Youth Guide

For the past 20 years, I have worked directly with youth and empowered adult leaders to influence this next generation of youth. I personally have empowered thousands of youth and their leaders. One of the reasons I became part of the John Maxwell team was their emphasis on youth leadership. Not many leadership organizations focus on this next generation of young leaders. We offer all the same services to youth as well as adult leaders leading youth. That includes coaching, DISC profiles, workshops, lunch & learns, mastermind groups, seminars and keynote speaking. We also offer keynote speaking at Christian youth events and camps. I work with students with addictions and have trauma informed training and certification. Below are just a few things we offer!

Stand Up and Be Counted
Learn positive attitudes and actions that will help stop bullying and lift others up. This lesson teaches youth how to deal with bullying in a positive, affirming way:
- Stand Up – Be confident in your own value.
- Lift Up – Use your influence to help others.
- Pick Up – Help others who are being bullied by picking them up.

Develop a Positive Self-Image
Understand and apply key ways to develop and maintain a positive self-image.
Develop a Positive Self-Image teaches youth that we all are unique and have high value to others. With this in mind, we can build personal confidence and develop daily habits that will help youth maintain a positive self-image.

Developing Strong Personal Character
Learn what it takes to develop strong and effective personal character.
According to John Maxwell, character is the number one differentiator between shooting stars and people who obtain and maintain life-long success. His lesson Developing Personal Character teaches youth how to choose positive character based daily decisions that will help bring their actions and values in line and help them learn to achieve lasting personal success.


Learning to Fail Forward to Success
Learning to Fail Forward to Success
Learn powerful, proven ways to look at failure in a new way and use life’s failures to build success.
John Maxwell's lesson, Learning to Fail Forward to Success, teaches that failure is the foundation for all success. This lesson helps youth understand how to learn from failure, change, and grow toward success.
