Personal Goal Setting in Ivory Park

At last… we’ve been threatening for a while to step up the non-academic aspect of Ivory Park’s Saturday IkamvaYouth sessions and we were able to take our first step in this direction on Saturday as Danny Naidoo led the learners through one of the fundamental components of improving one’s personal effectiveness: GOAL SETTING.

Danny presented a step-by-step account of what this might entail and spoke about identifying goals for one’s life and the resilience and perseverance that is essential for achieving these goals. Over the next few weeks we’ll be looking to build on this goal setting framework and provide opportunities for Ikamvanites to identify the areas they most want to target in their own lives.

To a large extent we are using these sessions as an experimental opportunity to identify where the learners find value with a non-academic focus. If you are interested in contributing in this area then find the branch nearest to you and get in touch. Basically if you have a talent or a gift that you’d like to share that is something other than tutoring then why not try it out.

So to prospective artists, creative types, life coaches, motivational speakers, drama fundi’s, etc – come join us.

My first Strategic Planning Workshop for IkamvaYouth

My first Strategic Planning Workshop for IkamvaYouth

 

 Before I attended my first Strategic Planning Workshop for IkamvaYouth, I was kinda apprehensive, not knowing what kind of people to expect…it only took a fraction of a second to realise that Ikamvanites from other provinces are such open minded people, free spirited, passionate about the improvement and development of an African child’s education.

The whole session can be easily summed up as sharpening of our skills to advance the objectives and programmes of IkamvaYouth. Big up to all the Ikamvanites who renewed their commitments to the vision of IkamvaYouth South Africa.
