(Ep. 84) Ned Johnson: Struggle towards success
IN EPISODE 84:
Whether it's how kids fare at school or the way adults perform at work, we've developed a disabling attitude towards achievement.
Too much grooming, not enough patience and an unhealthy outlook on the value of struggling have gotten in the way of progress. It turns out that if you want to build emotionally strong, determined and ambitious adults, the best thing to do is get out of the way. This episode is a must-listen for parents, coaches and anyone who wants to raise a successful adult - or help employees become their most successful selves.
ABOUT NED JOHNSON:
Ned Johnson is an author, speaker, and the founder of PrepMatters, an educational company providing academic tutoring, educational planning and standardized test prep.
A professional “tutor-geek” since 1993, Ned has spent more than 40,000 one-on-one hours helping students conquer an alphabet of standardized tests and honing his insights on communicating with students and parents. A battle-tested veteran in the fields of test preparation, anxiety management, and student performance, Ned coaches kids how to manage their stress while simultaneously motivating and empowering them to reach their full potential.
Ned has written for the New York Times, The Telegraph, U.S. News & World Report & The Washington Post and co-authored three books, including the national best-seller The Self-Driven Child.
