Empowering Future CEOs: Communication, Motivation and Finance

Prepared or not, kids will be leaders of generation happenings and innovations. Their future will depend on effective, relevant education.

Today’s kids are the leaders for tomorrow. Give the gift that keeps on giving. Tomorrow, they would be leading decision-makers across industries. Prepared or unready, they become shapers of their generation happenings and innovations. Their journey into the future depends on the effectiveness and relevance of education received now.

Financial education and capacity building training for kids have garnered attention since the 2008 economic recession. The focus has shifted from mathematical word problems to real-life scenarios. Personal finance, leadership, and investment –are seeping into curriculums around America.

The present generation of children will contend with more monetary issues that their parents and grandparents never encountered. Grounding kids for the future are far beyond the walls of classrooms. It’s a fact that academic training or education cannot provide all answers to real-life challenges waiting ahead. Funnily, it was never designed to instill leadership skills, collaboration, improve financial literacy and enhance communication skills for kids.

In fairness, many parents and families have made moves to empower their wards either through third-party or in-house tutoring. But the majority are confused about where and how to start telling kids about leadership qualities or money management. Exceptional students have been spotted and rewarded by organizations to keep them on track without faltering.

Leadership workshops for smart kids have widely been welcomed and generously funded. The aim is open-grooming and empowering kids as future leaders in industries. However, it’s easy for workshops organizers to muggle leadership workshops for kids to money talks gathering. It’s reduced to a day event where the only subject is money-owning piggy banks and serving for the next Christmas or Thanksgiving.
