The Pendo Academy worksheets have helped me in so many ways, they help me take a step back and actually think about my goals, habits, and how I respond to challenges that may arise. With being a college student, balancing classes, assignments and personal responsibilities everything can become so overwhelming.

I appreciated the focus on breaking those larger goals into something smaller, and more manageable. The worksheets helped me be able to recognize distractions, organize my thoughts and think in a different mindset that will help in being focused and motivated.

I love and will always encourage myself to take the time out of my week to do the problem-solving exercises that come with each worksheet. They help me think differently, and consider solutions and actions I could take during difficult times.

I value the lessons on resilience and personal responsibility because these skills are useful throughout college and in my future career. I would highly recommend this course to other students who want to better understand themselves and develop practical habits for reaching their goals.

Lastly I recommend this course because it helps you grow a new and different mindset, gets you to think outside the box and builds yourself to be the best version of you.

The Pendo Academy Complete Series is an extraordinarily versatile educational framework that bridges classrooms, athletic training, and daily life. Some of the core principles addressed in the workbooks include resilience, self-discipline, compassion, and creativity. Each lesson in the workbook details one concept and includes space for students to reflect and respond in writing. The concepts are explained in detail and are easily comprehended. Each lesson also includes a drawing to illustrate the concept being discussed.

As a public school educator, I find the structured lessons and self-reflection exercises invaluable for guiding students through Social-Emotional Learning and character education. In this day and age, SEL and character education are essential for developing the next generation and guiding them to a positive, meaningful life.

While this program was developed with martial arts instruction in mind, the course would be helpful for teachers and coaches of any sport, activity, or subject to get the best out of their pupils. What makes the workbooks particularly effective is their ability to reach various learning styles.

By combining the concepts with comics, the workbooks engage visual learners, allowing them to grasp, internalize, and apply vital ideas like optimism, resilience, and purpose. I highly recommend the Pendo Academy Complete Series for anyone working toward a goal for themselves or for their students.

The worksheets provided a multitude of benefits for me. Each one aided me in working through an aspect of my life that I hadn’t pulled to the forefront for myself. They left me a space in which I could reflect on my own life, actions, and the ways in which I interacted with the others around me. The worksheets also served as an exercise in writing away from the judgement of others.

At first, in responding to the worksheet prompts, I would often write in a way that I thought would be pleasing for others to read. It left my reflections feeling disingenuous. Over time, with the continued encouragement from the worksheets, I was able to start moving away from that and begin reflecting and writing in a way that spoke truer to my actual thoughts.

In providing a space to self-reflect, the worksheets allowed me to work through a number of problems across my day to day life. They allowed me to place issues that were occurring in the limelight and work through them from a number of different angles.

Overall, the worksheets serve as an excellent means of looking at life through a new lens. They help to provide perspective in areas of a persons’ day to day that they might not have considered on their own. Each worksheet serves as an opportunity to improve and change.

They do not tell you how to be a better person or how to fix all of your problems at once. Rather, they work as scaffolds that help you improve in your own way and guide you to evolve as a person, whatever that may look like for you.
