Youth and young adult services

Speaking and working with schools and youth/young adult groups is a "soul service" component of my business (I give service in this way and it pleases my soul).

Our youth need support managing the expectations on them, assistance learning how to build inner fortitude and resilience to show up and face all that they do, and guidance on how to do this authentically so that their goals and aspirations are aligned with who they really are.

I dedicate a certain amount of my time to this very necessary and very special work for discounted rates. I create customized workshops, lecture sessions and virtual options for your group based on your/their needs.

Scroll down to to see the range of topics that I tailor to youth groups of various ages and to access my booking form.

You Have All that You Need to Succeed

We'll explore how to access our internal assets like creativity, imagination, intuition, reasoning and will power, and how these aspects of us are always available to us and always serving us if we learn to pay attention.

We'll then look at how these aspects of us can be accessed and honed for our benefit to support our authentic success.

unleash the power of goal setting

Goal setting, and the steps that follow to act on our goals, is an art. So is "failing".

We'll look at why we should set goals, how to set goals, and what to do with our goals once we've set them to maximize our success. We'll also look at failure - fear of failure and ways to reframe failure to promote resilience.

managing fear and self-doubt so you can shine

Fear distorts the truth about who we are and what we are capable of. Many of us are living with fear and it shows up in our lives as excessive worry, self-doubt, anxiety, isolation, hopelessness, anger, and rumination. Fear hides in the background of our lives and it is all around us. It alters our sense of self and our sense of safety enough to limit our progress.

We'll look at why we have fear and what to do with it so we can shift our perspective and take bold, brave action in our lives.

Breathing

Aaahhhhh, breathing. It seems like the simplest thing. We rarely even think about it. It happens all on its own and we take it for granted. Unfortunately, most of us are not breathing correctly, or effectively, and this affects our sense of wellbeing and our physical health.

How we breathe is how we feel and how we feel is how we breathe. We'll look at the science of breathing, how to optimize our breathing and effective breathing techniques that can support us physically, mentally and emotionally.

Be clear why you're here

With all of the messaging in the world, and all of the pressure we feel, it's difficult to feel connected with our purpose and reason for being here.

We'll look at how to unveil the aspects of us that we want to express in this life and how weaving these aspects of us into our everyday lives leads to joy, fulfillment and success.

release the brakes

When we carry limiting beliefs about ourselves and what is possible for us, it holds us back. It's akin to trying to move our car forward with its emergency brake on.

We'll look at strategies on how to disengage from limiting beliefs and to engage instead with practices that support our motivation and our will to succeed on our own terms.

Go within, get ahead

We live in an overly distracting world and it disconnects us from our ability to clear our minds, to focus, and to find flow state - all of which are necessary for us to problem solve, create, innovate and be productive.

We'll dig in on how cultivating a relationship with ourselves using various practices like quiet contemplation, creative expression, formal and informal meditation and mindfulness, can reconnect us with our internal assets that support us in reaching our goals so we can thrive in the world today.

using daily visualizations and affirmations to excel

Our subconscious mind stores up to 10 million times more content than our conscious minds and it influences how we think, how we feel and what we pay attention to.

We actually think in pictures and our minds don't know the difference between a real or an imagined event. We'll look at the science behind why daily affirmations and visualizations actually work and how practicing them daily can support our success.

YOUTH Workshop TOPICS

Workshops are customized to the needs and age-group of the participants and run from 2-4 hours in length. They are more experiential in nature than the speech in-services and are designed using an adult learning format that targets attitudes, skills and abilities. The primary objective is to impart knowledge that is transformational in nature so that new attitudes can be adopted. The second and third objective are to work to develop the participants in a way that leaves them empowered to take action by imparting skills and building their abilities. This is done by introducing opportunities to interact and engage with the knowledge provided in these sessions as well as practice techniques learned in the workshops. Visual, auditory and kinaesthetic exercises combined with practical skills training leave the participants with a good understanding of the material as well as new skills to utilize outside of the session in their own lives.

Breath Work and Breath Coaching

We'll look at the science of breathing; why carbon dioxide levels are so important for total body health and how breathing affects our nervous system. We'll then learn a few breathing practices to support wellness and to help manage our performance.

What is Mindfulness and How to be Mindful

The word "mindfulness" gets thrown around a lot and it can be really hard to relate to without a proper introduction. We'll look at what mindfulness is, why it supports success in every domain of our lives and then learn a few mindful practices to use daily.

The Top 10 Principles for Success

Success happens when we take a series of small steps deliberately, with intention and with a direction in mind. We'll talk about the top 10 Canfield principles for success and how to get them working in your life.

Enhanced Productivity and Effective Time Management

When we have a lot on our plates we can end up in states of overwhelm that can work against us. In this workshop we'll look at some tried-tested-and-true ways we to improve our time management and enhance our productivity.

Transforming Your Inner Critic

Many of us have learned to be critical of ourselves. A harsh inner critic is common amongst people in this day and age and it can be very destructive. In this workshop we'll explore the various ways many of us live with a harsh inner critic, how this impacts us and some effective strategies for turning our inner critic into our inner coach.

Feel the Fear and Take Action Anyway

Fear shows up in our lives in many different ways. Many of us are living with the kinds of fears that keep us from reaching our full potential. We'll look at what we can learn from our fears and how our fears have hidden meanings worth exploring. We'll then look at a few ways we can manage our fears so we can take bold brave action - even when we are afraid.

Judgement Be Gone

We judge ourselves and others incessantly. We carry historical belief systems that distort our perceptions and lock us into patterns that disempower us and the people we judge. We'll learn a process for becoming aware of our judging and some gentle ways we can judge less and empower more.

Know Your Worth and Shine

Our level of self esteem is closely tied to our level of engagement with our lives. Our level of engagement with our lives is closely tied to our levels of success. Everything in our lives is affected by the way we see ourselves and our level of self worth. In this workshop we'll uncover a few of the ways an unhealthy self esteem can impact our lives and how to turn this around with practices that help to build a healthy self esteem.
