Teaching Perfectionists and Superstars
Mike and Derrick are joined in this episode by our friend Rusty Gray. Our conversation is about recognizing your high achiever and your perfectionist and digs in to how we can best help them reach their potential while teaching them how to be the healthiest version of themselves. And we talk about how to keep all the students engaged without focusing too much on either end of talent pool in your group.
