Never before ... have we been so inadequately prepared to live capable lives. It is time that our society as a whole begins encouraging the best in us. For too long, we have been addicted to mediocrity, materialism, and an unhealthy individualism. Circumstances now demand that we encourage and work to develop...THE BEST GENERATION!
Imagine a generation of individuals that is capable of making a difference among its friends and peer groups...in its schools, communities, and world. A generation that is aware of the issues and prepared to take action. These programs have been designed to discuss and explore the possibilities of this "best generation" . . .
If we are to empower our colleagues, employees, children and ourselves to be capable, we must learn how to see the best in ourselves and in others. Creating the Best Generation is an overview presentation that discusses how to empower ourselves and others. We will discuss leadership, self-esteem, peer pressure and how to find strength from adversity. Leadership and self-esteem have been confused with an unhealthy, self-centered individualism. In this program we learn that true leadership does not demand followers but instead, demands that we create more leaders. While listening to Becoming the Best Generation, participants discover that their own self-esteem must be cultivated first and only then can they, in a contagious way, spread a positive esteem to others in their company, community, state, and country!CREATING THE BEST GENERATION
