Something you should know about me is that I am far from an expert skier. Regardless, I do still enjoy a nice ski retreat, sitting at the lodge, drinking my hot cocoa. And I do enjoy skiing, I promise. If you count the bunny slopes, that is, you know, the mountains that are about as steep as the floor you're sitting on. A few weeks ago, my friends took me on a ski retreat and they decided I was ready to conquer the blue slopes or the next level of difficulty. I did not feel ready to conquer the blue slopes. ...

I am a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work the more I have of it. One day at school I forgot to bring my homework but surprisingly the teacher didn't even check it. I thought wow I really got lucky but later I wondered was it really luck? Good afternoon everyone. I am Atyawat. Raise your hand if you wish to be luckier. We all do. But have you ever stopped to ask, is luck something that just happens or is it something people earn? Back when I was in fifth grade, I didn't know how to play bask ...

Then I stayed there for like two years, then back to school in Greece to continue the school. And of course, I I skipped three grades within one year becau ...

Welcome everyone. Today I want to ask you a question. What if your uh big failures were actually the key the key to your success.Well, it all starts with a growth mindset because champions are not born with a growth mindset.

Champions are not just the best.They're the ones who refuse to stop improving. If you want to be a champion, you need to think of these two things. First thing ...

Problem Statement & Background - Mental health service referrals for children in England increased by 71% compared to pre-pandemic levels [2] - 212% of children in England were classified as persistently absent from school [3] - Students are perceived as more stressed, anxious, and distracted [3] - Traditional education may stifle confidence and curiosity [6] - Exam stress, even at a young age (e g, 10 years old), can have serious consequences [8] Proposed Solution & Methodology - Mindset skills can be taught to improve calm, confidence, and consistency [2] - The "dropping" technique (sigh, shrug, and drop) combined with deep breathing can promote calm [14][15] - The ABC tool (Allow, Breathe, Change) helps reframe negative thoughts and build confidence [20][21] - The "just for now, just this" hack encourages consistency by focusing on small, manageable tasks [24][25] Supporting Evidence & Results - A study by the OECD involving 600,000 students across 78 countries showed that students with a growth mindset scored higher in reading, maths, and science, experienced less fear of failure, and reported greater life satisfaction [22][23] - A trial showed a 44% increase in student confidence after coaching, compared to a 12% increase in a control group [31][32] - The academic self-efficacy scale is used to measure self-confidence for learning [29][30] Caveats & Considerations - Mindfulness-based techniques have great potential but are difficult to teach well and require student buy-in [17][18] - Building rapport and trust is essential for students to engage with the techniques effectively [19] - Some individuals with ADHD or autism may find it harder to get started or stay focused [28]

[Applause] What if I told you your brain was like play-doh. It's soft, malleable, and everchanging. Each one of your thoughts leaves an imprint just like this.The more you repeat this thought, the deeper the imprint becomes. This is how your brain forms neural pathways. We all have good and bad days and our brain takes note of them all.Good and bad thoughts leave a mark. But the good news are these marks are reversible. You are never stuck.You can always reshape your brain. And the term for this is neuropla ...

Good afternoon everyone. Quick check in. Tell me if you burn toast so bad it look like a piece of coal or sent a text to a teacher that you're supposed to send to a friend and you thought I've never touching the phone again. See, we've all stared at a failed and wanted to hide. Let's start with a quote. Thomas Edison said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. " Be real. If Addison make a light bulb today, he posts that 10,000 mistake on Tik Tok. When your experiments becomes a fi ...
