KidLead Peru

-
I just returned from a week in Lima, helping Ileana Gonzalez and her partners launch KidLead Peru.  The more I travel, the more I realize that leaders and leadership are well over 90% the same, globally.  Leadership is the process of helping people accomplish together, what they cannot as individuals.  Leaders are individuals who get leadership going.  Ileana is a 32 year old teacher with a passion for developing young leaders in her country and South America.  We applaud her work with teachers, students and her covey of quality new Trainers. 

The other good news about Ileana and her team of change agents, is that they will be translating LeadYoung curricula into Spanish.  As KidLead becomes global, translation issues become more important.  New language content opens others to use it in developing young leaders.  We continue to be excited as we recently trained two new Trainers in western Australia, and further recent contacts in Tunisia, South Africa, and China.  Young leader development is still a pioneering field, but as people such as Ileana discover that tools exist to identify and grow great leaders while they're moldable, we hold out that hope for a better world is on the way.

Launch of Young Leader Feeder Video Training Series

While I love teaching leadership and org change at amazing institutions such as USC, the Naval Postgraduate School and Pepperdine, I know that if we're going to fill the leadership pipeline with effective and ethical leaders, we need to get to them while they're moldable, not moldy. Thus, I've started a free training video series for teen leaders called Young Leader Feeder. They're 2-5 minute PowerPoint videos with age-sized content I teach my MBA students. Here's a link to the first 2 and please pass the word:  https://youtu.be/NkTlx8cawBY  (EQ: Self-Awareness)  https://youtu.be/ILRCbfFKOSE  (EQ: Self-Management)

Love Principals Like Mrs. Bartlow

This morning, I began meeting with principals and school administrators, introducing them to LeadYoung Institute. Although I've now sent emails to all public and private schools in the Conejo Valley, I'm curious as to who the early adopters are. My first meeting was with Mrs. Carey Bartlow, Principal of Cypress Elementary School in Newbury Park. I was very impressed with her recognition of students who were social catalysts as well as understanding the difference between leading and administrating.  I've found this is more rare than we'd like to think among educators. So while I'm excited to meet more local educators, I'm very impressed with Principal Bartlow. No doubt Cypress has a bright future with her leadership. http://www.conejousd.org/cypress/Home.aspx

  Exciting Changes Coming Soon We are gearing up for an exciting reboot as we pivot to KidLead 2.0. Our impetus the last 15 years focused on training educators and children-youth workers to license LeadYoung curricula. Our new focus involves empowering parents to develop the leadership potential in their own children. In 2024, we will launch KidLead Academy, a digital course designed to train moms and dads -- perhaps even some grandpa's and grandma's -- to invest in future leaders. We will hit FaceBook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube. Stay tuned. Exciting changes are coming soon!
