Why Does Self-directed, Heart-centered, Connected Learning Matter?Have you ever struggled with learning? Or been unsure how to support your child-tween, teen, or young adult-struggling with their learning? Have you felt pressured into thinking that learning is only: For grades, school, college, jobs, or to prove your worth? Determined by a degree with just one path to success? An anxiety-ridden and cutthroat race to the top with few winners? It's not true! You are born to learn. Whether you are a parent, teacher, or just trying to figure out your own path, you've got this! You can choose to harness the power of our networked brain, body, and heart systems to support learning that matters for life. Even better, to enjoy learning all life long for yourself, your kids, and your communities. Join me in the LifeSPARKS Land of Learning. Use hands-on, tested processes and tools as you change your approach to learning and teaching. Book 1 in the LifeSPARKS Lifelong Learning Series, Harness the Power and Joy of Learning for Your Life, helps you ASK the biggest, overarching questions about your beliefs and understanding of learning. It explains why self-directed heart-centered, connected learning works along with LifeSPARKS learning principles, mindsets, and habits to unleash learning for your life. Let's use self-directed and heart-centered learning to connect with ourselves and our children as we learn to: Cultivate sparks of learning and joy while planting seeds of success. Know and show our true selves, and help others become their true selves. Confidently ask hard questions, try new things, and do what matters. Welcome. Let's learn together.
