Area9 Lyceum is partnering with educator Esther Wojcicki, author of the best-selling How to Raise Successful People, to develop learning modules based on Wojcicki's "TRICK" principles of Trust, Respect, Independence, Collaboration, and Kindness.

The first module on "Kindness" will be offered for free

The Kindness Module: Adaptive Learning Course from How to Raise Successful People with TRICK by Esther Wojcicki and Area9 Lyceum

The Kindness module, which was developed on the Area9 Rhapsode™ adaptive learning platform, addresses a core component of corporate culture: genuine compassion and caring for others. Such behaviors must be modeled by leaders and reflected in the interactions of colleagues at all levels of an organization.

 

Subsequent TRICK learning modules to be launched on the Area9 site are:

  • Trust: the foundation of an effective environment
  • Respect: promoting autonomy and individuality
  • Independence: encouraging innovation and creativity
  • Collaboration: a crucial 21st century skill that is key to how work gets done
