Power of Moments
This is a professional development session based on “The Power of Moments” by Chip and Dan Heath. It focuses on helping participants become authors of richer life experiences and creating extraordinary moments for students in their postsecondary education and career planning. The session explores the elements of defining moments, such as elevation, pride, insight and connection. The goal is to connect adults with students, help them plan their educational and career paths, and make these experiences engaging and memorable. Participants will gain insights into the importance of moments and learn how to create meaningful connections with students, recognize their efforts and enhance their overall experiences.
