Tackle Behaviors that Challenge: by saying “YOU MAY”
As humans, we have a natural tendency to use blaming language. When we train ourselves to think in new and healthier ways, we discover how uncomfortable blaming, living in the past and problem-centric language can be. In this session, we will talk about how to make the transition to a new, positive way of interacting that can dramatically improve interactions in your learning environment.
