In this action packed and laughter-filled session, Kevin shares seven time-proven learning techniques that students can instantly integrate into their habits to improve their academic achievement.

Topic: Self Esteem & Emotional Intelligence

What separates top performing students, athletes and business people from those who are struggling? The answer isn’t found at the superficial level of ‘skills and behaviors’. Rather it’s those who master their own mind and emotions that go on to achieve great things. We’ve all been told to believe in ourselves, but how do you actually do it? In this seminar Kevin digs into decades of research and reveals the ‘secret sauce’ for self-esteem that every student can use to rapidly take their performance to a whole new level. It’s different, but it works… and students love it!

What has to happen in order for success and happiness to become the norm rather than the exception?

Kevin Mincher has spent more than a decade studying the habits of successful people and organizations. In this presentation Kevin his blueprint for helping more people succeed more often, and reveals the common mistakes that prevent communities from fulfilling their potential.

How do you get teachers to enjoy their work and perform at their best, even when times are tough? Student performance is inextricably linked to staff performance. As such, it makes absolute sense for schools to have systems in place that enable teachers to consistently be at their best. But what do those systems need to consist of? What needs to be avoided? What do we need to do more of? What’s the difference that makes the difference? In this seminar, Kevin digs into his research on effectiveness and defines four fundamentals that determine the performance levels of learning organizations.

How can your school strengthen its community connections and engage more families in the learning journey? Broadband Internet has changed the structure of society and communities aren’t what they used to be. In this presentation, award-winning entrepreneur, Kevin Mincher shares cutting-edge lessons from the sales and marketing industries to help schools increase parents and students involvement in school activities. Websites, email, SMS and social media have a role to play, but it’s how schools structure their communications that will determine their effectiveness.

This is the single most important element of youth development because a teenager’s level of self-esteem and confidence will affect every decision they make and action they take. Most parents know they need to help their kids flourish in these areas, unfortunately, too few adults actually know how to do it. In this powerful presentation, Kevin Mincher uncovers common untruths about teenager’s emotional wellbeing and deals with popular myths regarding low self-esteem in children. Perhaps more importantly, he reveals his recipes for success and shows parents a series of simple strategies they can use to boost the self-belief of their family.

The economy has changed, the jobs market has changed, and now families need to change their approach to education if they’re going to succeed in the modern world. In this insightful seminar, Kevin Mincher identifies what has altered since parents left school, explains what this means for young people that are about to graduate, and clarifies what parents do can (and cannot do) to help their children get the grades they need. Time and time again, the practical strategies Kevin shares in this session have given parents the ability to help their kids improve their school performance in a very short period of time.

Since 1997 Kevin has studied the psychology of persuasion and the art of influence. In this in-depth program, Kevin shares the sources that have shaped his philosophy on youth development and reveals his A-Z of communication strategies for adults that live and work with young people. His aim is to help parents, educators, and employers form more harmonious relationships with 12-25 year olds, and share the methods he uses to help this generation achieve things that others think are impossible.
