THE MISSING CURRICULUM
FOR YOUNG ADULTS
THE OVERVIEW
01
AVOID UNCERTAINTY AND BECOME THE 3% OF THE NEXT GENERATION TO KNOW YOURSELF, CHOOSE THE RIGHT EDUCATION, AND ACCEPT THE MOST APPROPRIATE PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCES THAT LAUNCH A REWARDING CAREER.
TWO THINGS HAPPEN TO YOUNG PEOPLE WHEN THEY SET OUT ON THEIR OWN:
THEY PICK A CAREER PATH BASED ON ADVICE, BIAS, PRESSURE, ARBITRARY METRICS, OR SOME ROMANTIC NOTION OF A
LIFESTYLE THEY THINK THEY WANT. AND YEARS LATER, AFTER THEY’VE DEVOTED YEARS AND MONEY TO THAT “DREAM” – THEY REALISE THEY HATE IT.
THEY AIMLESSLY DRIFT… OFTEN FOR YEARS, IF NOT THE REST OF THEIR LIFE.
HERE’S WHY THIS IS HAPPENING
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE GIVEN DIRECTIONS, BUT NO COMPASS OF THEIR OWN…
Students want to be smart, accomplished, and worldly – but they’re given little to no instructions on HOW to achieve these qualities in a way that works for them. Advice from parents, friends, or counsellors is based on their past experiences and rarely adapted to the current conditions.
Plus, a student’s path in life is PERSONAL Fulfilment. Is a prize people have to win for themselves. So while parents encourage one path (because they want the best for their kids – plus it’s their money, and understandably, they don’t want it wasted), friends or idols are saying another, and it’s making overwhelm – and the likelihood of choosing a poor fit – worse.
THEY GET CONFLICTING INFO ABOUT UNIVERSITY:
They hear University is the foundation for a better future. But also, they hear University isn’t worth it – that it’s boring, everything learned could’ve been learned on the Internet, people aren’t impressed by the phrase “Harvard Graduate” (or anything like it) anymore, and it’s not worth the time and expense of the label.
PLUS, many students never truly excelled or felt comfortable (let alone, brilliant) in the one-size-fits all learning environments of their past – so why would they be excited about University? How could it be different? (Answer: It would be VERY different and exciting if they actually understood themselves, their learning style, and what they want to do).
Bottom line, if a student wants to be a doctor, medical school is the obvious choice. Students who don’t want to be doctors, well…they have much to consider.
THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT THEIR FOCUS SHOULD BE:
Even when students think they know their major, they don’t know exactly how to self-guide and hone in on their niche.
THE FEAR OF FAILURE IS PARALYSING:
While parents and guardians are interested in their kid’s security and finances, students are also interested in their freedom, creativity, and happiness. They want to increase their chances of having all those things. They want to have a purpose. They want to take risks and live an exciting life, but ALSO don’t want to be a fool and gamble with their future, or worse…have to move back home with their parents.
The truth is that a “risk” that aligns with them isn’t a risk at all. It’s just the right choice.
SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE NEWS ADD TO THEIR ANXIETY AND PARALYSIS:
Through the lens of the internet, the world looks very grim – divided political parties, wars, pandemics, global warming, The Great Resignation, etc. This has young people wondering, what’s even possible anymore? Are all businesses terrible? Is it even worth it to try? They need to know how to filter the negativity, regulate their emotions, know their triggers, and have hope that their gifts are likely part of the solution that changes the world for the better.
Adding insult to injury are the rare few who do KNOW what they want to do, which makes it seem like everyone has a calling but them. This compounds the anxiety of not knowing what to do.
THE MISSING CURRICULUM
A 3- MONTH COACHING INTENSIVE FOR YOUNG ADULTS, AGES 17-22 (PRE OR POST COLLEGE) WHO WANT TO PROACTIVELY AVOID YEARS OF AIMLESS DRIFTING, CAREERS THAT DON’T SUIT THEM, AND THE INEVITABLE REGRET FROM EITHER…
By instead learning WHO THEY ARE – as well as their goals, strengths, preferences, learning & communication style – so they can get their ideal education, make the right decisions, and land the right career.

HOW IT WORKS
THIS PROGRAMME INCLUDES THE DELIVERABLES AND TOOLS IN MY ITE (INSIGHT THROUGH ENQUIRY) METHOD WHERE PARTICIPANTS BUILD A PERSONALISED “INSTRUCTION MANUAL” IDENTIFYING THEIR STRENGTHS, VALUES, AND COMMUNICATION STYLE, SO DECISIONS ARE MADE EASIER AND NECESSARY ACTIONS BECOME SECOND-NATURE.
ITE IS KNOWN FOR ITS:
MIX OF WIDELY USED AND PROPRIETARY TESTING TOOLS.
INTERVIEW TRAINING, SO KIDS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY’RE DOING IN THESE SEEMINGLY HIGH-PRESSURE SITUATIONS AND TO NEGOTIATE WITH THEM.
COACHING & MENTORING TO GUIDE STUDENTS THROUGH THE INTERROGATION OF THEIR ANSWERS AND DETERMINE WHAT’S TRUE AND WHAT ISN’T.
A TAILORED-TO-STUDENT READING LIST FOR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND ONGOING INSPIRATION.
A TAILORED-TO-STUDENT LIST OF TEDTALKS TO FAMILIARISE THEMSELVES WITH THE BIG IDEAS PEOPLE HAVE INTRODUCED TO THE WORLD AND THE BIG IDEAS THAT LIGHT THEM UP.
(FOR STUDENTS) 2 PART EXAMS TRAINING: HOW TO PREPARE AND HOW TO DEAL WITH THE STRESS CAUSED BY THESE EXAMS.
AS A RESULT, KIDS LEARN THEIR:
LEARNING STYLE
So learning becomes easier (and more fun).
COMMUNICATION
STYLE
So connecting with others becomes easier (and more meaningful).
TOP REAL STRENGTHS + BLIND SPOTS
And how they work best together –so they can play them to your advantage – the result is MASSIVE gains in self confidence that people pick up and are drawn to.
MOST IMPORTANT VALUES
These help determine what motivates them, what businesses and people align with them, and enables them to make better choices.
LOVES, LIKES, AND I-COULD-CARE-LESSES
So they know they’re moving in the right direction.
PREFERENCES FOR PRODUCTIVITY, FOCUS, AND FLOW
So they’re less of a procrastinator and SUCCEED at their goals.
THEY EXPERIENCE
CONFIDENCE IN KNOWING WHAT MAKES THEM COME ALIVE.
AN ABILITY TO MAKE BETTER CHOICES BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND THEMSELVES.
AN ABILITY TO SET AMBITIOUS GOALS AND MAKE A PLAN FOR REACHING THEM.
AN ABILITY TO IDENTIFY LIMITING BELIEFS, AS WELL AS HAVE THE POWER TO SET THEM ASIDE.
AN ABILITY TO FILTER INFORMATION FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD, SO THEY CAN AVOID GETTING SIDETRACKED BY WHAT ISN’T IMPORTANT TO THEM.
AN ABILITY TO TURN BAD HABITS INTO USEFUL RITUALS THAT STICK, REPROGRAMMING THEIR MIND.

PROGRAMME
SPECIFICS
SPECIFICS
3 MONTHS
Providing ample time to learn, implement, and develop strong habits and practices.
EIGHT, 50-MINUTE 1:1 ZOOM CALLS
Same time, same place every week for the first 5-6 weeks – where we get tons done and cover a lot of ground each time we meet.
HOMEWORK
Between meetings, students will answer questionnaires/take tests/read or watch materials, so we’re prepared for and get the most out of each meeting.
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SESSIONS TO BOOST SUPPORT
We’ll use WhatsApp or email for between-meetings communication.
30 MINUTE QUICK-CALLS
Available for breakthrough discussions/epiphanies/interview prep (or just to vent – it’s healthy to blow off steam!)
GROUP WORKSHOPS AVAILABLE FOR UNIVERSITIES
There’s a mix of 1:1 and group workshops available for Universities. Otherwise, all work is 1:1.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST PAINS AND SOURCES OF ANXIETY IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD IS BEING AIMLESS – NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO NEXT AS THE CLOCK KEEPS TICKING. AS A SOCIETY, IGNORING THIS PAIN IS EXTREMELY NEGLIGENT CONSIDERING THAT IT’S AVOIDABLE. BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS AN INTERNAL COMPASS…IT’S JUST THAT BARELY ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO USE IT.
We’re asking KIDS to know the answer to these fully adult questions (that most adults can’t even answer!). So I propose we train them to do so…

IN TRUTH, KIDS NEED A BETTER PROGRAMME THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, ISN’T OFFERED IN SCHOOLS.
