Dealing with failure Dealing with Criticism Dealing with Peer Pressure
Dealing with failure Dealing with failure: The cases of suicides and depression amongst youngsters have been increasing as they are unable to cope up with the expectations of the current system around them. This is an alarming situation. It is critical for youngsters to understand the importance of failures as stepping stones to success in life.
Dealing with criticism: Today, youth is becoming more and more defensive to criticism that comes from their teachers, parents or from people around them. Most of the times, they either go into a depression or they fight back with aggression.
Thus it is very important for youth to learn how to deal with criticism and convert it into positive influence for their lives.
Dealing with Criticism
Dealing with peer pressure: Youth is always influenced by their peer group. Peer pressure is one of the main sources for youth getting into bad habits like smoking, drinking alcohol or taking drugs and at times even leading to crimes. Thus it is very important for youngsters to learn how to deal with peer pressure and convert it into positive influence for their lives.
The Need Areas Goal Setting Time management Practicing Initiative & Leadership
GOAL SETTING Goal setting in life: Most of the youngsters these days are caught up in some or the other rat race with confusion with regards to what they want to do in their life. What type of education to pursue, what career to chose, what kind of job is to be taken up etc. are the questions that plague many young minds. It’s important to form a thought process which helps youth set goals in their lives.
Time Management
Time management: While youngsters these days are juggling a lot of different things in their lives these days at a very early age, most of them get lost in the process of getting their priorities right and managing time well. This causes a lot of problems and we have seen that even though students have been doing well in their school education they lose out on opportunities of competitive exams or pursuing a different path in field of sports, art etc. Thus proper management of time is critical for their success in life.
Practicing Initiative & Leadership Practicing Initiative & Leadership: We can see that majority of the youngsters are hesitant in taking initiative and leadership roles. Through our innovative techniques and fear removal mechanism we will ensure that taking initiatives and leadership roles comes naturally to them.
The Life Outside Case Study Methodology
GD/Interview preparation Public Speaking
Case Study Methodology Case study methodology: During school education we have seen that students learn that for every problem there is one solution but it is very important for them to learn that in real life there are various perspectives to a problem; they will have various choices for any decision and that they need to chose the right one that creates a win-win situation. The case study methodology will be used to give them an exposure of the situations they may come across and decisions that they will need to make.
GD/Interview Preparation GD/Interview preparation: After school, there are various graduation program that conduct GD/Interview process as selection criteria. For a student, who has never been exposed to this process, it is very difficult to do well in this selection criteria. Thus the students need proper exposure and training for group discussions and interviews.
Public Speaking Pubic Speaking: One of the biggest human fear. It has been commonly observed that only a few students are effective public speakers in their school days. Beyond school life, public speaking becomes very important for youngsters and many times it is one of the differentiating factors between success and failure whether it is selection procedures or job promotions.
