ESSENTIAL DISCIPLINES FOR TEENS
By Stephen Judah, Ph.D.

ESSENTIAL DISCIPLINES FOR TEENS equips young people with the practical understanding and skills, or essential disciplines, necessary for personal and interpersonal success in private life AND the workplace. Business and professional leaders want and need workers who possess both hard-skills (math, English, technical capability, etc.) and soft-skills (individual character, relationship skills, etc.).  Essential Disciplines provides an excellent soft-skills education solution.

The business world refers to this approach as “consistent user interface” – learn one process and master several.  Essential Disciplines uses the same process and content to work in multiple worlds, empowering teens to develop whole relationships in family, friendships, romantic relationships, employment and life. To learn more, watch Kay Reed discuss Essential Disciplines.

• Communication – Understand and be understood.
• Conflict Resolution – Transform the negative.
• Continual Improvement – Cultivate the positive.
