Have you ever looked back onto your days where you were a youth, starving for an opportunity, wanting to improve yourselves but could not find the correct platform? Don’t let your stars go through the same thing and give them the gift of change. Give them a GREAT Escape to start 2016 off with a bang.
Enable your Young Stars a chance to better themselves; to get an edge to compete in the competitive market place and feel a sense of purpose. It is never too young to find their passion, to work towards being the ideal self and to learn things that will equip them to be better individuals.
The GREAT Escape is the chance for them to do just that. GREAT which is an acronym for Grooming Resourceful Empowered Appreciative Talents is a two-day workshop that focuses solely on the development of bright young individuals. Over the course of these two days, you will be able to see a difference within the hearts of your Young Stars.
With three superstar trainers –Michael Teoh, Mallory Loone and Alvin Teh, this GREAT adventure on the 30th and 31st of January will function as an educational tool to inspire them to reach out and find their purpose, to equip them with the necessary mindset as well as tools to pursue their passion, and to be a guide as they transform into becoming the ultimate change maker the world so badly needs.
Being a strong believer that you are never too young to start learning and working towards maximizing your full potential; the people at Thriving Talents have worked tirelessly to make this GREAT escape a reality.
The idea for GREAT was sparked when fellow super star trainers Michael Teoh, Mallory Loone and Alvin Teh were pondering on ways to ensure that the leaders of tomorrow are people who have reached their fullest potential and are ready to give back to their communities.
As they were pondering this thought, they reflected back on the time when they were young, had limited resources, and opportunities to develop themselves. After much reflection, they had a sense of duty towards the youth and has made it their mission to start 2016 by providing the opportunity that they never had to the teens aged 13 – 17.
Thriving Talents has worked with thousands of youths across 38 countries, supported by many Fortune 500 companies, including the United Nations. Their best memory for this far, was being given the great honour to have the President of the United States, Barack Obama and the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak visit their workshop held exclusively for children under Microsoft.
If you too believe that you need to start young in working towards maximizing your full potential, then give this gift of change and help make your siblings, cousins, nieces, nephews or friends GREAT! Don’t have younger relatives or friends? Then spread the word on social media and help make a change in another person’s life.
