Smart Hats Program Registration 11/23/2021

FINAL CALL FOR PARENTS 🏃‍♀️🏃🏼‍♂️ Program for Teenagers, ❗️TWO SPOTS left❗️

Recently, being in the company of teenagers’ moms, I asked them what kind of a future they wish for their children.
👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 - The best, of course! - they said unanimously.
🤔 - How do you help them with this? - I asked again.

Their answers were quite different 👉👉👉 Some advise regarding their future career path, others hire teachers to increase school performance, some teach house chores and nag about good behaviour… All these are essential and wonderful! 💯💯

Nevertheless, the most important thing that each parent can give to their child are the skills that will help them succeed in society, given that they run the show today 🎯💪🌏

We know nine of such skills which we embraced in our SMART HATS Youth Program 📚 and which our students will be practicing during nine months as a metaphor of the birth to a new personality 🦋🔆

What are these skills?
💥Body language
💥Self-Confidence
💥Storytelling
💥Acting
💥Communication
💥Personal Image
💥Public speaking
💥Stress Management
💥Dancing
Classes take place on weekends in small groups at 722 Sheppard Avenue West.
🎉 We are starting on November 27th.

This will be a complete course to replace old habits 🥁 During this period, teenagers will acquire skills that will help them look and feel more confident, overcome fears of communication, express their authenticity, and strengthen leadership skills 🏆

After completing the main course, our students will perform in front of a sizeable audience with 🎤 Stage Presence, Impromptu Public Speech and Competitive Debate, followed by the Certification Gala!

The program created in partnership with Immigrant Women in Business. To sign in call (647) 460-3430 or follow the link https://academyofsocialcompetency.com/smart-hats-youth-leadership-program-toronto-registration-page/

Dear parents of shy and isolated teenagers, the following information may surprise you 🧐
‼️Communication is a mental workout which develops brain activity, while a lack of socializing may deteriorate it ➡️ Isolated people are more prone to depression, stress, anxiety, aggression, fear of being judged and even physical pain…

💥💥If you look at sociable people, observe the dynamics of their movements, and feel their energy, you may notice that they are more open, flexible, adaptable and go easily through life challenges 🦋🔆 These people are optimistic and always have someone to call and spend time with.

🤩 Socializing is vital for teenagers, given that only in relationships with others young people learn the norms of social interactions, explore their identity and understand their own place in the world 💁‍♀️💁‍♂️ Of course, not all teenagers crave communication, some of them feel great being alone. However, they represent a small sample of the population! More often, teenagers shut down because they do not know how to cope with communication barriers 😢😱 This frustrates them even more, posing a threat to their physical and mental health. No parent wants this for their child!

Communication skills can and should be developed and much like a muscle, they are the result of regular training 💪💯 The more we communicate, the easier it is to establish a common ground with others.
👉The more we talk about ourselves, the more our self-confidence grows.
👉The more we are in contact with our body, the more harmoniously we present ourselves to the world.

🎁To help teenagers strengthen their self-esteem and become more sociable, in partnership with Immigrant Women in Business we have created a program consisting of nine modules: Body Language, Self-Confidence, Storytelling, Acting, Communication, Personal Image, Public Speaking, Stress Management and Acting, followed by extracurricular public activities in front of a real audience 😁🎤 — Stage Presence, Impromptu Speech and Competitive Debate.

Benefits of the Program:
⭐️Group training
⭐️$120 per month + HST
⭐️Certificate of completion
⭐️Experienced and competent coaches
⭐️Classes are held once a week on Saturdays. We are starting on November 27th, a few spots left.

Smart Hats Intro 10/20/2021

I have practiced psychology for many years and during this time I’ve met many men and women —charming, educated, with a great sense of humor and big dreams 🦋💪💯. While their stories differed and everyone was unique, they all had one small “BUT” 🙈 They were shy, didn't realize or accept their value, and had difficulties presenting themselves publicly. All these factors significantly limited their chances for success.

🤔Is it possible to present yourself to the world if you are quiet and shy?
🤔How can you convince others about your own value if you don’t find value in yourself?
🤔If we don’t possess self-confidence how do we build it?

I have a firm grasp of these challenges, given that years ago I was in the same shoes 🥾🧩🎲 struggling with my introversion and shyness, all the while working on my personal brand and career. Since then, I have undergone a huge transformation 💁‍♀️ which includes becoming a lawyer, acquiring a PhD in psychology, opening my first-second-third businesses and training hundreds of people to change their lives for the better 🎯However, my biggest dream has always been the creation of a comprehensive program for youth to equip them with the skill set needed for a successful and integrative performance in the future.

🤩🧚‍♀️🥳Today, I am realizing my dream, and I am happy to present the SMART HATS Youth Program, designed in partnership with Immigrant Women in Business.
It's a nine-month program that includes 🚀 Body Language, Self-Confidence, Storytelling, Acting, Communication, Personal Image, Public Speaking, Stress Management and Acting, followed with extracurricular public activities in front of a real audience:
👉Stage Presence
👉Impromptu Speech
👉Competitive Debate.
The classes will start soon, space is limited. Interested in the program for your teenage child? Register now https://academyofsocialcompetency.com/smart-hats-youth-leadership-program-toronto-registration-page/

Do you remember your childhood? 🧸🎈
I remember mine well — I was quiet, shy and often unable to communicate my message 🥺 I admired my friends who were self-confident and wanted to be like them — relaxed, sociable and cheerful. However, my body felt otherwise and prevented me from making new friends, chatting, laughing and performing at social events — something that I yearned for 🤦‍♀️ I was an excellent student, but “lacked” the real communication skills necessary to be myself.

🤓 My personal growth journey took 20-30 years and included professional diplomas, a PhD degree in psychology, an extensive private practice and a vast network of contacts. Now, my innate shyness is no longer a challenge 🔆🦋 I live a very active life, have sizeable interactions with different people and public speaking engagements.

‼️Dear parents, if your child is shy, isolated and lacks self-confidence, bear in mind the following — it could be a struggle that has many more challenges than you may not be aware of 💯

In today's world, it’s vital to represent yourself, be self-confident and communicative 📣 It is becoming more difficult for quiet children and parents who are worried about the future of their children — and the pressure keeps mounting 👀 Such children hide in the back rows from any contact and initiative ➡️ By adolescence, they feel lonely and avoid communicating with others ➡️ As adults, they become invisible and do not climb the career ladder 😱

🥳🥳 These challenges have a solution, and the sooner your child develops self-confidence and a mastering of social skills, the better their present and future will be. 🎯 This is specifically what our new program for youth targets!

👉It's a nine-month group training that includes Body Language, Self-Confidence, Storytelling, Acting, Communication, Personal Image, Public Speaking, Stress Management and Acting 🥁 culminating in extracurricular public activities in front of a real audience — Stage Presence, Impromptu Speech and Competitive Debate 💪

We are ready to start in October as soon as the groups are formed.

Why are some people more successful than others? 🤔

The key is not the hard work (which is, of course, important) but the mastering of relevant skills.

🏅Successful people are confident about their goals and ideas; they are resilient and move forward despite challenges and failures.

🏅Successful people are in active interactions with others — they communicate, collaborate, lead, ignite, network, engage, influence and share.

🏅Successful people constantly learn and can transform their weaknesses into strengths.

‼️With all these in mind, we created a program that helps young people to grow their self-confidence, communication and leadership skills. Our curriculum is organized in nine💪 steps and includes:

🔹Body Language

🔸Self-Confidence

🔹Storytelling

🔸Acting

🔹Communication

🔸Personal Image

🔹Public Speaking

🔸Stress Management

🔹Acting - each taught by coaches with relevant expertise.

🍒The cream of the crop is our extracurricular activities, where students present their newly developed selves in front of a real audience throughout the 🎤Stage Presence, Impromptu Speech and Competitive Debate.

Time Flies... 🚀
It has been over one and a half years since the onset of -19, and we have all experienced it’s consequences, in one way or another 🤷‍♀️

During this time, I was out of social media visibility, however my life was still very active 🌸🐝 Traveling, providing psychotherapy and coaching, contemplating, expanding my business, gaining weight and eventually slimming back down, networking and babysitting my grandchildren...

Yes, sometimes my activity was limited by restrictions and lockdowns 😡 but my mind was always free. I always had ability to be myself and move forward 🏄 REMEMBER, no one can limit your thoughts, your beliefs and your dreams.

From NY with love 💕

🇷🇺 Я просил сил, а жизнь дала мне трудности, чтобы сделать меня сильным.
Я просил мудрости, а жизнь дала мне проблемы для разрешения.
Я просил богатства, а жизнь дала мне мозг и мускулы, чтобы я мог работать.
Я просил возможности летать, а жизнь дала мне препятствия, чтобы я их преодолевал.
Я просил любви, а жизнь дала мне людей, которым я мог помогать в их проблемах.
Я просил благ, а жизнь дала мне возможности.
Я ничего не получил из того, о чем просил,
Но я получил все, что было мне нужно.
