How high trust propels schools and educators to greater success
The Teacher's Trust Advantage video introduction
Study after study shows that for students, teachers and schools to maximize their achievement and growth potential, the most essential ingredient is trust.
​
To succeed, education professionals must recognize the causes of low trust which often originate as illusions produced by the subconscious brain. These mental distortions, shortcuts, and cognitive biases can be enormous barriers to trust.
In this entertaining program, Steve illustrates techniques magicians use to build and leverage trust with their audience, and shows how the same methods can build trust in our own work and lives.
He also demonstrates how magicians fool the brain and how those same subconscious illusions can create barriers to trust.
The audience learns strategies for overcoming the subconscious distrust that keeps us from getting the most out of our professional and personal relationships.
