‘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

Builds Success upon Success upon Success...
In highly-interactive small-group sessions, Cream of the Crop Leaders’ youth empowerment program participants repeatedly practice physical, verbal, non-verbal and relational confidence indicators.
Our teaching methods are highly interactive, and create muscle memory for cumulative, lifelong benefits.
Learning through Doing is our instructional credo. Highly-focused instruction is given only briefly (10%) followed immediately by active application (90%). This means that participants are up, engaged, and actively internalizing their newfound confidence.
Teaching tools and techniques, all designed to keep our participants actively engaged, include: Dyad exercises (working with one other person), Video Feedback (film and group review of how one presents themselves), small group exploration, multimedia presentations, instructor feedback, giving and receiving of peer feedback, large group sharing and discussion, and real-world application exercises. Active engagement works! Cream of the Crop Leaders utilizes these and other highly-successful teaching methods to build muscle memory and develop new brain-neural pathways (see research), setting the stage for a lifetime of proactive responses to avoidance and adversity.
Profound, lasting change occurs readily in a safe atmosphere. Our Lead Instructors’ instructional and coaching styles – honed after years of facilitating professional and transformational trainings – cultivate warmth, connection, laughter, a few tears and, above all, authenticity. Mutual-support and zero-tolerance for nonconstructive criticism (including self criticism) are promoted. Soon, even the most nervous of participants will likely enjoy learning.
Confidence affects everything.

Difference between the 3-Day and 2-Day Outstanding Youth empowerment program
- 3-Day: The 3-Day training is highly recommended. Most people who’ve attended a 2-Day Program later remark that they wish they had attended the 3-Day version due to their excitement with the training and their desire to further solidify their new found confidence.
- 2-Day: Though very valuable, the 2-Day program has less video feedback and fewer solo exercises (both valuable for reinforcing new learning). Also, segment lengths inevitably vary depending on the number of participants and the individual needs of each group. Therefore, the 2-day program may or may not include sections such as: Developing Engaged Rapport with Anyone and Thinking Habits of Top Performers Parts II- III.
Boys and Young Men:
Many young men want to take charge, and testosterone supports these natural leadership tendencies. Yet, males are also subject to confidence-eroding societal messages. Advertisements that reflect society’s definition of “masculinity” focus on abnormally muscular bodies and stoic facial expressions. 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.
Therefore, few boys are aligned with their authentic inner power. Without this, they lean toward 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
Girls and Young Women:
Our world benefits from strong females. Yet, when females manifest leadership traits, we tend to punish them for it. They walk a tightrope between likability and respect. Check out this fantastic video that illustrates the fine lines that constrict females.
Criticized as “conceited” if confident and “bossy” if leader-like, mixed societal messages leave our young women holding back their natural confidence (at best) and developing maladaptive behaviors such as:
- Eating Disorders: 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
Let’s get our young women and men pointed in the right direction! Outstanding Youth self esteem programs for youth empower young people to express their unique gifts and benevolent power – while connecting with others – for their good and the betterment of our world.
