What we do:
Training for Personal Excellence

Summary:
You may have noticed that the role, workload and expectations for teachers – in fact anyone working in the sectors of education, charity and business - to perform is increasing all the time; and that being able to assist young people to learn as best as they can, stay motivated when things are tough going, and positively keep on top of their feelings is a highly prized set of skills.

In response to the challenges that all those working alongside young people face on a day to day basis, Lifespace has developed inspirational and informative training on a range of subjects, specifically for those who want to achieve really good things more easily and effortlessly & see young people thrive, face and overcome difficulties, and develop their resilience – be it in the classroom, the home, the community or in employment.

Who is it for?
Those interested in finding out more about mentoring; those with informal or formal mentoring experience and wanting to extend their knowledge and application further; those responsible for setting up and/or managing mentoring schemes; teaching assistants; support workers; youth workers; church leaders; university graduates. Trainees need to be 18 or over to apply.

So if you want to...
…enhance your influence, motivate your young people more easily, create a more enjoyable and productive learning experience, use your own emotions and language more effectively, reduce the frequency and levels of conflict, stress and anger, and really become more of the person you aspire to be...then contact us for all the information you need, as you may just consider this training essential.
