Personal Empowerment

SPEAK For Life’s Youth Personal Empowerment programmes aim to develop youths into happy individuals, responsible citizens, effective communicators, capable leaders, and strong team players. They will be empowered not only for academic breakthroughs in school, but also for success in their future career and life.

Our programmes are conducted using a combination of highly-engaging training and coaching methodologies to deliver a complementary mix of enriching and practical contents. We seek to light up the hearts of youths, empower their minds, and ignite their passion for life such that they will walk away from our session feeling hopeful and joyful. As such, Personal Empowerment Trainers at SPEAK For Life have researched and designed a series of Personal Empowerment programmes with the following benefits in mind:

• Open minds to new possibilities and discoveries
• Inspire a mindset shift toward positive values, beliefs, and life
• Empower a behavioral shift towards taking accountability for one's results
• Empower one's psychology to achieve breakthroughs and desirable outcomes
• Discover more about oneself and one's vision, purpose, and potential
• Appreciating the experiences, lessons, and challenges in one's journey
• Develop joyful relationships with the significant people in one's life

To date, we have trained and coached thousands of youths at over 20 schools in Singapore. Students from primary schools, secondary schools, junior colleges and tertiary institutions have benefitted from the following Personal Empowerment programmes:

Calibrating Your Life Success Compass

Moving through different terrains on various adventures, an explorer or trekker analyzes, deduces and makes decisions on which direction to move towards based on his compass. In the event of adverse conditions, his compass is instrumental in determining if he and his teammates could make it out safe and alive. In moving through life, each one of us carries a compass too, and this is called our Life Compass. This Life Compass consists of our beliefs, values, experiences, attitudes, mindset and skills set; and they determine to a very significant extent the routes that we take, the choices that we make and the outcome of our choices and actions.

Emotions Mastery for Youths

In the 1990s, Psychologist and author Daniel Goleman brought the world to an awareness of a new quotient that is important for success in life – Emotions Quotient (EQ) or Emotional Intelligence. Since then, EQ and how to handle emotions for better results in personal, academic and professional lives have been advocated to millions around the world. This topics focus on helping youths to understand and manage their emotions in the dealings with the challenges of life, their families, their teachers and their peers.

Communication Magic for Youths

How do you say what you want to say and have the other person understand it? How do you use your voice for more effective communication? How do you disagree with others in an agreeable way?

The essence to all these answers are found right here! Youths will learn communication strategies used by corporate professionals yet apply in their academic and personal settings for desired communication results.

Being A People’s Person for Youths

Why is it that some people just seemed so popular? Why do some individuals attract people around them like bees flying to honey? Why do some leaders enjoy strong support from the masses while others don’t? Why are some people just so charismatic? What is the secret to being a people’s person and being a charismatic person that everyone gravitates towards? Leadership guru and author John C. Maxwell says that the secret to being a people’s person is to be more interested in the other person. How can youths apply this secret to be a people’s person among their peers? How can student leaders enjoy better support from the student population? Here’s the answer.

The Secret to Your Personal Power

The mother who has no hands, the young successful entrepreneur without limbs, the musician who cannot hear, the politician who is paralysed, the best-selling author who was rejected by 131 publishers, the humanitarian who dedicated her life to people, the man whose small step on moon equals a huge step for mankind, the multi-billionaire who dropped out of a top university etc……. How did they do what they did? What was their secret? What helped them to continue despite rejections, obstacles, and numerous setbacks? By understanding and internalizing this secret, youths will be empowered to create the results that they want in all areas of life.

Stress Management for Youths

Like an adult, a youth takes on many roles – child, student, CCA member, CCA leader, tutee etc. At times, stress can build up to an unmanageable level for him, especially during term tests and semester examinations. Therefore, knowing how to and being able to manage stress is crucial for youths to help them perform their multiple roles effectively and live a free and joyful life. In this 1-hour talk, youths will gain a better understanding about stress and learn relaxing techniques for easy application as and well needed.

Climbing Your Own Everest

Picture this metaphor: There are millions of peaks on Earth, and everyone has his own mountain to climb, his own peak to reach. Every mountain requires its mountaineer to use a unique set of skills and tools. Each mountaineer has to walk a journey to collect his set of tools and skills, and this journey could sometimes be very different from the rest. This topic focuses in helping youths gain the awareness of appreciating their individual journey which could sometimes be more challenging than that of their peers, and empowering them to “scale” their own mountain; not just following their peers blindly or trying to climb their peers’ mountains and not knowing that their peaks could be much higher.

When You Do Not Achieve Your Goals

Despite putting in lots of time, effort, sweat and even tears, some youths may find that they still cannot achieve their personal and academic goals. Seeing their peers achieving their goals and doing well in studies, youths may find themselves facing feelings of hopelessness, despair, meaninglessness, loss of self-esteem, and even devastation in extreme cases. This topic focuses on empowering youths to deal with failures, setbacks and disappointments. When you do not achieve your goals, what does it mean? What do you do? What can you do?

These Personal Empowerment programmes could be customised to suit your school’s requirements and resources.
