I’ll randomly assign you to breakout rooms
Discuss: Why is this memory meaningful?

40. A conversation
With Personal Partners
First A coaches B, then B coaches A
Today make it a “two-way” conversation
Starting next week, in-class can be “one-way”
If so, you’re committing to meet outside of class
41. A conversation
I’ll give a 1-minute warning before halfway
At the halfway point, switch (B coaches A)
Watch for the 60-second countdown
Then I’ll see you back here
47. Goals
When do goals get in the way?
Focus on failure feeling of threat
Learning matters more than execution
Diminished enjoyment & intrinsic motivation
59. Outside of class
With Professional Partners
Again, A coaches B, then B coaches A
How might I use goals more effectively?
How does my mindset affect my grittiness?
Or whatever topics are most relevant to you

Self-coaching
Our mental models of ourselves matter
An ongoing dialogue is essential
Coaching, journaling, reflection
