Join us for Reflections Publishing’s first Inspirational Youth Leadership Conference for Teams and Families. During this conference, parents and children/coaches and players will learn tips and tools to help them to navigate through the difficult challenges of the Tween and Teen years.
To kick-off the conference, we are blessed to have Nationally-recognized Leadership and Team Building speaker, Lynda Cormier, to lay the groundwork with an inspirational message on how to be the best version of yourself. Colleen C. Ster, President/C.E.O of Reflections Publishing will then lead the group through a quick Communication Activity, to learn how you each have been individually gifted and to remember these personal strengths as venture off to your age-appropriate sessions.
Throughout the day, parents/children will travel with their age group (Gr. 3-6, Gr. 7-8, and Gr. 9-12)
and rotate through the following 3 Break-out Sessions:
-
-Finding Balance in Life between school, activities, family, and social life - Erica Rood, M.A.Ed.
