Inner Winner
£330About this course
Determination is a key attribute sought after by companies and recruiters worldwide. Determination is closely associated with resilience: the ability to bounce back from setbacks, rather than giving up. Determination is sometimes referred to as drive: the determination to get things done, to make things happen and to constantly look for ways to improve. This workshop will help your students develop a powerful internal drive and become an ‘Inner Winner’.
Rationale
Confidence, knowledge and competence are interrelated concepts and are key to the success for students in their academic and professional careers. Students with the lack of any of these may face various challenges in achieving their intended outcomes. If confidence means having a strong, positive belief in something, then self-efficacy is about having a strong, positive belief in your capability and competence to plan and perform actions to attain a specific outcome (Bandura, 1997). In the context of academic success, self-efficacy is how much students believe they can succeed in completing tasks and achieving academic outcomes. Research has found that self-efficacy correlates with academic performance (Ferla, Valcke, & Cai, 2009; Richardson, Abraham, & Bond, 2012), demonstrating that students who are high in academic self-efficacy participate more readily, work harder, persist longer and achieve higher academic results (Schunk & Pajares, 2002).
Students who have confidence in their abilities, takes risks and work hard to achieve their goals.

Objectives
- To empower students with personal coaching strategies.
- To identify intrinsic and extrinsic motivators.
- To recognise that all people experience nervousness.
- To understand that feelings and thoughts can be changed.
- To build confidence in their own potential.
Skills taught and their Benefits
Identifying intrinsic and extrinsic motivators can help students to realise what drives and influences their actions. From this point, they can challenge those motivations and re-align them for greater self-belief and self-efficacy.
Managing Internal Dialogue is the ability to tune in to the voice inside your head and use it to build confidence, rather than deplete it. The ability to have an internal dialogue is thought to develop during childhood in what’s called ‘private speech.’ As children acquire language skills, they learn to engage in internal commentary as they work independently or take turns during an activity. Through learning specific strategies, students can learn how to shift to a less critical inner voice and develop higher levels of confidence, motivation and resilience.
Anchoring Triggers are typically associated with internal or external stimulus which is conditioned to be associated with a specific emotional and thought response and can be accessed quickly. The triggers which we focus on are Visual (Mental Imagery), Auditory (Mantra) and Physical (Power Move).
Reflecting on positive, past experiences in which we made progress and felt good about ourselves encourages us to develop the belief that we can achieve the goal in front of us. If we did that, then we can do this!
Outcomes
By the end of the workshop, your students will have:
- Understood and identified personal coaching strategies they feel empowered to use.
- Identified their personal intrinsic and extrinsic motivators.
- Understood that all people experience nervousness.
- Gained an understanding of and a confidence in managing their internal dialogue.
- Gained confidence in their own abilities and potential.
Findings show a 20% increase in students that reported an improvement in their confidence to succeed.

Note to parents
The strategies within this course are designed to help your child plan, structure and conduct their revision in the most effective manner.
It is important to note that each child has individual strengths and preferences and will therefore benefit from a tailored and personalised approach to revision. There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ magic rabbit foot for passing exams. There are, however, a range of techniques that have been proven to assist in increasing focused attention, understanding and recall. We encourage students to experiment with a variety of these techniques so they might develop an approach that works for them. A good time for trying out different revision methods is in the lead up to the mock exams. Help them to analyse which techniques work for them, so that when they are revising for their main exams – they know how to revise in a confident and effective manner.
Discuss revision with your child and encourage them to discuss it with their friends and siblings. Encourage your child to attend any additional revision sessions organised by the school; these will be focused on the key topics that will come up in the exam. Your child will also get the feeling that they’re not alone in this; all their friends are going through it too. Attend any parents’ evenings put on by the school. It’s useful to be reminded of things you might not have thought of or forgotten. Also, it’s a great time to hear from other parents and how they’re all experiencing similar issues or challenges.
We wish you all the best in supporting your child through the intensive and often stressful time leading up to exams. The act of you reading this text, infers that you have your child’s best interests in mind. I’m sure they will benefit massively from your help, support and encouragement.
Best,
