programs title

leader

 

 

Understand the essentials.  Leadership is a skill that can be learned, and in this session participants learn the different types of leaders and what it takes to be an effective leader in today's culture.

The Motivated Coach Model is today's ideal model of leadership - rather than be an authoritarian who makes decisions and dictates orders, today's leader finds out what people want and empowers that, keeping them motivated to reach their goals.

 

organized

 

 

Before you can manage people, you have to be able to manage things.  This module offers insight into organizing the particles around you, so you know exactly where everything is and how to get there. 

 

fiese

 

 

Only 7% of communication exists in the words that you say. The other 93% comes from your body language (55%) and your tone of voice (38%).

This session identifies these and other critical components of presentations and public speaking, and then defines strategies and techniques for maximizing your effectiveness in front of a crowd. Covered in this session:

 

fiese career planning

 

 

If you ask a student what they want to be when they grow up, many of them are pretty good at dreaming big. But if you ask them how they plan to get there, most won't have any idea.

This session offers students practical advice for finding the right job, including resume, cover letter, and interview skills.

Included in this session:

 

fiese goals

 

 

People who are successful in life are those who define what they want and then go after it. In this module, students develop a mission statement and then start "planting the seeds" of their "Commitment Tree"

We start by brainstorming ideas for what they want in life, or what would have them be fulfilled, then we explore why that particular idea inspires them. Then we look at definitions of success, and we create short-term and long-term goals that fulfill their greater commitment for their lives.

 

fiese block traing

 

 

The key to successful leadership is motivating others and yourself. Students go through 30 different activities in a fun, interactive team environment, solving problems and experiencing the training together.

In this session we define the motivation hygiene theory (producing satisfaction and avoiding dissatisfaction), the "I Am Principle" (creating a positive attitude to produce positive results) and others, and practice putting these techniques to work.

 

financial fitness

 

 

Poor money management can be one of the biggest obstacles to long-term success, so here we focus on what it takes to be financially responsible, without sacrificing the lifestyle Generation Next has grown to expect.

Students learn:

One of the keys to lifelong effectiveness and productivity is making the best use of your time. This session offers practical time management tools and techniques, so that kids can better manage their time, get organized and produce results.

 

personality profile fiese

 

 

People communicate differently, think differently, and are motivated by different things, and understanding that is key to effective leadership.  This session identifies the different personality profiles, so students can speak their peers' languages, and not just their own:

 

fiese

 

 

The secret to happiness is to find something you love to do, and then figure out how to get paid for it. The Entrepreneurship workshop teaches how easy it is to start a business and immediately begin making money. 

 

branding

 

 

What does your image say about you? What could you change about your appearance that would have it tell the story you want to tell?

Before you ever open your mouth, a job interviewer is making decisions based on clothes, body language, and hair style. While some kids already focus on their image - perhaps a little too much - this session's primary focus is dressing for success and projecting a positive, influential image.

 

officer fiese

 

 

Students often find themselves in leadership roles, only to discover they have no idea what they're supposed to do once they get there. This session teaches them the ins and outs of being an officer or a leader in their community and out in the world.

 

nalb

 

 

"Motivation via intimidation" no longer works. Generation Next needs coaches and mentors, and advisors should be the ultimate resource for these kids. Effective advisers must act as innovative thinkers, savvy goal-setters, expert communicators, risk-takers, mentors, coaches and counselors.

 

etiquitte

 

 

Adults often complain that kids today don't have any manners, but given the chance - and the proper training - they are eager to please. The Etiquette session goes into great detail on the rules and guidelines for formal, professional, and public appearance:

 

 

 

Robert's Rules of Order may seem antiquated at first, but when you've been in a large, poorly run meeting, you quickly learn its value. This session teaches students to conduct efficient and effective meetings, a skill that will prove to be valuable throughout their lifetimes.

 

 

 

This insightful and shocking program shatters the myths surrounding teen violence and drug abuse with a straightforward, thought provoking, and realistic look at the dangers and consequences of gang involvement.  We encourage the "good" kids to become a part of the solution and teach people how to resolve conflicts without violence.
