Description

Your brain is central to everything you think, feel and do! Learn how to utilise your greatest asset to learn easier and create a more positive relationship with yourself!No matter where we are or what we do - our brains are either working with us or against us. Or so it seems. The problem is that  we often don't slow down and pay enough attention to what our brain is trying to do - which is essentially look after us. It just doesn't always "get it right" for our modern world.With some more knowledge (which we will teach you), some more self-awareness (we've got activities to get you started), and some proactive steps you can take right now (we've got you covered here too) - you can develop an amazing relationship with your Brain! Hi! I'm Tanya, CEO/Founder of Learn Grow Become, a social enterprise based in regional Queensland (Australia) and dedicated to reinvesting 51% of profits back into Indigenous education initiatives. I've had a love /not-love relationship with my brain for pretty much forever. It's only in recent years I've become more and more focused on understanding how it all works, and how it can work better for me. When it comes to learning, I literally struggled for years and years and years, to get through various courses. It was only when I had the opportunity to expand my own teaching skills that I had the epiphany that if we taught students how to learn they would be empowered to create a learning (or life in general) experience that would work for them AND be a complete game changer.This, combined with my curiosity around how our mind, body and emotions interconnect (and the brain/s in general) has led to the creation of this course. I personally believe that our relationship with our brains is a game changer for all parts of our lives. We become much more aware and intentional - and stop wasting time and energy on the beliefs, words and actions that are not helping us feel good. So what is this course all about? This course is designed to teach you in a brain-friendly way, all about how your brain works and doesn't work when it comes to learning anything new. By the end:You will have a deeper appreciation of what actually motivates you and what holds you backYou will have a support map in place and strategies to apply to any new learning situationYour awareness of your own marvellous brain will be expanded with some useful actions to take to improve its, and your effectivenessYou will have greater confidence in your own learning ability.And lots of other stuff too! It is actually the first part of our Learn2Learn program.  All of the content is research based and research validated (CQUniversity, Swinburne University of Technology) to ensure that what outcomes we think you should get from the course are in fact possible, probable even. In short, it changes lives. Your Brain is a Game-Changer is an opportunity for you to learn more about how you can make the most of this magnificent part of yourself, and gain more control over how well you feel, think and act - in all parts of your life.
