Life is About Relationships:  Learn How World-class Leaders Build and Sustain Them
 
Check with your state or district to see if this webinar is approved for CEU credit!

 

In a culture that is increasingly technology-centered and relationally fragmented, teens struggle with face-to-face communication, relationships, and interpersonal skills. 

Yet these skills are crucial for them to succeed at the foundational levels of life—family, school, community, college, the workplace, and beyond. 

Employers and colleges report that teens today are seriously lacking in these “soft skills” as well as endurance and personal leadership skills. This is affecting both college completion rates and employability.

What are the keys to successful relationships?  How do world-class leaders conduct themselves, communicate, develop lasting relationships, handle conflict, and build strong teams? How can we prepare our students for life literacy?

Register now for this AAFCS educational webinar (1.5 PDUs) and learn five memorable principles to guide teens in developing and sustaining healthy interpersonal relationships:

As a former highly successful investment manager, part of Dennis Trittin’s job was to evaluate leaders of financial management companies to determine if they had the necessary integrity, savvy, and interpersonal skills that would lead to business success. Over time, he identified the key personality factors that were common among world-class leaders—whether they were in business, government, education, or politics. What he learned along the way was too valuable to leave behind.  Now, through LifeSmart Publishing, he is dedicating his life to sharing those insights to empower future generations.

For 90 minutes, you will be immersed in hands-on tools to help your students: 

  • Make great first impressions
  • Develop strong new friendships
  • Recognize that true friendship takes time and trust
  • Understand the power of your words on relationships
  • Be a valuable team member in any setting

After this webinar, you will be able to

  • Identify key interpersonal skills teens need to successfully navigate the social networks of school, home and community, and the workplace
  • Incorporate  creative activities and ideas for discussion ideas for teaching and reinforcing these skills
