many of our choices later in life. It can also be a very vulnerable and impressionable period in a child's personal and social development so, on a neurological level, it is important to create desirable and positive points of reference. These points of reference are then used throughout our life as a compass for many things, such as moral and ethical decisions as well as a blueprint for learning. Having as many positive neurological points of reference enables us to make informed life choices with confidence in the future. As a teenager, our decisions are often based on our interpretation of social acceptability, or what is deemed to be 'normal' behaviour. The point of reference often being the boundaries that were set as a benchmark during childhood. If we do not give our children a solid foundation for their decision making skills early on in their lives, they are more likely to make some questionable and potentially harmful decisions when they reach their teens. We have all heard the ever increasing reports in the media of young adults binge drinking, street racing, committing anti-social behaviour, as an example. As a former educator I was initially taught to teach in a very specific and generic manner in the hope that I would capture as many of the pupils as possible. At first glance, this may have appeared the most logical way to impart information, but it became apparent very quickly it was neither effective nor efficient and only catered to a very small number of pupils whose learning style matched the model. I found I was continually repeating the same messages over and over, had very poor attention rates and the retention of information was less than desirable. It is a story I hear time after time from teachers the world over. I was pebble-dashing my class with information in a hope some would hit the mark and stick! This is why education is so important - and needs to start with the leaders in their fields. It was from these lessons, I developed a programme to teach people how to become a ‘neurological sniper' - how to deliver your message first time, every time - with precision and accuracy. These have become such a success that now every week, we run programmes to impart these vital techniques to teachers, caregivers, educators, parents, coaches - in fact anyone who is in the business of giving information. By learning what stimulates their neurons to fire, you will be maximising on your teaching time and communicating with eloquence and control. Would you like to learn:
The science behind these techniques is cutting-edge. By utilising the most current developments on expanded awareness; peripheral learning; logical vs creative stimuli; and brain stimulation and conditioning - will place you at the forefront of these technologies.
