When I was a teen, I had an uncle who, at every family gathering, asked me what I wanted to do with my life. No surprise, I never liked him, because I had NO idea what I wanted to do! Not one. Sound familiar?Even when I got to college, I declared my major on the last possible day allowed to still graduate.I was a good student and I had a serious work ethic, but my North Star was not very bright. I guess you could say I was a little directionless.This is not unusual.Most young adults have big dreams but they are not taught how to connect to them or how to connect to themselves. Like most teens, I repeatedly asked myself questions like: Am I good enough? Am I smart enough? Am I athletic enough? Am I thin enough? Am I funny enough? Am I studying enough? Am I going to make it in this big, bad world?” I had no idea the answer to any of these questions since I hadn’t been taught how to think about who I wanted to be. Now, as a Staff Coach at HG, I teach The Handel Method to high schoolers and it should come as no surprise that one of my favorite activities is to have students ditch the question “Am I?” for good!It’s no mean feat, and I spend weeks with them building up to it. First, I have students connect to their hearts and write a dream for 12 key areas of their life (e.g. Friends, Career, Time, Family).I have them investigate their inner dialogue – the voices of fear (the chicken), impulsivity (the brat), and powerlessness (the weather reporter) – and I have them look at their limiting beliefs, excuses, and personality traits.They learn how to show up as a leader (a One) instead of a reactor (a Two), and also how to communicate with grace and wisdom. By the end of this curriculum, they are ready to replace “Am I?” with the much more confident and bold “I AM _______ (fill in the blank with something they want to stand for).” Powerful, huh? Hell yeah it is!Just wait until you read below to see the bold things they filled in that blank...
