On January 11, 2020, I had the opportunity to work with the student leadership team at St. Clair College in Windsor Ontario.
MISSION AND VISION
The goal was to strengthen the bonds between team members and harness the power of their mission for the 12,500 students on campus.

We talked about the many ways challenges can be transformed into opportunities.
And how pressure can be used in a positive way to motivate us to the next level of our lives.
CHALLENGE is the first “C” in the “Stress to Strength” model from my Thriving Under Pressure TEDx Talk. Photo below.
Psychology of Leadership
In the video from the leadership workshop I give an overview of the ABC Model of Cognitive Psychology and the Flow Model of Optimal Performance.
We also discussed why resilience is not so much about what happened, but our thoughts about what happened.

Turning it around to point out the positives of pressure is… Awesome! As are you 😊
Thanks Christy! Redirecting students to see the positive parts of pressure, including being in the flow, reignites their motivation and gives them a sense of control. 📖💎
Truly masterful leadership is so rare. Teach on, Andrea!
Thank you so much Mitch! Your encouragement means the world to me.
