Do you remember being a teenager? Sometimes when I reflect on that period of my life it feels like yesterday. Without going into the details of a very interesting time in my life... lets just stay many of my choices were not calculated. The past two weeks Dr Zayd (Traveling from the US) contributed to the development of around 50 teenagers of Satyam employees.
Global Rising Stars is a 4 day/ three night experiential workshop that equips and empowers young people to live purpose driven lives. All participants learn how to:
1. Develop self-leadership
2. Expand attitudes and habits for success
3. Overcome fear and procrastination
4. Turn solutions into action
5. Enhance self-motivation and positive self-image
6. Improve time management
Dr. Z has been successful working with youth in America for many years and I was curious how his program would be receivedd in a different country with a very contrasting culture. I facilitate learning with adults around the world and every region of the world, I must shift my style in order to besuccessful. Believe me, I have gone into other countries using anAmerican style of teaching/facilitation and failed miserably...We learn from what is most painful and I adapted quickly by seeking 1st to understand then trying to be understood. This shift in style, with the kids was not necessary. The saying boys will be boy's or kids will be kids comes to mind. Dr Z's course was a huge success and the cultural difference was not an issue with the teenagers.
I love spending time with young and old people. Either theydon't know or they don't care. Which allows them to be open and free creating a platform to explore and express.
Helping pave a path in a world that is becoming increasingly complex and confusing for youth is a worthy endeavor... Feel free to contact Dr. Zayd (dtsys.com) about youth programs in your community.
