OUTCOMES
NEXT GEN Leaders' Youth Leadership Programs
The NEXT GEN Leaders’ youth development programs are based on our top-rated adult confidence workshops, yet are customized for young adults and teens; ages 14 – 20 (some age exceptions can be made).
OUTCOMES reported by participants with ongoing practice:
- Forever knowledge of which behaviors increase perceptions of confidence, and which detract from a confident presentation.
- Increased feelings of confidence when interacting with individuals and presenting in front of groups.
- Tool box with 12 simple yet powerful tools to present oneself in the best possible light.
- Improved ability to get buy-in from key decision makers such as supervisors, college and high-school professionals, and more.
- Relief of knowing how to anchor into one’s authentic confidence even in moments of fear, pressure or circumstance.
- Consideration for selection for special opportunities by presenting as the cream of the crop.
- Present more authentically: Participants in these special youth development program workshops report that use of our confidence tools helps them relax into their authentic presence; nothing feels better.
- Show up as a NEXT GEN Leader: Our world needs powerful teens and young adults.
Will this workshop create unwavering, heroic feelings of confidence for the rest of my life and guarantee success or special opportunities? No. After all, the human condition includes a wide variety of feelings. Periods of anxiety, self-doubt and wavering confidence happen to all of us, even confident, well-adjusted, uber-successful adults. This workshop simply offers 12 tools that help most people anchor into themselves while in the presence of others so that it’s more likely they’ll radiate confidence, even while nervous. For most participants – and with continued practice – using the tools to radiate confidence gets easier. Yet, this workshop will NOT fix low self esteem. It does not offer psychological tools or mental health treatment of any kind and it isn’t facilitated by mental health providers. And, since each participant has a unique background, there are no guaranteed outcomes.

METHODS
Unique Youth Leadership Program Methods
90% interactive. Learn by Doing™ is our instructional credo.
Methods: Each participant practices 12 simple tools to radiate confidence – despite fear or circumstance in these ways:
- Solo Practice – Each participant receives ample personalized feedback.
- Pair Practice (pairs rotate) – This creates close connections.
- Facilitator Feedback.
- Peer Feedback – We teach a balanced feedback method.
- Video Feedback (select workshops)
Healthy risk-taking is key to transformation. After all, if we’re in our comfort zone, we’re not learning.
In a safe and supportive atmosphere, participants take risks through practicing our trademark tools to anchor into their authentic power and to radiate a confident presence.

For Your Established Group (for single seats read this)
Recommendation: Because we’re a small company committed to transformational outcomes, we provide our services thoughtfully. Therefore, our availability is limited. If interested, we recommend getting on our calendar soon; we’ll try to ‘soft hold’ your tentative dates. Contact us: We’ll screen share our course models, answer questions and learn about your vision for a transformational youth development program.
- Ages 14 – 20; some age exceptions can be made; more via this FAQ.
- Genders: Mixed or one-gender groups; more about genders, same FAQ.
- Combo Workshops comprised of adults + teens/young adults: Exciting workshop combinations include (1) adult leaders from youth based organizations combined with teen/young adult staff members and (2) parents + their teen/young adult children. In these cases, all participants are equally active and practice the same tools. For more about Combo Workshops, see the same FAQ.
- Observers are discouraged as this detracts from participants’ willingness to take risks practicing the tools. Therefore, adults may obtain a seat, role-model healthy risk-taking, and enjoy active participation.

Youth Leadership Programs
Confidence opens doors. The tools taught in this youth development program can open doors in personal, social, academic and early-career situations.
Research Suggests that a sense of power:
- Lead us to approach rather than avoid challenges – and approaching leads us to feel more confident, optimistic – and happier.
- Improves performance.
- Improves the part of our brain that makes decisions.
- Improves the ability to self-regulate (so important for today’s youth).
- Increases authentic feelings of power-confidence.
- Enhances creativity.
- Boosts authenticity.
See the research for yourself.
Are these workshops just for those without confidence?
The NEXT GEN Leaders’ youth leadership program is for everyone, including young adults and teens with:
- A fair level of confidence. Having decent self-esteem doesn’t necessarily translate into skills for radiating confidence. Sometimes we display behaviors that others perceive as insecurity which can lead us to become overlooked, stalled in our life goals and frustrated.
- A strong level of confidence: Many successful, accomplished people (including adults in our adult confidence workshop aka leadership presence trainings) report huge benefits from this workshop. Many adults say things such as, “I wish I had learned these tools earlier!”
- A low level of confidence: Some participants describe themselves as having low or zero confidence. That’s okay, too. You simply haven’t been taught the tools to anchor into yourself when you’re under pressure. You deserve to look and feel confident, and get respect; it’s your birthright.
These said, please note that while we teach tools to radiate confidence:
- This workshop will NOT fix low self esteem. It does NOT offer psychological tools or mental health treatment of any kind. It will NOT create heroic feelings or unwavering confidence. After all, the human condition includes a wide variety of feelings; moments of or periods of anxiety, self-doubt and wavering confidence happen to all of us.
- This workshop simply offers 12 tools that help most people anchor into themselves while in the presence of others to radiate confidence, even while feeling nervous. Most participants report that with continue practice, using the tools to radiate confidence gets easier.
“THE RULES FOR WORK ARE CHANGING. WE’RE BEING JUDGED BY A NEW YARDSTICK: Not just by how smart we are or by our training or expertise, but also by how well we handle ourselves and each other. This yardstick is increasingly applied in choosing who will be hired and who will not, who will be let go and who retained, who passed over and who promoted.”
– Daniel Goleman, Ph.D., Psychologist, author, and expert on social-emotional intelligence

Cultural Messages that Don't Help
Messages about Males
Many young men want to take charge and share authentically. Yet, males are subject to confidence-eroding societal messages. Advertisements that reflect society’s definition of “masculinity” focus on perfectly stoic facial expressions and tough personas. Maintaining this aura of impenetrability confuses young men, since it is in opposition to the natural human experience, creates stress, and prohibits the kind of connected, healthy relationships that are key to a successful, joyful and meaningful life.*
When young men and teenage boys* aren’t aligned with their natural confidence, they may rely on bravado/bluster and accompanying destructive behavior patterns, including*:
- Power over others rather than power within themselves
- Power without connection or vulnerability
- Gangs and bullying
- Drugs and substance abuse
- Anxiety and depression
*These are generalizations. Of course, each of these can also occur with teens and young adults who identify as female. While our youth leadership programs won’t fix these, they might help a bit.
Messages about Females
History shows that females are natural leaders. Studies show that some girls begin to lose their confidence in pre-teen years; when this happens, a girl moves away from demonstrating her natural strength and unapologetically demonstrating her leadership tendencies in favor of greater passivity and excessive concerns about her appearance. Holding back power can slow or prevent health, goal-oriented action that is essential for building a successful, joyful and meaningful life.*
Societal messages that criticize girls and young women* as “conceited” if confident or “bossy” if leader-like can result in girls and young women holding back their natural confidence and/or developing maladaptive behaviors such as*:
- Eating Disorders: Some studies show that 78% of girls under 17 are unhappy with their bodies
- Girl Bullying: Catty behavior and social exclusion
- Substance abuse
- Anxiety and Depression
- Habits of avoiding challenges
*These are generalizations, of course; each of these can also occur with teens and young adults who identify as male. While our youth leadership programs won’t fix these, they might help a bit.
