Program Abstract 
If the  students in your program move out of one emotional crisis and into 
another, or  begin your program with great gusto and then drop out, or 
forget information  they just learned last week─ then you are experiencing first 
hand the impact  that emotions have on learning.  In  Part I of this 2-part 
Internet-based seminar Dr. Weisel will explain the  neurological 
underpinnings of emotions. Then in Part II she will explain  specific techniques to 
help your students get beyond their emotional crisis.   

Part I, The Neurological Underpinnings  of Emotions, will  offer an 
understanding of how and why emotions are brain functions that are core  and key to 
learning, why childhood negative educational experiences continue to  
impact adult learning, and how ignored emotional issues can impact  learning.   

In Part II, Techniques to Address  Emotional Issues of Adult Learners, 
participants will learn how to  implement specific techniques to immediately 
help learners struggling with  crisis situations and old baggage get beyond 
their current emotional situation  and get back on track toward achieving their 
stated learning and employment  goals!  

Presenter: Dr Laura Weisel, Executive Partner  and the Clinical Director of 
The TLP Group.  Dr. Weisel holds a Ph.D.  in Educational Policy and 
Leadership focusing on learning, adult learning, neuro  and cognitive psychology, a
