LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN TEENS
Have you ever noticed how much teenagers lead on a daily basis? Whether they are navigating their way through middle and high school, joining student organizations or sports, organizing social activities, or negotiating with their parents for a later curfew, when it comes to being a teenager, leadership is a matter of life. The challenge is that teens don’t always get to express their natural leadership abilities, and those who do don’t always have good examples to follow so they can grow and develop.
Your students are struggling to discover their identity. Their self-worth is deeply rooted in their peers’ approval, and they desperately need guidance on finding their true selves and navigating this emotional and fragile time in their lives. Everyone wants them to find strong character within themselves and believe in their value so they can use their talents to serve and succeed.
However, teachers are so busy covering the curriculum for tests that they have little time to dedicate to this critical area of development. That’s why Sonya’s leadership development program is such a blessing for both the students and educators who hire her. She’ll help you feel good about the difference you’re making in their lives. Likewise, she’ll fill a void in the emotional and leadership education that teens crave and need to stay on the right course and fully develop their natural gifts.
