COACHING SERIES

NEW YEAR'S CHOCOLATE BRIDGES OF HOPE

Having hope is that bridge until we get to the other side. As we set intentions for the new year, we must act (strategies), and not just sit in hope. Smashing negative thoughts, knowing our strengths, using humor, having emotional self-control, and a growth mindset are just some of the techniques we will learn. Envisioning a better outcome for the year can be very motivating for kids. To dramatize the concept of hope, we will engineer a Hershey’s decked out Truss or Suspension chocolate candy bridge while we learn about the world’s most decadent bridges. Kids will experience a hurricane dramatization that will blow through the room to be sure their bridge is structurally sound! Participants may take their edible creation home or eat it on the spot! This workshop is truly the perfect blend of S.T.E.M. meets Life Coaching! Age: 6-13 years Location: Community Room 2A Instructor: Lisa Lombardi Coaching Inc. Min/Max: 5/10

CONFIDENCE THROUGH COMEDY

Today is April Fool’s Day! Let’s move towards the end of the school year with loads of laughter. Whether your child is naturally funny or not, they will have the opportunity to develop and execute comedic skills, gain a higher sense of confidence with stacked successes, and perhaps learn to use humor in a social setting. Humor really can make the world a better place! Through close observation and lab experimentation, this high-energy comedy class will offer electrifying lessons on humor such as: Impersonations, prank humor, slapstick, comic strips, improv, character voices, ventriloquism, and witty situational. They will also understand when comedy is taken TOO far in life. What is a heckler? What is a laugh track? What is microphone technique and comic timing? And more humor discoveries and secrets! In a world immersed in technology where everyone is looking down at a phone or tablet, children could benefit from a healthy dose of interaction and comedy! All kids leave with a humor themed souvenir. Age: 6-13 years Location: Community Room 2A Instructor: Lisa Lombardi Coaching Inc. Min/Max: 9/9
