Teens Today Need Extra Help
Stuck in a virtual environment for over two years of their young lives, Gen Zs lack confidence in their communication and problem-solving skills. Many articles report that Gen Zs also lack the soft skills companies look for in their employees.
This program is for your teen if you want them to:
have the communication skills to navigate their relationships more effectively.
have coping strategies to deal with anxiety and stress, such as problem-solving and decision-making.
know what their strengths are and how to utilize them to combat imposter syndrome.
learn how to have a courageous conversation. (You want a promotion? You have to ask for it!)
learn the soft skills that will allow them to thrive and give them an edge professionally and personally.
learn these skills from a trusted source.

The Opportunity is Here and Now
Our Summer ‘24 accelerated series takes place this July, each Sunday via Zoom.
In each 2-hour workshop, learning is enhanced with interactive breakout rooms where participants put new skills into practice and discuss what they’ve learned with each other. Practicing a skill makes it a habit, and doing this together fosters intimacy and trust between them, bringing learning to life in a vivid and memorable way.
Each student starts by taking the renowned CliftonStrengths Assessment, identifying individual strengths. They learn to use their strengths to gain confidence. From there, we delve into communication, critical thinking and decision making - all skills necessary for a productive and rewarding future.
Prepare Your Teen for a
Productive & Rewarding Future
Workshops
#1 Transforming Natural Talents into Strengths
This workshop uses the world renown Gallup CliftonStrengths tool and allows each participant to discover their unique strengths and learn how to leverage them as well as understand and value other’s strengths. Participants will learn to name, claim, and aim their strengths to achieve their full potential. Knowing one’s strengths leads to confidence, productivity, engagement, resilience, hope, and direction for their future.
#2 Confidence and Overcoming Imposter Syndrome
This workshop allows each participant to build a confidence ‘bank account’ into which they can make deposits (of successes) and from which they can make withdrawals (of perceived failures). It explains how our confidence is made up of our mindset, our inner voice, and our behaviors. Participants will learn how to work on one or all of these aspects to improve their overall confidence and overcome impostor syndrome.
#3 Communication Skills, including Courageous Conversations and Giving and Receiving Feedback
One of the hardest areas for any age, and especially for students of this generation, is communication. This workshop is focused on the most important skills for effective communication, centered around active listening and empathy. These skills are the building blocks to give and receive feedback. This workshop also provides a practical structure to help participants navigate difficult conversations, so they can have the necessary conversations.
#4 Critical Thinking And Decision Making
This workshop teaches participants how to make decisions through critical thinking and creative problem-solving, using a whole-brain method that fosters creativity and logic. Participants learn processes to assess issues individually and as a group. Also encouraged is a “kitchen table” approach, where the participants learn to surround themselves with people who care about them and help them make the best decisions.
What do teens say about the workshops?
“I loved the small group discussions where we brainstormed and worked on issues together. The Zig Zag method helped me stop dwelling and deal with stress. I use the tools I learned pretty much every day.”
“Sharing my Strengths report with my parents was a great experience. They told me some great stories about when they saw my strengths.”
What do parents say about the workshops?
“I am thrilled that (my daughter) had the opportunity to take part in the Future Professionals Academy. She has benefitted in many ways, for example, she now feels more adaptable and calm amongst her peers, particularly those that she has previously found challenging to be around. Certainly the fact that she felt understood and safe during the workshops with Rhonda and Toni meant that she was able to fully open up and take on board new ways of viewing her own experiences and behaviours, as well as those of others. I wholeheartedly recommend this program series to other young people, ultimately it allows them to see their strengths and weaknesses more clearly while also honing invaluable social awareness, all within a supportive and kind environment.”
