Our model
explained
Most young people don't like to plan. They like to do.
But planning can be enjoyable when the journey they are taking is exhilarating.
ā
Most young people don't fulfil their academic potential as they lack an inspiring vision for their life.
ā
We all know this to be true.
ā
Yet we tend to spend more time honing in our ability to effectively communicate our subject area than we do addressing this real issue.
ā
We need to avoid the trap of believing that by becoming better subject specialists we will automatically engage our students to new heights. CPD in one's subject is important but speaking purpose into the lives of our students will likely have a greater impact when done effectively.
Our resources do that for you. Allow us to explain...
Our model unpacked
Our courses and resources help you take secondary and college age students on a purposeful journey of learning how to and the importance of
complying, dreaming, planning and focussing.
It is the very essence that every young person and young adult needs to thrive. If we're honest most of us usually try and circumvent it, yet without this base any efforts on our part either crumble or become blunted. We find ourselves trying harder but we don't always have the results to show for it. Yet it need not be so difficult.

Pyramid Paradigm Unpacked
ā
ā
Let us give you a quick tour through the stages that make up our successful model.
Complying: If your students are not consistently doing the basics right - e.g. attending lessons, doing their homework, respecting their peers, tidying their room even - then it has a huge knock on effect to their mindset. Kind of obvious we think but worth pointing out. We help to change this.
Dreaming: Most young people do not have any serious aspirations. Those with aspirations do better in life and in education. They also enjoy healthier relationships. As professionals we sort of know and recognise this yet sometimes we are so busy in whatever it is we are doing that we forget to journey our young people through it. Our resources help you do just that.
ā
Planning: Let’s face it, DREAMS are nothing if we don’t feel like we can fulfil them. Aspirations evaporate in a moment if they don’t look achievable. So we need to teach our students to map a way to their future. We show them how to do that in our courses and resources.
ā
Focussing: Students working towards exams and other qualifications need to know that everything they are spending their time on is the most beneficial thing they could be doing at that moment. It’s the whole working smarter not harder debacle. It's down to us to teach them how to do that and we help with that too.
Studying and perfecting: The final two stages to our pyramid model are important but we do not cover them ourselves. This is where we get off the bus and leave you to it. I mean if you want to take a History qualification for example then you need to be taught the syllabus (studying) and you need to understand exam technique (perfecting). Or if you are learning to be a builder you need to study on the job and then learn to perfect your craft.
So yes this part is essential to a young person's success but without the underpinnings of complying, dreaming, planning and focussing it’s needlessly more difficult, much less effective and a lot more dull. Like trying to build a house of cards on sand and struggling accordingly.
