What is Skills for Success?

'Skills for Success' is a program for young people (aged 11-17) run by an accredited Youth Coach designed to enhance motivation, performance, and promote goal-striving. 

 

Through this program, your young person will gain confidence in themselves, become motivated to be their best, and create a clear pathway for their future!

How It Works

Over 10 hours of facilitated coaching:

 

1) Life & Career Coaching - helps youth find the inner resources and tools to better manage themselves, arming them with the skills to find their own path through life, school, and career. They will learn about their personality types, complete a life wheel (looking at what areas are going well and what needs some attention), and create an action plan to achieve their goals.

2) My School Success - where young people take control of their learning success by evaluating what is going well in their studies, what could be improved, and learning strategies to take their performance to the next level. We will create a timetable and set goals and an action plan.

 

3) Leadership & Peer Coaching - here we assume that your teen is already a leader ready to create positive change where they see it necessary. They will learn how to lift up others, learn problem-solving and active-listening techniques to bring the best out of others, and be a peer coach and leader!

What Can Your Teen Expect To Gain From The Program?

Using the ‘Coaching Young People For Success’ program, which is based on ‘Positive Psychology’ and ‘Hope Theory’ evidence-based methodologies, ‘Skills for Success’ will help your young person to develop:

  • Self-awareness and confidence about who they are

  • Get a clear understanding of the path they want to follow

  • Create an action plan with goals on how to achieve it

  • Further develop their leadership knowledge and capabilities

Watch Katie and her mum Miranda talk about their experience with the program.

This program has changed my life in the sense that I now have an idea of what I want to do. I have gained knowledge and skills that will help me throughout my life

Before I did the program, I was unsure of which career I wanted to pursue but I know that I don’t want anything to do with mathematics or science but I wouldn’t mind I was a nurse. After doing the program I understand myself and my dreams better! This program has changed my life in the sense that I now have an idea of what I want to do. I have gained knowledge and skills that will help me throughout my life.

Overall I would say that the online version of this course was a big success for Katie and would highly recommend it to any teen.

13 year old Katie throughly enjoyed her Skill for Success coaching with Genevieve, after only the first session she felt empowered and excited. After the full course, she felt excited about the direction of her future and confident that she had the tools to identify and navigate the pathway to achieving her goals. Overall I would say that the online version of this course was a big success for Katie and would highly recommend it to any teen that is looking to explore their future and learn some tools to enable navigating a direct and manageable pathway to defining and achieving both their short term and long term life goals.

I feel a lot more confident & I understand myself better. I learnt that your world can be what you want it to.

Before I did the program, my biggest problem was dealing with my anger. After doing the program I feel a lot more confident and I understand myself better. I learnt that your world can be what you want it to. It will help you find out who you are & your career; what you want to do in life! I now have tools to manage my anger! I recommend it.

WHAT YOUNG PEOPLE SAY

"My 2 friends and I recently did a workshop with Gen, and it was really good. We did a whole bunch of activities, including a lot of goal setting, which made us really think about our future, and what we want to be when we are older. I recently got a job at McDonald's, and I would like to thank Gen for doing this workshop for us, as it helped me greatly."
