Many smart students struggle in school because no one ever taught them the actual skills of learning.

In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I’m sharing highlights from a larger free parent training I created. You’ll hear why “study harder” is bad advice, why motivation isn’t the magic fix we think it is, and what students really need to thrive in school and beyond.

Parents, this one’s especially for you, but students, if you’re listening, you’ll benefit too.

(The full training has slides and visuals, so I highly recommend you grab that here.)

What You'll Learn:

• Why studying more or harder won’t work without the right strategies in place
• How motivation is the output of skill building, not the input
• Why “learning styles” are a myth, and what matters instead
• The core academic and executive function skills every student needs but schools don’t teach
• Practical starting points for task management, time management, note-taking, annotation, studying, and organization
