As an in person program, Unleash Your Inner Entrepreneur is an interactive workshop that takes place over the course of two hours.

“How to Impact the World” (10-15 Minutes)

Theme #1: Your anger and frustration are gifts. They signify your emotional compass pointing you towards the kinds of problems you’re uniquely designed to solve. “Be angry and sin not…” The goal isn’t to pretend like you’re happy all the time. The goal is to find out what your anger is teaching you and figure out a way to harness it for good.

Theme #2: Leadership is the willingness to access personal responsibility for the changes you want to see in the world. If something is wrong, somebody needs to do something about it, and that “somebody” is you.

Group Exercise/Activity #1 (30 minutes)

T.K. leads the participants in a guided discussion on how to harness emotional experiences as creative energy. Then, students are broken out into smaller groups to discuss how these principles can be applied to their own lives.

Part II — Discovering Your Superpower for Success: Learning and applying the gifts that set you apart from the crowd (1 hour)

“How to Impact the World” (10-15 Minutes)

Theme #1: The best way to get what you want is to help other people get what they want. The power of service.

Theme #2: Everyone has unique tastes and talents that can be combined in exciting ways. This is your superpower. If you learn how to harness this superpower, it will give you a competitive advantage in the marketplace, and it will help you create the results that matter most to you through value-creation.

Exercise #2:  Group Exercise/Activity #2 (30 minutes)

T.K. leads the participants in a guided discussion on their respective comparative advantage, or "superpowers". Then, students are broken out into smaller groups to discuss how these principles impact their lives-- and how they can use this information to their advantage.

Final Segment: Question and Answer session with T.K. (15-30 minutes)

As a webinar, teachers can choose one of either session (or book two webinars for their class) and TK will engage students via a Zoom meeting. The interactive small group sessions are conducted through Zoom breakouts.

For in person programs, we have a minimum of 50 student attendees and are very flexible with our maximum.

For Zoom, our minimum is 10 student attendees. Because our curriculum is interactive and uses break out rooms via Zoom meetings, it is ideal to keep the group to 98 or less per session. However, we can host multiple sessions for a group if they have many students, and can explore Zoom webinars that are less interactive* for very large groups.

*Zoom webinars still offer a Q&A feature

Using the same amount of resources, Portugal can produce either two drill presses or seven embroidered tablecloths.
