One of the greatest challenges for me is motivating students that learning is a constant just as change. Coaching is a vital part of what I do to enable and empower young people to own the learning. I recently read John Assaraf's, www.johnassaraf.com, "The Street Kid's Guide to Having It All" and have been have become aware of the eight Multiple Intelligences that my students demonstrate in the classroom setting. Combined with this article I am seemany of my students take a new view of learning as I address their particular learning intelligence.

New learning sometimes challenges what students know , think they know, and or don't know to the extent of they decide not to bother. The first rule of my classroom is to "believe you can do" whatever it is if you work toward a goal. I have been reading John Assaraf's, A Street Kid's Guide to Having it All", http://www.johnassaraf.com/blog/ and find his chapter on The Powerful Brain ties into the issue of self-esteem and a can do attitude. I plan to incorporate this article and Assaraf's work into my class to, hopefully, encourage my students to gain a better understanding of how they feel about themselves controls all aspects of a can do attitude.

I have just finished reading John Assaraf's, "The Street Kid's Guide to Having It All" and in Chapter 5 "Your Powerful Brain" [http://www.johnassaraf.com/blog/2007/10/31/your-powerful-brain/ Assaraf identifies four stages of learning. The third stage is described in the article of how the young man did not know he could not solve a problem and developed a "conscious competence" through the hard work of problem solving. As a teacher, I often work with young people who are conditioned, believe or are stuck in a level of "conscious incompetence" with very few clues or tools to move to a level of " conscious competence". Once a student can break the barrier on it can not be done to find the I can do it...amazing things happen.

Before I became successful as a Life Coach, I worried everyday how I would find new cleints and whether or not I had what it took to be successful. Then, one day, I realized that if I wasn't my biggest fan, who would be? I have since quit doubting myslef and allowed the universe to send me all the abundance it has to offer. Great article!

It often helps to work in reverse with this one. Sometimes it can be hard for people to even figure out what they want, especially when they feel so completely bogged down in a job they dislike. If you begin by looking at what you DON'T want, it's often easier to start making that list and then slowly you can better articulate what you DO want.

The self-employed has to be a complete optimist daily visioning exactly what she or he expects and dreams of. And love what s/he does! It then all becomes so easy, so simple and so effective!
