Youth Empowerment Seminar: First NLP Training System for Youth Leaders

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Are you your school’s Rockstar? Secret Weapon? Or are you a People’s Champion? There are different ways to lead and it all starts from igniting your individual brilliance.

A lot of times though, young people hesitate to step up and lead. Not because their ideas are not brilliant, but because there is a preconceived notion of what a leader should be like. A leader is stereotyped to be vocal, extroverted, and popular and sometimes this stops the child from even trying. On the other hand, there’s always a step up for extroverted leaders to hulk up their leadership potential.

In the Youth Empowerment Seminar, we celebrate how each and everyone has a unique advantage that makes him or her a fascinating leader—somebody who is compelling, interesting, and confident. This advantage (whether it's innovation, passion, mystique, power, alert, trust, or prestige) naturally comes out and this is precisely how you best contribute, influence, and lead.

The Youth Empowerment Seminar (YES) by World Stage International Network is a fun 2-day leadership workshop for students aged 7-18 who already have a leadership position in school and outside, and those aspiring to be in the future. This is on Nov. 26-27, 2016 at 9am-5pm at the World Stage Center at 3rd Floor Mirax Bldg, 2270 Chino Roces Ext., Makati City.

Below are some photos from last year's YES event:

Participants will get to:

•    Nail their brilliance using their natural strengths as leverage!

•    Find out why they shouldn’t be focusing on their weaknesses and how they can energize their differences instead!

•    Lead their team to success using specific Language Cues that drive their team’s behavior

•    Build their confidence so that they are saying Yes to school (and even life!) challenges

•    Learn the mechanics of public speaking and how they can move their communication from left brain (analytical) to right brain (emotional) so that they are nailing their message well

•    Enjoy the adventure of speakership which will help them recite better and have a crisper pitch and presentation

With a mix of leadership and communication tools of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Fascinate Advantage concepts from the USA as the program backbone, this is like an MBA for the youth, preparing them to achieve more in school and in life. Here’s the awesome news—it’s going to be a workshop loaded with activities and games that the kids will laugh, joke, and enjoy while learning. Far, far, far, from a classroom setting the kids are used to.

Do not miss this chance to unleash the leadership potential in your child!

Youth Empowerment Seminar on Nov. 26-27 is by World Stage International Network, an NLP Center for Leadership Excellence.

The Amazing Race Asia Season 5 Update: The Stress of the Race gets to Rona

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Last episode’s first team, Yvonne and Chloe kicked off leg three with good news – they are heading back to their homeland in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia! But first, teams need to travel from Bandung to Jakarta’s Senayan City Mall to purchase their air tickets. At Garuda Indonesia’s office, the teams realize that the earliest flight to KL is the next day at 8.35am.

Right when they land, the teams make a quick dash out. While the other teams are directed to get an airport taxi, Eric asks around for a metered taxi, giving Eric & Rona an advantage. At Menara Great Eastern Building in Kuala Lumpur, teams face their first Roadblock challenge. One of them must rappel down the side of a 300 foot skyscraper to retrieve a flag. Teams that miss the flag or drop it, must attempt the challenge again.

Eric & Rona, Tom & Anita are the first two teams to rappel down while it’s just starting to rain. As Louisa &Treasuri are getting ready, the teams received a lightning warning and they have to head back indoors to wait for the storm to pass. Eric & Rona, Tom & Anita head to KL Sentral Station where they have to take the earliest train to Penang. They are disappointed to find out that the next available train is at 5.50pm, almost 3 hours away, which will give the other teams a chance to catch up.

Once the rain let up, Louisa &Treasuri, Parul & Maggie and Yvonne & Chloe speed down the building easily and they quickly make their way to the train station. Unfortunately, JK & Mike, Alex & Will and Vicky & Rach did not find the flags and they have to retry the challenge again.
