Helping Everybody Win
Exploring Solution-Focused Approaches and Programs
Experiential Educator and Institute Co-Founder, Tony Cox invites you to come and join us for this very thought provoking program as we begin to explore the reasons our students do some of the things they do and what role we can play as Educators in helping people get what they need.
Famed Psychologist, William Glasser believes that as human beings we spend tremendous conscious and unconscious energy in the constant pursuit of 5 important human needs. People’s single-minded determination to secure these things for themselves often preclude them focusing on anything else until that “mission” has been accomplished. Understanding these 5 points of pursuit is an awareness that every Educator working with students should possess.
Every day in our work as Educators and Helpers, there are constant unseen invitations for us to either be part of the problem or part of the solution; to either be engaged in empathy and compassion or to become mired in power-struggles; to be fixated or on the symptoms or to understand the cause.
Through experiential activities, collaborative discussion groups and lively lecture pieces we will: explore the power of perspective and learn some proven tools for understanding the roots of students’ behaviour. We will also explore the essential role of relationship and rapport building as it relates to setting our students and ourselves up for success. We invite you to come open your mind, attempt to stand in others’ shoes and to capture new tools, perspectives and information.
This workshop is ideal for Educators of all kinds, Youth Workers, Counsellors and Addictions Practitioners. It is available as a One-Day session or in its abbreviated form as a 3 hour P.D. Day session.

40 Proven Ingredients for Success
Helping Youth Build Life Assets
Life Asset Building is all about helping youth to learn new skills and to gather essential experiences that have the power to support them in becoming happier, more confident and successful people. School Boards and Service Agencies throughout North America have begun to embrace Life Asset Building as a holistic blue-print to help catalyze greater capacity and resilience for their students and clients.
As a Trainer with this body of work, Co-Founder Tony Cox works in innovative ways with the 40 Developmental Assets for youth as promoted by the Search Institute in Minneapolis. 35 years of research have statistically shown that as young people acquire a greater number of these important, identified Life Assets that they are dramatically more likely to positively navigate young adult choices and less likely to engage in at-risk lifestyles or behaviours.
Join us as we explore the very tangible ways you can be supporting youth to acquire these essential ingredients for success in your daily life, in the classroom or in your practice. Through engaging activities, thought-provoking storytelling and lively lecture pieces, participants will come away inspired with some solid tools for supporting youth.
This workshop is ideal for Educators of all kinds, Youth Workers, Counsellors, Classroom Teachers and Addictions Practitioners. It is available as a One-Day session or in its abbreviated form as a 3 hour P.D. Day session.
