Don't Force It: How to Get into College without Losing Yourself in the Process

Jay Bacrania: Skills for High School Success


Listen Later

Today, I welcome Jay Bacrania, CEO and co-founder of Signet Education, onto the podcast. Jay’s passion is enabling and supporting personal growth - in himself, his colleagues, and his students. We discuss the foundations of Signet’s academic coaching program, through which we help students develop and pursue an inspiring vision for their lives. Our Five Keys framework can support a wide variety of learners, from students with executive function deficits and learning differences to high performing students who want to reach a new level of reflection and growth. Tune in for a deep dive on vision, mindset, and the power for reflection in helping students achieve their academic goals.

Jay's Bio:

Jay is the CEO of Signet Education. He has taken a broad academic path that encompasses both the sciences and the humanities. Jay is values-driven in his approach to both tutoring and running Signet. He believes that education and career are twin pillars vital to building a meaningful life. Jay continually experiments with how best to promote deeper learning and personal growth for himself, his staff, and the students who work with Signet. When he’s not at the office, Jay can be found at his home in Somerville, finding new and better ways to make a cup of coffee and spending time with his family.
