Our perceptions determine our reality! Have you ever wondered why people do the things they do? Do you ever ask, “Why can’t they just be normal … like me?” We see everything through a lens of both personality perspectives and environmental perspectives. We will discuss how to be aware of our own blind spots that might keep us from connecting with others. We will break down barriers to trust and how our own perceptions play a significant role in how we interact with others, including youth and families in education settings. When we realize that people don’t do things to you, they do things for themselves, we reduce anxiety and stress in our own life. By strengthening metacognition skills, you can also increase a person’s self-awareness, self-reliance, flexibility, and productivity, as well as reduce their anxiety and enhance their focus. Join us for this fun, interactive experience!
