Jasleen Bijral, one of our talented MLPs in the North and Midlands region, has been receiving rave reviews for her delivery of the Goal Mapping Programme and the 6S Study Skills System.
Following a brilliant day delivering 6S Study Skills to Y12 at William Hulme Grammar School in Manchester, the Head of Sixth Form, Nigel Veevers, wrote:

"The students were engaged throughout as Jasleen went out of her way to interact with the students.  By explaining her own experiences Jasleen was able to help build the students' confidence and belief in themselves.  The Study Skills presentation should prove invaluable."

Jasleen was delighted with how well the day had gone and energised by the experience. “I feel amazing,” she reported afterwards. “It’s such a buzz knowing you have made a difference.”

Her delivery of the Goal Mapping Programme was just as effective, prompting the organiser at that school to write a glowing testimonial, attesting to the impact and impression made by the course and Jasleen’s superb interaction with the students.

“We challenged Positively MAD to take a group of our underachieving Year 12 students who were struggling to adapt to the demands of A Level, and equip them with the skills and desire to set goals for themselves. Through ‘Goal Mapping’ we hoped students would find the motivation to begin taking responsibility for their learning. We were not disappointed.

The presentation was lively, entertaining and the students were engaged throughout. The presenter, Jasleen, set the material at just the right level and related to each of the students. Her variety of teaching methods as well as plenty of personal anecdotes kept the students on task. Her management of the material, timing and the class was excellent – ever thought about teaching!

All 18 students responded positively to the session and all believe the experience had made them think about their own goal setting and why they allow opportunities to pass them by. Each left the session with their own goal map which we were able to explore together at a later date.

The session was very positive and has certainly contributed to the self empowerment of many in the group. I have no hesitation in recommending the course and we will certainly be looking to utilise Jasleen in the school again.”

Positively MAD would like to express our thanks to Jasleen for her superb efforts and her ability to make students feel more confidence in themselves and their abilities. Keep up the brilliant work, and thanks for being an inspiration to others.
