🎉 Today’s my birthday! 🎉

No big party for me this year—I’m busy putting the final touches on The Art of Motivating Students summit, happening October 17-19!

Why now? Because October is when students and educators hit that "Sh*t Hits the Fan" moment. The new school-year motivation has worn off, and staying engaged feels like a real challenge—for students and for us as educators.

That’s why this summit is all about helping students thrive, even when things get tough. We’re sharing real, practical strategies to empower students to take charge of their own learning and rekindle their motivation. And we’ll also be supporting YOU—coaches, tutors, and educators—so you can stay creative, connected, and energized!

🎓 Think you know how to teach students to study?

Think again!

Research shows most students (AND EDUCATORS!) have never been properly taught how to study effectively…and the strategies they devise on their own aren’t effective!

😫 As a coach, tutor, or teacher, it’s frustrating when your study skills advice only confuses or overwhelms students, right?

🎉 The ART OF MOTIVATING STUDENTS Summit is here to help! We’re dedicating a full day to Study Skills & Self-Directed Learning Strategies—breaking down exactly what every student needs to know to make study skills actually work.

✅ You will walk away with simple, concrete tools to help your students thrive–and that’s just DAY 1 of this amazing 3-Day event!
