Make A Difference

Let’s make a difference this February.

This seminar is for Teenagers as well as Parents and Carers

At GoKids, we believe that every child should have the right to strive for excellence.  As part of GoKids ongoing support of our community, we would like to run a seminar specially for teenagers who are from a disadvantaged group in the community.

Why are we doing this? We would like to provide an opportunity and avenue for all teenagers to learn the skills to channel their energies constructively into the things that matter most to their success. Let’s help them to find PURPOSE in life, and FOCUS and MOTIVATION in what they do.

Topics to be discussed on the day

1. Mind Set – Goal Setting and Self Esteem – Ms. Kristen Hansen 1.00pm – 2.00pm
   Know Your Brain, Achieve Your Dreams
   • The Growth Mindset
   • Goal Setting – how to and why to.
   • Imagaination in action
   • Attention to your thinking
   • Mastery and Passion
2. Passion Mapping – Mr. Peter Wallman 2.10 – 3.10
   Using the power of passion to make important life decisionsMost young people spend their educational years in learning knowledge and skills to use in their careers. However many still long to understand how to make career and life decisions, not something we usually learn at school. How do we do this?

   I believe that we all have within us the capacity to access that part of ourselves that already knows the answers.  And passion can help us do so. But exactly what is passion? and how can I know what passions I uniquely have? and how can i use those insights in the most useful way.

3. Financial Literacy For teenagers - Mr. Dominic Siow 3.30pm – 4.30pm
   Learn the building blocks for developing long term wealth
   • Planning for a secure financial future
   • Strategies for creating wealth

   • Managing money

Meet our speakers:

Kristen Hansen Ms. Kristen Hansen	Kristen Hansen is an experienced personal and business coach and trainer working with individuals and groups to achieve their potential. Kristen is currently studying a Masters in Neuroscience of Leadership to bring a better understanding of the brain to individuals. Thi is because the brain creates our thoughts, our thoughts create our actions, our actions create our habits and our habits create our character and destiny. Setting Goals is a key process to changing our thinking and creating the furtures that we want. Knowing how to attend to goals to achieve them is also key. We each have the ability to create our future regardless of our past or our circumstances. Goals attended to can create a life we love living.   http://www.enhansenperformance.com.au

Who should attend?

We would like both Parents as well as Teenagers to attend.

GoKids together with the business community will be sponsoring 120 places for disadvantaged teenagers and their parents, with 80 places open to the public.

Disadvantaged Teenagers that will be sponsored by GoKids will be from areas such as:

• Families who have experienced substance abuse
• Divorced families
• Single parent families with no support for a parent and child relationship
• Teenagers who are homeless, but have families to go back to.

Why Parents should attend this seminar with their children?

For children to improve, it is important that the parents and carers attend this seminar together with their child or children. In order to fully appreciate the benefit of this seminar, both adults and teenagers need to work together. We believe that by doing so, both the parents and child will indirectly establish a strong bonding. On top of that, we strongly encourage parents to continually empower themselves with the new skill sets to meet the changing needs of their children.
