6 Key Skills developed in a Vision Quest Camp

With my Vision Quest camps coming up I have received a lot of interest and a lot of questions. One of the consistent questions being, “what will be some skills I develop at a Vision Quest Camp?”. I am hoping this blog post will detail a little bit about the skills you develop, and also how they play into organizational success.

I often say “Leadership is a choice, not a formal position” and I say this because it is true. I have seen it with my own eyes, and it has been shown in studies. Research by Barnes and Krieger determined that previous leadership research was insufficient because it relied on models of one leader/many followers. According Barnes and Krieger, leadership is more of a reflection of an organization, rather than a person. In other words, in the most successful organizations, leaders’ roles overlap, and different people take on leadership roles at different times.

What the Vision Quest Camps aim to do is to give youth the personal skills needed to succeed in different leadership roles in different situations.

This is done by focusing on building six key personal skills:

Creating confidence- Confidence is one of the most sought-after personality traits in all aspects of life. It is important to note […]

Empowering Youth through my Vision Camps

If you have a son or daughter that has recently finished school and entered the professional world, you likely already know that they face incredible challenges and barriers that were unheard of in decades past. Competition for positions is global and it is fierce. They are navigating in a digital world, where expectations and technology change on an almost daily basis. As the father of two young adults myself, I know the kind of pressure our children are under, and it is intense.

The person who will thrive in this constantly shifting environment will be the one who has been prepared beforehand. The leaders of tomorrow will understand what is required to achieve consistent high-performance results, have a clear understanding of their own core values and know what they want to achieve in both their private and their professional life. They will also have the skills to balance it all for their own well-being.

This is why I have created my Vision Camps, and I believe it is some of the most important work I’ve ever done! In collaboration with my daughter Kaitlyn and my team of partners […]

Going Off The Rails

A train that’s off its tracks isn’t going anywhere. A Vision Camp can align you with the life track that you want to be on.

Young people losing their direction, going off the rails, is a serious concern, and not just for the individuals themselves and their families. For example, in the UK a group of fifty charities assessed that the lack of early intervention for those who start to lose their way costs the economy over £17BN (US $23BN) each year. In many Western countries university dropout rates are reaching record highs as a combination of high tuition fees and uncertainty over the future of the employment market take their toll; a Harvard University study in 2012 found that only 56% of USA college and university freshmen finished their degree, an astonishing wastage (and waste).

What then can be done to prevent our young people from losing direction in this way? It’s a burning question if we are to maximize the potential of these most precious assets in our society. I would argue that from a young age we need to help children and young adults establish […]

Preparing Young People For The Demands of The Future Workplace

It’s an often cited but still astonishing fact that a person who saw the Wright brothers’ first flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903 could easily have lived long enough to witness Neil Armstrong walking on the moon in 1969. The pace of change in the world since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution has been quite incredible, but the changes we will experience in the next few decades are set to dwarf what has gone before.

This will be particularly true in the workplace: a report by the Oxford Martin School estimates that up to 47% of jobs in the USA could disappear through mechanization and computerization by 2035. Young people entering the workplace in the next few years will be facing a set of challenges that their parents could never have envisaged. In order to succeed in this new environment it is essential that they are prepared as early as possible for its demands, which is one of the vital aspects of my Vision Camps for those about to enter the adult world.

One of the biggest changes in the workplace will be the virtual abolition of the traditional corporate […]
