Types of Smart
Ep. 109
Talking to me about her son, a parent recently told me this:
"He’s smart in terms of subject knowledge, but I think he could improve in working smarter and being smart about his study."
I see this situation a lot and thought it might be interesting - and hopefully helpful - to talk a bit about the word 'smart'. Being smart, feeling smart.
Because - what does ‘smart’ really mean?
Does it mean clever in a knowledge type way - knowing lots of facts? Like, ‘wow’ they’re so smart. As in so knowledgeable about a subject or topic.
Or does it mean smart in terms of being very practical?
Or smart with people and dealing with situations?
Or able to problem solve or be strategic - being able to see the most efficient or effective way to do something?
Or maybe there’s a better word for all of this than 'smart'?

Smart Decisions Under Time Pressure
Ep. 111
It's when we're under time pressure that we're most likely to fall back into old habits.
But not this student!
In this episode I share a real life skilled and strategic student case study where they INTENTIONALLY left out the introduction of their extended response in an exam, didn’t get time to go back and write it, and what that meant for their result.
Listen in to this episode, because it may NOT be what you think!
