Tips from the HSC CoWorks Blog
Output Matters: Why You Can’t Just ‘Show Up’
It’s easy to confuse just showing up with making progress because you showed up so something must be happening, that’s better than not being here right?
Yes showing up is better than not even showing up at all… but barely.
Michael Jordan and the HSC CoWorks Key Behaviours
22 years after Jordan won his last NBA championship he has maintained universal relevance due to the qualities he displayed as an athlete on the basketball court which we can all relate to as being the same qualities to achieve success on the court of life.
Measured Performance: An Indicator of Future Success
The Measured Performance (‘MP’) is our index for tracking student progress and output at HSC CoWorks.
