Young people are asking for, and sometimes demanding, leadership roles in new and innovative ways. But they rarely have the skills to apply “leadership moments” when it matters most. In this workshop designed for educators and young people, Rosalind Wiseman shares how students can bring dignity into their understanding of leadership and learn effective strategies to manage groups, inspire, and listen to others.
Topics covered:
Creating a Culture of Dignity With Young People
As young people navigate a constantly changing educational environment, we know one thing is certain: Supportive relationships and social skills are critical to their emotional well-being. But these skills are not “soft skills.” They are essential for kids to engage in their education and support their emotional and mental health. From their friendships, anxiety, social media, conflicts with friends and family, and the constant pressure to “keep up,” this presentation will share insights and strategies to best connect—especially when they need us most.
Topics covered:
Having Brave, Life-Changing Conversations
How can we have honest conversations about topics that silence most of us or in which only a few people dominate? How do we create and sustain an inclusive community where people feel a sense of belonging? How do we know when to advocate for each other or receive feedback when our intentions don’t match our impact?
We live in a time where it can feel too hard, and too frightening for some of us to step into these moments and make a difference. This presentation shows you how.
Topics covered:
We can be the people we aspire to be and have the relationships we want in our families, places of work, and communities. We can define and hold ourselves to high expectations and care for our emotional capacity and mental health.
Join Rosalind Wiseman as she shows us how to embrace the power of dignity to build courage, connection, and community. In this inspiring presentation filled with (un)common sense and humor, Rosalind shares her powerful insights to develop a principled life. With this path to keep our thoughts and actions on course, we maintain a sense of purpose, meaning, and capacity no matter what comes our way.
Topics covered:
Adolescents have always needed friends and meaningful social lives. Both are essential to young people’s mental and emotional health now and as they develop into adults. But with this generation, who must integrate the experience of COVID into their social development, the social road is often filled with challenges.
Meanwhile, the worry of falling behind and keeping up academically is real. The consequence is often confusion and anxiety about how to support young people as they navigate their social lives, develop academic resilience, and maintain their mental health.
