What inspires each of us is as unique as the way we learn. We all have our natural strengths and weaknesses, and process information differently. When we become aware of an approach to learning that embraces our nuance of character, we can tailor our growth appropriately and help others develop in ways that are most suitable for them. Both learning and teaching then become creative acts. No one knows this better than Josh Waitzkin.
Join Waitzkin, an eight time national chess champion, martial arts world champion, and author of The Art of Learning, as he shares with us principles of learning and performance that fuel creative, resilient growth and achievement. Through discussion and experiential exercises, we learn to deepen introspective sensitivity, break down our own false constructs, explore the thematic interconnectedness of our diverse pursuits, tap into our natural talents, and discover a highly individualized approach to the pursuit of excellence.
“In both educational and professional lives, we are often forced into molds which ignore our uniqueness of being,” Waitzkin says. Discovering a creative, internal solution to this dilemma is at the core of his perspective on the learning process.
Educators, parents, therapists, and those interested in the process behind performance learn how to experience and instill a passion for the road to mastery.
