Personal Development and Leadership
Room:
212Description:
Learn how to grow.
Learn how to think for yourself.
Learn how to be the best you…. Or at least get a good start!
If you are looking for a stoic, library-hushed classroom setting to learn, this is not going to be the class for you. If instead you are seeking a spirited atmosphere to express (or learn to) your thoughts and ideas, here is a class for you!
I’m guessing by now you have heard someone say, “I read this book and it changed my life! I wish it had been a required reading in high school!!” This class was born from such a statement! You can expect readings from well-known authors and a heap of fun. It’s going to be a book-club-meets-leadership+personal-development kind of class. This class will offer you to step (or jump or dance) out of your comfort zone, build a foundation on which to become the best version of yourself.
We will be diving deep into a wide range of topics such as: Boundaries, Effective Habits, Affirmations, Scriptural Inspirations, Business Concepts and more! Your willingness to be open and vulnerable will determine how much you glean from these readings.
Parents: this class will allow your student to learn things that will be beneficial to them all their live-long days. Please note when we dive into boundaries your teen may attempt to set boundaries with you! Like anything new, it can be messy at first and much like a pendulum, have a bit of back-and-forth momentum. Please know this is normal and an anticipated aspect of gaining maturity and growth. The best thing YOU can offer your student is for you to grow in this area alongside them (if you have not already!). By reading along with us, the topics will not come as a surprise to you. But rest assured! Your teen will be supported and applauded in class and reminded to be thoughtful and respectful! (Eph. 6:2-3)
Book list will be provided.
