Rethinking Learning: Exploring the Diverse Ways Our Minds Work

“I’m a terrible test taker!” “I’m no good at math.” “I’m just not school smart.” “School was not for me.” These are things so many of us say in response to our learning journey within traditional schooling that taught us there was only one right way to be a “good student”. What if you were smart all along? In reality, there are infinite ways to grow your wisdom and understanding of the world around you. In this episode, Nikki discusses the process of unlearning limiting beliefs around your capacity and capability to learn new things or achieve in the face of past “failures.” From the example of NBA champion J.R. Smith’s recent docuseries to a recent New York Times article about businesses using personality tests to hire new employees, have a listen to explore your unique learning style.  For show notes and more info, visit nikkiinnocent.com/podcast
