We

personal interests, attitudes, and values. This instrument will
help us to understand the forces within us as we look to build
a map of our personal leadership goals.
Each participant will
receive a follow up coaching session included in the program
cost. Additional sessions may be arranged as needed.
Personal leadership is an individual practice
that allows us to take charge of our own life. Personal leaders
have a game plan for their life. Just like the athlete who designs
a game plan to excel, so does a personal leader. Call it what
you will...personal mission statement, life plan, setting of
goals or a personal punch list...it is all about giving your
life direction and establishing a clear path about what you need
to succeed!
Our goal is to give you the opportunity to
understand your personal goals and aspirations while anchoring
yourself and your future with practices, principles and a framework
that will allow you to enter this next stage of your life with
a sense of self-confidence.
"The seemingly
infinite number and vast range of options for upper school students
ironically magnifies the inherent struggle for self-definition.
At a critical developmental time for consolidation of values
and clarity of purpose, juniors and seniors surely will benefit
from what is at the heart of E.N.G.A.G.E., ‘personal leadership'."
