Students gain the tools to believe in themselves, speak up, and step into leadership roles—whether that’s in the classroom, on the field, or in life. This isn’t just about public speaking—it’s about self-belief, courage, and learning to lead even when it’s hard.
From teamwork and communication to discipline and decision-making, students learn practical leadership tools they can use right now. These skills help them lead projects, resolve conflicts, and become role models among their peers.
Students join a community of like-minded youth who are all working to grow, lead, and make a difference. Through live sessions, group challenges, and mentorship, they’re supported and encouraged every step of the way.
this course will help you discover the skills, tools, and techniques to doing that…and so much more.

I've spent [X AMOUNT OF TIME STUDYING/TRAINING/ETC]

[X AMOUNT OF TIME TEACHING/MENTORING/ETC]

And [X AMOUNT OF MONEY ON COURSES/RESOURCES/ETC]
I’ve worked with kids, teens, athletes, and young leaders from all walks of life. I’ve made plenty of mistakes along the way—and learned from every one of them. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve helped thousands of young people build confidence, develop leadership skills, and step into their full potential.
I’ve learned a lot—but my goal with the Youth Leadership Academy isn’t to overwhelm you with information.
Instead, this course is a clear, focused path: a distillation of the most powerful leadership principles I’ve seen work time and time again—combined with actionable tools your child can use right now to grow into a confident, capable leader at home, at school, and in their community.
Discover What It Means to Be a True Leader
Students will explore the core of authentic leadership by diving into the three pillars of Youth Leadership: Character, Connection, and Courage. These pillars are the foundation for leading with integrity, building strong relationships, and stepping up with confidence.
Lead Yourself First.
Before you can lead others, you must first learn to lead yourself. In this course, students will develop powerful self-talk habits and self-discipline strategies that lay the foundation for a life of purpose, confidence, and leadership.
Build Strong Connections That Inspire Others
Students will learn the power of connection before direction—the idea that great leaders earn trust before giving guidance. They'll discover how to earn respect, add value in every environment, and surround themselves with positive, like-minded people who lift them higher.
Turn Leadership Into Action
Students will learn how to plan, organize, and carry out a real-world leadership project—putting their skills to the test in a meaningful way. This challenge gives young leaders the chance to make a real impact on their school, community, or beyond.
