YOUNG AMBASSADORS

Positioning Young Africans to Go Global

 

We would like to commend your prestigious institution for producing outstanding students who are set to transform the socio-economic landscape of this nation.

 

Your school has the purpose to educate children and help them succeed in the future, and it is not possible for a person to succeed if they aren’t polite and are not a likable person to be around.

Teaching children how and why they need to make smart choices will help them to become passionate and loyal individuals. It can also greatly reduce future problems they may develop or encounter. Moving way beyond the proper usage of forks and knives, twenty-first century etiquette offers a blueprint for weaving the fabric of our future society.

 

Educators who focus mainly on test scores are in for a rude awakening when larger issues arise. Issues such as cheating on test scores, stealing from classmates or bullying other children.

 

Courses on etiquette and character development can sweep potential minefields by imparting the building blocks of successful emotional growth: integrity, honesty, empathy, leadership, and responsibility, to name just a few. If your students grow up to be engineers, doctors, senators and presidents; but are greedy and uncaring, their advance degrees and lofty achievements will count for very little, for the institution would have failed miserably in nurturing a true human being.

How does your child respond while relating to others? A research carried out in the United States by Sherwin Williams Company News once concluded that "About 15% of one's financial and career success is due to technical skills while the remaining 85% is due to people skills."

 

Recent studies have also shown that emotional intelligence (EI) is as central to a child’s success and fulfillment as good grades and a college degree. Etiquette seeks to enhance the EI of children by encouraging them to express and discuss their emotions, thereby improving their social sensitivity and public behavior.

 

Along with increased self-confidence and the ability to relate to others, students of etiquette develop enhanced social skills and experience far less anxiety when handling peer pressure. The potential for school violence can also be reduced by practicing the responsible behavior stressed in etiquette education.

 

Juniour Bible school children in church, after taking only two training sessions in character education, demonstrate a marked improvement in self-confidence, social skills, and other beneficial qualities.

 

For educators, parents and especially for our children, etiquette education and character development pay big dividends that last a lifetime.

 To this end, we have designed the Young Ambassador’s Leadership Development program that will engage your children in open forums with active role-playing while providing practical tools to students for handling difficult moments and peer pressure.

 

The Young Ambassadors Leadership Development Program contains the following items:

 

• The Young Ambassadors Leadership Book

• The Young Ambassadors Workbook

• The Young Ambassadors Parents Audio

• Ambassadorial Dining Skills DVD

• FREE Teachers Guide

• FREE 2-Day in-house Teachers Training Seminar

• FREE 2-hour Parents Training Program

 

We would like the opportunity to make a live presentation of the program to your Parents Teachers Association or to your school stakeholders at a convenient date.

 

Each participating institution can purchase the products in bulk and retail it to parents at their own price through the school system and through the 12 weeks participation in the program.
