As education becomes more “frictionless”, students are often less challenged, leaving them to struggle when challenges arrive in education, especially at the college level. This discomfort, though, is a learning experience that helps stimulate cognitive flexibility.
In this podcast, Natalie Wilcox, Neuroimmunology PhD student at the University of Toronto, and Brandon Slade, Founder of Untapped Learning, discuss the strength that comes with cognitive flexibility, including stronger self-reflection and the ability to navigate high-stress situations with ease. Learn how you can use cognitive flexibility in your own work to stay ahead and adapt to any situation that comes your way.
At Untapped Learning, we help students find their stride by helping them get ahead of the curve by teaching them developmental skills to plan forward, rather than catching up. Teaching students long-term independence and success lets our students learn better and helps the parents focus on being there for their children.
