The success chart reality
We do know the challenges some of our young individuals are facing today? Sure, we get the ‘performing under pressure’ deal, but the fish-bowl they live in now doesn’t always offer the ‘time-out’ factor that is crucial in their development. Life can appear to be continually under scrutiny.
At the Inspire Foundation we know the wellbeing of our youth is a key for them to realise their potential. We want them to become adversity champions. Accepting that anything worth doing typically doesn’t come easy, and no-one is immune to the challenges that life can throw.
Reflecting on a GRIT insight, developing commitment and taking action can help our young people to perform to their potential.
A well-being programme that shares insights to help and assist young individuals to build their self-belief, their resilience and to achieve excellence in their chosen field.
