ANIMA Program Topics (Positive Reinforcement)

The most skillful teachers and learners maintain a radical relationship to failure. And that means more than just seeing mistakes as iterations on the path to success (though that helps too). Learn the six types of so-called failure and gain practical tools to open up new levels of creative possibility.

Teaching with Acoustical Guidance (TAGteach) draws on cutting edge tools to cut teaching time in half and improve learner retention.

Develop practical skills through fun, hands-on training so you can:

• use fewer words for more efficient instruction
• deliver precise, timely feedback to maximize and solidify improvement
• reinforce the skills you intend to develop
• keep your learner focused and thirsty for more
• build loyalty and trust between teacher and learner
