    Show notes

    No map is perfect. But a compass always points north. When coaching, don’t give your students a map. Give them a compass and let them discover the path. Becky says that’s what great leadership is all about.

    Chillaxing and Learning May 13, 2016
    Show notes

    STRESS! FEAR! These are the enemies of learning. They shut down your pre-frontal cortex. It's why you say stupid things when you're arguing. You can't learn when you're stressed; nor can your learners. Becky has some simple ways you can reduce the stress, including some things you probably haven't thought of before.

    Why Spacing Your Learning Is Better Than Cramming Apr 29, 2016
    Show notes

    Brain science shows that if you cram for a test, you may do well on the test but you don't retain what you learned. If you space your learning out over time, you'll remember it. Becky has some great tips on how you can do that.
