How can they regain confidence after failing an exam? The workshop will provide an opportunity to reflect on the role of personal attitudes and beliefs in university life, exploring practical strategies for overcoming obstacles and maintaining motivation over time.At the heart of the event is the opportunity to develop a more mindful and effective approach to studying, recognising personal strengths and learning to see difficulties as challenges to overcome rather than as judgments of one's abilities. It will also be an opportunity to reflect on individual progress and rediscover the motivation needed to move forward, one step at a time.The event is open to all University of Insubria students and forms part of the activities of ReStart – Coaching Team Insubria. Alongside its thematic workshops, the project also offers free, confidential individual coaching sessions to help students maintain motivation, clarify their goals and navigate decisions throughout their university journey.
