Teen Confidential - Next Gen American
In over 20 years of business, The Charleston School of Protocol has never seen so many requests to help the teens of today. This can be attributed to a rapidly changing world with its infinite number of available options and choices, coupled with two years of isolation due to the global pandemic.
This is evidenced by a new epidemic in America today, along than depression and anxiety and it is called “FTT” or “Failure-to-Thrive.” This is due in part to a lack of confidence found in young people today. Webster defines confidence as “The faith or belief that you are acting in a right, proper, or effective manner. The speed at which most of us live and the lack of understanding of how we learn or obtain confidence has created a vacuum in this area in the youth of America.
Teen Confidential is a program developed for teens preparing for success in life. It is not just how we do things, but more importantly the why. This understanding forms a foundation for transformational growth, which is life-changing.
The benefits realized from understanding the skills provided in this program are some of the greatest investments you can make in your teen. This investment will pay dividends for a lifetime.
Teen Confidential is a eight-week program. The program is conducted by professionalism coach Cindy Grosso. Teen Confidential will be conducted live in 2 hours sessions. Your investment in the eight-week program is $325.00 USD. For more information, please click the following link.
Bonus: Each student will get my book – Code of Distinction – Reflecting your Personal Brand with Excellence – PDF version. ($9.95 value)
