The Institute’s Value And Differentiation

Our Value

The Institute’s workshops are:

  • Memorable
  • Exciting
  • Powerful
  • Impactful

Why is this important? It is important for two reasons. First, the knowledge gained will stay with the audience longer (hopefully for life), and second, the knowledge and skills learned will make a difference in one’s life right away.

Surveys and studies have shown that students that don’t know or have the following skills do NOT perform well in school and in life:

  • Attitude (incl. Body Language)
  • Presentations skills
  • Self-Confidence
  • Time Management
  • Organization
  • Concentration (Intense Focus)
  • Memory / Retention
  • Study Skills
  • Problem Solving
  • Independence
  • Anxiety and Stress Management
  • Note Taking
  • Test Taking Skills
  • Goal Setting
  • Prioritizing
  • Resourcefulness

Most schools do not directly teach these skills to their students. They are inferred and expected, rather than outright taught as personal strategic assets. These skills augment the skills learned in school and make learning more fun. It is true that Students Learn More When Learning Is More Fun!

  • HEI’s clients can choose from the menu of workshops which ones they want to offer to their students, the order and even the duration of each workshop.
  • HEI recommends that each workshop is at least 1.5 hours long in order to encourage discussion. It appears that our students relish the subjects offered to them and want to ask many questions. We enjoy answering their questions because it means they are internalizing the messages and pay attention to the instructors.
  • Each workshop can be expanded up to 4.0 hours in order to provide in-class mentoring and more in-depth discussion. We would rather turn our workshops into mini seminars and mini-camps. That’s when students get the maximum value out of the workshops.
  • Some of the workshops pertain to high school students while others pertain to middle school and elementary school students. Please ask us for our detailed brochure that outlines which workshops are designed for what audience. Please email us at: info@heiamerica.org
  • The host school or institution provides the facilities and equipment (computers/laptops, LCD projector and screen).
  • Handouts are available upon request.

Our Differentiation

The breadth and depth of topics that we offer.

We have one of the richest libraries of holistic education-related workshops, and our library increases on a regular basis. The Institute currently has:

150 Workshops

Our Strength

We can develop and deliver custom workshops that fit a school’s or a group’s needs and wants in a very short notice. We have the high caliber personnel to deliver exciting workshops and seminars whenever and wherever you need them!

All our workshops are PowerPoint presentations, exercises, “spiced up” with other multimedia. It is a fact that students learn more when they see (on top of hearing) the messages and key points. The absorption and retention rates are higher.

Holistic Education by definition encourages very interactive sessions. It is the interaction that builds better and stronger students.
