Our workshops are designed for students typically aged 16 to 23 who are preparing to enter, or are already in university. They’re often academically capable and motivated, but recognize that true success in professional careers requires more than textbook knowledge; it also takes strong communication, collaboration, and personal effectiveness skills.

Schools and universities rightly focus on academic content and grades. In that environment, students are trained to aim for a perfect score; success is measured by numbers.

Real life doesn’t work that way. In the workplace and beyond, success depends on how well you combine multiple skills, adapt to challenges, work with people and situations you do not control, and stay motivated without someone assigning you a grade. Our workshops help young adults build exactly that—self-motivation, resilience, and the mindset of a lifelong learner.

Academic results show a student has the ability to learn, demonstrate and apply knowledge. But academics alone aren’t enough. What matters is how well a student can adapt, work with others, and chart his/her path.

For example, medical schools don’t just admit students with top marks; they look for empathy, resilience, and strong interpersonal skills. Employers take the same approach: they meet many applicants with excellent academics but only hire those who also demonstrate the soft skills needed to succeed on the job.

These abilities don’t appear overnight. The best time to start developing them and building the character to match is during young adulthood.

At university: the skills we teach help students succeed in group projects, presentations, and start managing their emotions, performance and life.

In the workplace: skills, personality, and character have a big influence on career progression, remuneration and satisfaction, aka happiness.

By developing these abilities early, especially the ability to self-direct personal growth, your child will not only stand out in applications and interviews but also enter adulthood with the fundamental skills to start life-long learning with confidence and resilience.

Benefit by actually doing, coached by instructors who have a real professional career, and have had the training to teach. This course is fun, but it's not just another summer activity to kill time. We expect them to be fully immerse in the program, have fun, learn skills, reflect and make plans. We don't promise 3 days will turn them into instant professionals, but this is the start of the life long learning as young adults - self-driven.

First and foremost, our instructors hold university degrees, have years of international experience working in top professional organisations, often across diverse industries, countries, and cultures. Our instructors also qualified to deliver adult education programs. They know how to teach effectively.

Beyond their credentials and career achievements, what truly sets our instructors apart is their passion and sense of purpose. They are deeply committed to helping young adults develop the skills and confidence to succeed in work, career and life.

Absolutely. Our program creates a safe, supportive environment where every student is encouraged to be themselves. We recognise that everyone learns differently, so we don’t prescribe a single “right” way to learn. In fact, our workshops give plenty of time for guided self-reflection. This gives everyone the opportunity to reflect and summarise in their own words what they have learned, and put ideas to paper on how they could carry forward the learning points forward beyond the workshop.

Our workshops are deliberately limited to small groups. Students learn not only from the instructors, but more importantly from each other. Learning from peers through activities build confidence and trust while learning essential skills for collaboration, communication, and personal growth.

Over the years, I’ve seen bright students struggle in the real world. Degrees, connections, and international exposure help—but they don’t assure success.

To succeed in life takes skills. School assumes you pick them up as you go. A good example is, working on a group project exposes you to collaborating with others, but it does not teach you how to work with them, especially when the going gets tough. Such skills can be taught and learned, in a structured way.

Skills are best learned in person, especially when the participants are young adults. Being physically present in a room with peers, doing activities together and learning from each other make the learning process so much more intensive, emotional, and memorable. It is effective.
