To successfully navigate in this new post-pandemic landscape requires embracing a new mindset. Students finding themselves trapped in generational poverty, many without the intellectual, social, or financial capital needed for success, often see their dream of successful college graduation die before it materializes. A change in attitude is essential for these students to create a different perspective toward themselves and their situation.

Steven LeMons, the creator of The Journey Workshop©, engages struggling and underprepared students with content that’s relevant, thought-provoking, and filled with practical techniques for approaching life. He instructs students on redirecting negative thinking and self-defeating habits. He provides easy-to-understand examples showing how they can turn their self-doubt into realistic and attainable goals. He addresses root causes, meets students at their points of need, and builds pathways that help students focus on their unique brand of excellence.

When students break free from the distractions of dream stealing unproductive habits and perhaps generational cycles of underachievement, they uncover a relentless and passionate desire for success they previously could not have imagined or realized.

 Outcomes:

• Provide usable real-world success principles that prepare, empower and inspire underprepared students for shedding self-defeating habits, entrenched myths, and mindsets that hinder performance.
• Explore techniques for helping students break free from negative attitudes, entanglements, and beliefs about themselves that destroy their confidence and form false narratives they embrace and eventually adopt as truth.
• Show how providing a ‘reason for success’ can stimulate critical thinking skills and how the importance of developing non-cognitive abilities supports a foundation for long-term success.
• Assist students in the art of goal setting and its importance to long-term achievement.
• Improves the quality of the education experience by meeting students at their various points of need and illuminating elements in their lives that could help generate positive solutions for addressing their specific condition.
• Help students find effective ways for building an appreciation for developing long-term mentor and instructor relationships.
