Self-Leadership
Leading others first starts with leading self. We begin with an exploration of how these theoretical concepts translate into the lives of each youth. This begins with identifying personal values and goals to establish firm leadership principles that anchor students in their developmental journeys.
Peer Leadership
With a firm anchor and a compass to lead, students then familiarise with expressing outward leadership. This is done through experiential application that elicit behaviours, and facilitated peer learning. This allows them to personalise and define each of the five behaviours and create actionable steps to improve in targeted areas.
Public Leadership
“Many SME owners can relate that running a business isn’t easy. Besides taking care of operations, cash flow, and looking out for new opportunities, we still need to look after our teams – ensuring that they are motivated and productive. That’s A LOT of work! Thanks to the wonderful trainers at Lifeskills, we’re on to a great start to building a strong culture. No regrets attending the course. In fact, if you’re looking to scale your team, this course is a MUST-GO, else you may be making a grave mistake!”
“Dear Ian and Lee Fong, Thank you very much for sharing your expertise and facilitating 2 great workshops that have no doubt enhanced the collaboration between the team. It has taught us to embrace our differences and in fact, showed how differences are important so that we are more well balanced and well rounded as a team. Unity in diversity. Looking forward to stronger teamwork and looking forward to when our paths will cross again. With deep and sincere gratitude”
