For teens & pre-teens
Your Potential…the inspiration behind the workshop
Parents putting on pressure?
Are your parents are putting on the pressure?
As one teen put it, “Mom, Dad. It’s like this. Being a kid is fun. Being an adult is work. I wanna have fun.”
What if there is more?! That’s what we’ll discover.
Take Leadership of Your Life
Be the person employers want
Do you know? YOU can make YOUR life meaningful, exciting, and fun. And the best way is to start now.
In this workshop, we help you identify the skills that help you have choices in life and to launch your plan to get those choices.
What you get:
- Tools to get your parents off your back (to help them have confidence in you)
- Hope for the future and for YOUR future
- Steps to grow into the person you want to be
Starts with Pizza … Learning through Games
Our workshop begins with pizza and introductions.
We do some brainstorming together as we eat (with our fingers).
We’ll play poker…betting with skills. You choose one or two life skills you want to win this year.
We’ll create a Parent-Trust-Me-&-Give-Me-Space Plan.
Your Take-Away
- A Positive Vision for YOUR Future
- YOUR Plan to develop one or two key life skills of your choice
- A plan to build parents’ trust and give you space
- A way to check throughout the year that you are one target with your goal
What will you tell my parents?
Our goal is for BOTH you AND your parents to grow. YES.
Growth benefits from some key ingredients:
Trust
You can trust that what you share will be honored and respected.
Your parents can trust that their children are receiving wise and positive encouragement.
Some information does get shared with parents:
- the agenda,
- the topics of discussion
Some information remains private: who says what. (****Vitally IMPORTANT****)
Some information you may choose to share (we will discuss this as a group):
- skills you discovered employers seek in their new hires
- your strengths
- your goals
Insights
We’ll be playing games (a revisited Pokemon Go, an adapted Poker) and engaging in activities where you will discover different views about life, yourself, and even your parents.
Your parents also grow through a refreshed perspective. I invite all moms and dads who want to know more about the process, the philosophy, and the science-based psychology behind our activites to attend the workshop the week before. (Click here to find out about future workshops)

Is There More?
I’m interested in you. It would be a delight to know how you are doing with your plan. Your choice. My (and hopefully yours too) pleasure.
