The Power of Beliefs: How Strengthening Seven Core Beliefs Predicts Greater Success & A Better Life
Presented by: Shawn Achor
A great predictor of future educational performance is the beliefs that a student holds about the world. Beliefs change the math about what is possible and probable, whether it’s making a team, getting accepted to a great school, or thriving with ADHD. By changing the math, beliefs change our path. Parents can actively shape those beliefs in ways that measurably increase student resilience, happiness, and long-term success, and Achor will reveal the seven core beliefs that predict educational outcomes and wellbeing. Gain practical tools to help kids strengthen the most predictive core beliefs like “I am not alone,” “My behavior matters,” “I have something to give,” and “I matter” and leave with strategies that can rewire how children see themselves and their world. Learn how to improve your child’s emotional immune system, especially in the midst of social media and technology. Beliefs about ourselves, our children, our work and our world don’t just reflect reality. Beliefs bend our future reality. Same world. Different beliefs. Different outcomes.
