Malala & SheLead

-

Beginning this week, our weekly KidLead blog will primarily be dedicated to SheLead topics, related to identifying and developing young female leaders.  While we'll continue to sprinkle our blogs with content related to young leaders in general, we specifically want to emphasize the cultural and global need for more and better female leaders.

On the day the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the 17 year old from Pakistan, Malala Yousafzai, we're putting our "stake in the ground" to raise up a whole new generation of leaders, as never seen in history.  While we admire all young leaders, we realize that the disservice women have and still experience today not only hurts them, but the many organizations and cultures that need what they have to offer.  Click HERE for info on Malala's Peace Prize announcement.   Follow SheLead.org Tweets @she_org.

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!
