What makes this Grumpy Professor so, well, grumpy? Number one on my list is definitely when I see really good kids making really bad choices, especially when it comes to university...

Don't get me wrong, in many instances, it's not their fault. They're kids and they're not supposed to know many of the life-lessons that have been dealt to us. Actually, as nature intends, they look to us for guidance. Consequently they end up selecting a path based upon some (mostly) well-intentioned but genuinely (and unfortunately) not-so-good advice -- and the worst part is that many of these decisions will have long-lasting, if not lifetime ramifications. That's why I give this 2-hour workshop - to help kids find their best fit for university success.

Find Your Best Fit

Just a few of the topics:

We'll spend about 45 minutes talking about the Top 5 (out of about 30) factors to consider, then I'll spend about 15 minutes guiding them through a self-scored worksheet, and finally, we'll stick around afterward for as long as they have questions. Some of the things we'll discuss:

  • What are the best predictors of university success?

  • How can you improve your chances for success?

  • What are the different types of universities?

  • How do you learn best?

  • What do you do when you just don't know?
