Welcome to The Real World of Subliminal Training
It’s either by subliminal messaging or by “osmosis” that students or trainees learn on their own; there, it makes sense that we should tap into that impulse in the classroom if we can. Some of us are doing it already. Those are the teachers or trainers who seem to be so in sync with theRead… Read more »
