Reisitance is Futile (Original webcast date: 12 January, 2017) 

The X Factor: How’s it working for you? (Presented by Mark Reardon)

During the keynote, Resistance is Futile, we examined the brain’s capacity to bounce back from adverse conditions, and were introduced to the X Factor Phenomenon. We learned that new experiences shape our mindsets, and that our mindsets shape our expressions (words and actions). If we want to transform our students’ lives—help them rise above their current situation—we must create meaningful, positive, belief-shaping experiences.

In this webinar, I’ll reinforce what we learned at the conference and then apply the X Factor Phenomenon to specific situations you encounter every day. We’ll explore strategies that increase your competence and confidence, and answer any questions you might have.
