COACHING

I show you how youth, teachers and citizens achieve to create inner and outer peace, joy and abundance – Paradise.

We come in like the Sun and the Rain and equip you with tools, tricks and partners – “seed packs” to create a Paradise Garden. Will you grow carrots, lettuce, wine or apricot orchards? It’s up to you to decide. Your options are bountiful. With me and the global YL worknet at your side, your options grow 100-fold. Guaranteed.

TRAINER & COACH

I have run sessions, workshops and week-long campuses for youth at and outside school, onsite and via video on 6 continents.

I have had a lot of 1-on-1 conversations with young adult changemakers, who experience them as strengthening, enlightening and empowering.

Be part & co-organize

The best week of my life.
Youth

European Youth Business Campus

These times are so horrible. I was hoping for an angel, and this angel came through you. I needed orientation on what’s going on, what’s is my role and what not. What you said totally resonates. I feel so relieved. I must say, your way of speaking is amazing. In plain words, enormous scope, the details, the truth, the empathy, and from the heart. You are a man of great intelligence. Thank you for spending your time with me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

PERSONAL COACHING

‘LIVE’ Coaching

Do you want to solve a local challenge, activate a school etc. and feel stuck, need tips, tools, or local support?

We can meet for an online video chat, casual over cookies and coffee between warriors. I like recording these conversations for sharing with others on The Planetary Guardian. Don’t be shy – that’s the kind of important conversations to have on talkshows and podiums!

YL Masterclass

Are you fired up to make Youth Leadership present in your school, town, region, medium or profession?

I can accompany you over 2-12 weeks with a mix of

  • basic guidance
  • open conversations, feedback
  • tailored to your region, assets, focus, emerging partners and opportunities

You may be one person, or a group of people.

ACTIVATE GROUPS : 
#BeMoreAwesome Crash Course

Do you wish to inform young people / school students on youth leadership, with an aim to kick off tangible actions aligned with their passions, form a changemaker student club, and support evolution of their activities? Also in collaboration of two and more schools, with local partners? 

The kick-off session (steps 1+2 of an 8 step process) lays the foundation.. it introduces the youth leadership phenomenon. It is a must for every teacher to use with their students! 

If time is limited to one 90-min session, inspired students can self-organize follow-up steps 3-8 with ever more action. Steps 1-8 are best taken within 2-8 weeks, with our without my presence onsite or via internet

 

 

You can also guide the course yourself

like YL Volunteers do, after training yourself with The Tutorial, or even better the Persoanal Crash Course for Adults. I can also join via video.

Project Week or Action Campus

I can guide fired up youth through steps 1-8.
U

Do you wish to address a critical issue

… like violence, harassment, food scarcety, bad governance, and achieve robust changes? We can tune the Crash Course to almost any focus causes that you and your students care for. View YL Masterclass and Activate Your City Campaign below.

ACTIVATE YOUR CITY! Campaign

Are you a city council (or similar), and wish to strongly nurture a culture of youth leadership in your region?

This campaign runs 2 or 3 phases of 2 weeks each.

1st a wave of LEVEL UP! Crash Courses at X schools
Steps1+2, then step 3 strategy workshop, concluding with a meet-up of inspired youth of all X schools, forming focus teams for causes, generating first media presence on the inspirational experience, instant actions and decisions.
2nd wave of LEVEL UP! Crash Courses at XY schools
with participation of 1st wave students. In parallel, focus teams will organize steps 4-5-6 actions at their schools, online, in public, activate adult allies and workplaces, and use occasions like UN Days, school and town fests, generating remarkable collective impact, public and media presence, new ideas and opportunities. We conclude with a meet-up of inspired 1st and 2nd wave students, and plan what’s next.
Phase 3 - self-organized follow-up actions
In Phase 3, student teams take their activities to the next level, and add ‘vivid positive news reporting’ to spread their message at schools, online, to newsletters, organizations, YL and news media. It concludes with a meet-up, personal reports to gain their official YL Badge.
Fired up youth are able to self-organize as high impact student clubs, and have access to the full scope of resources, partners and support in Change Generation RISING.

The results will be precious, or even spectacular

sending ripple effects through the community. Definitely, it will be the best thing about ‘youth empowerment’, ‘active citizenship’ and ‘positive news’ thing that ever happened in town, the region, potentially the country or continent. After all, so far we see nothing of the kind.

Take a gameful approach and show them

what good governance can do. Show off, have fun, score national media presence and awards – because you’ll deserve them. Awards and media presence and celebration wake people up, remember? When you do this stuff, you emerge as the city role model that your country needs! The stars are the youth, but you helped them appear and do fireworks. That’s precisely the role of adults.
