What makes a champion? Is it work ethic, talent or luck? Emeritus Professor Allan Snyder, Director of the Centre of Mind at the University of Sydney, Australia, and MindChamps Chair of Research, spent decades in search of an answer. He interviewed over 50 successful individuals, including athletes, business men and scientists, and he found that the key attribute common to all high achievers was a strong mindset, a champion mindset.
In essence, a champion mindset is characterised by a refusal to settle for mediocrity, the courage to challenge conventional wisdom, and the conviction that adversity—even failure—is an essential component of success.
MindSpace enrichment centre incorporates the 3-Mind approach, a method developed in collaboration with Professor Snyder and other award-winning experts in the fields of Education, Psychology, Neuroscience, and Theatre, to help children acquire a champion mindset. In this article, we’ll share a peek behind how MindSpace Enrichment Centre nurtures champion mindsets.
The 3-Mind Approach
At its core, the 3-Mind Approach comprises three distinct elements: the Champion Mind, the Learning Mind, and the Creative Mind. When used together, they can help children achieve their full potential.
The Champion Mind
Whether it’s politically, environmentally, socially, economically or technologically, the world is changing at a fast pace, and the ability to adapt and thrive is a crucial determinant for success.
The Champion Mind aspect of the 3-Mind approach fosters resilience and self awareness by encouraging children to recognise their unique qualities and learn from mistakes and adversity with determination.
Each educator at MindSpace, regardless of prior experience, undergoes specialised training and accreditation to impart the unique MindChamps curriculum, providing expert advice and reinforcement of positive values during enrichment activities.
The Learning Mind and the Creative Mind
In an era marked by rapid change, traditional learning methods are no longer sufficient and may even contribute to negative mindsets about learning.
This is why at MindSpace we focus on teaching students how to learn through our proprietary learning methods such as the Optimal Flow Method™, and the Art of Learning.
These methods, developed through extensive research, are introduced to students, empowering them to understand, store, recall and synthesise information and concepts effectively.
By integrating these learning techniques with the concepts taught at school, your children will build a strong foundation for learning, vital in an ever-changing landscape.
Final Thoughts
As technology advances, and societies and economies evolve, MindSpace, through the 3-Mind approach, aims to equip children with the right mindsets to adapt and thrive in whatever challenges they may face. Book a centre visit at any of our centres to experience the MindSpace difference firsthand.
