The 5-Step Blueprint for Future Leaders
Are you a parent, teacher or school principal who knows book smart teenagers who could use more confidence or social grace?
Do you worry how they'll compete in university admissions interviews -- and the real world -- when you ask yourself:
- Why can't they make eye contact when I'm talking to them?
- Do they have to slouch all the time?
- I wish they'd speak up. I can barely hear what they're saying.
- When I ask a question, can they please answer instead of ignoring me?
- Why are they still eating like slobs?
- What's that smell? When was the last time they showered?
If you're looking for a program that develops teenagers into Young Leaders of Tomorrow who are confident, visible and respected for their emotional intelligence and social savvy, then we can help.
Through Keynote Speaking and Group Training, Bernice Lee increases teenagers' personal effectiveness by aligning their behaviors with your school's brand, enhancing their job readiness, and enabling them to build rapport and trust with peers, faculty and future work colleagues.
When applied correctly and consistently, these "soft skills" positively impact their personal relationships and career prospects.
ELI's training programs are engaging and memorable half-day and full-day sessions that can be tailored to your unique needs.

Most teens only wear their school uniform or athletic wear. Nonetheless, it's useful to know how to "dress up" when the occasion requires.
- Importance of making powerful and lasting impressions
