The New Face of Leadership - TWEENS!
We have all seen them in our neighbourhoods or classrooms; the children who must constantly negotiate to stay up late or extend a deadline; the children who disrupt class with jokes or comments that leave everyone distracted or the bossy playmate who insists on their way. These tendencies are not always behavioral issues, instead they can be indicators of leadership aptitude!
Our current system of development would see these kids go through their teen/young adult years without much significant direction and guidance on how to channel their natural leadership skills correctly. These kids will be influencers one way or another, identifying them early helps to ensure they are a positive influence. That's why KidLead is about to change everything!
The tween years (Age 10-13) represents an ideal window to teach sound leadership principles. Their cognitive skills have developed enough that they can grasp leadership concepts and principles while their moral compass can still be influenced towards ethical, compassionate leadership. At KidLead our goal is to identify and develop these young leaders by providing a sound strategy for developing their skills, attitudes, character and competency.
KidLead represents a new approach to developing leaders. Through active learning and Apprentice style challenges young leaders learn to lead through hands on experiences that explore 16 of the most sought after qualities of a leader. Trained Koaches provide Socratic questions to guide young leaders in critical thinking, problem solving and conflict resolution before, during and after the challenges helping them to personally develop as a leader.
KidLead is actively looking for organizations, schools, and community groups to partner with to bring this program to as many communities as possible. If you would like to learn more about this amazing program, or to book a “Developing your Child to Lead” information Seminar in your area be sure to contact us.
Developing young leaders is an investment in our present, and our future!
