PROBLEM:

Youth in schools suffer from these key challenges & problems;

Youth lack of confidence!
Lack of intentional mentors in academic, career & life-skills preparation for success.
Need for clarity in academic & career success pathways
Lack of strategic preparation for admissions to top, world class universities e.g. Ivy League Schools
Few intentional & strategic leadership youth development programs
“Work Ready” skills for youth on graduation
Real entrepreneurship development in youth!

SOLUTION

Few programs specifically introduce these concepts to youth who therefore lack knowledge in identifying their gifts, abilities, talents, skills & passions. These help to best match the same with available, realistic career opportunities.

Most career decisions are usually made purely on academic grades & college placement, and often disappoint. This includes pure guess-work, peer, parental pressure & media exposure. Such totally ignoring basics of one's capacities, abilities, motivation for long term sustainable success and possible options.

Purely academic based examination systems are a poor measurement of a student’s retentive, analytical, moral and intelligences - from emotional, social, adversarial and other. Yet these are the culturally accepted standard used in eliminating students when in competition for limited academic based career opportunities. As a result, Life-skills needed to success are not instilled in time, one has to find out the hard way, through "the school of hard knocks".

Change is a given. An effective leader needs to anticipate, strategize for and enable self, organisations and community to proactively navigate change. And at best, LEAD the change.

Leadership is best rewarded by managing, pioneering & leading change. Our youth seminars introduce youth as potential future leaders to better understand, address, embrace, manage & lead change as a positive process in the pursuit of their lifetime vision, mission and goals.
