HS Student Workshops - 10 Personality Traits Needed To Earn A College Or University Diploma
Workshop - 10 Traits Needed For College. Recommended for 9th-12th grade (Fresh - Sen), but before graduation so that the student has time to develop the skills. Covers all 10 soft skills (teamwork, self-advocacy, resourcefulness, critical thinking, communication, stress management/resiliency, accountability, self-discipline, goal setting, self awareness) and several subcategories such as assertiveness training, time management, and learning strengths and weaknesses (and how to turn weaknesses into strengths!). The workshop also covers 15 related tips for college and follow up recommendations to grow the skills covered. A great workshop to get going on the soft skills needed for college!
