Ships that wait for perfect winds never sail.

Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant.

Athletes who wait for the perfect condition never train.

Perfection halts progress. It will only guarantee that you will miss the ‘perfect moment’.

The perfect moment to make a postive start is always now.

#mindset #youngpeople #community #aspirations

⭐️ Service to others

⭐️ Working together to help learn and grow

⭐️ These young people have BIG aspirations

⭐️ We have no doubt they will achieve

⭐️ Look the part feel the part

A positive mindset without limits allows us to take that first step. We often start from nothing, but we keep moving forward, because every great journey begins with a single step. We never stop along the journey, because the purpose and the passion is far greater than any setback or obstacle. We stay true to ourselves, focus on positive action, and stay consistent in the pursuit.

Tenacious, determined, hard-working and capable are a few words to describe this young man. A definite winner in the loading and working together to help progress 🤝

Our personalised 1-2-1 employability support aims to equip young people with the necessary skills, confidence and mindset needed to help them progress into work.

We help young people to realise their potential and to focus on their strengths. Enabling us to showcase young people’s qualities through their CV’s, job applications and interviews.

We know that the employment landscape is ultra competitive, so we provide step-by-step guidance. Aiming to give young people confidence and self-belief. Helping them to stand out from the crowd and making young people attractive to prospective employers.

Teamwork 🤝 💫

We delivered one of our smaller focused sessions to a group of 7 young people.

These young gents were a pleasure to work with, and we look forward to continuing to support them. We did a deep dive on some hot topics and here’s what we learnt as a group…

⭐️ Look the part, feel the part.

⭐️ Knowledge is power and confidence is the fuel for positive action.

⭐️ Thrive to be in a position of unquestioned ability.

⭐️ Be confident and back yourself to have inner knowledge that you are capable.

⭐️ Aside from external factors, know your value and know who you are.

⭐️ Be brave enough to be bad at something new, learn and grow.

🚀

It was a pleasure working with these young gents today. So many insightful discussions around confidence, goals, aspirations, careers, and of course - fresh trims 💈✂️ 💫

Self-Worth - Feel the Part 🧠 🏆

#youngpeople #confidence #wellbeing

⭐️ The Construction and Trades sector are often popular choices for many of our young people who aspire to work. So we teamed up with fellow Stokie @scott_diy to help encourage and provide an insight to our young people on how they can apply themselves to excel at their career aspirations.

⭐️ Confidence is a position of unquestioned ability. It’s inner knowledge that you are capable!

⭐️ Thanks to Scott’s insight - during our sessions, young people grasped the importance of confidence, being real and authentic, having ambition and passion for success. We look forward to teaming up with Scott again 🤝

You might not see it or feel it but keep telling yourself enough times that it’s possible - rewire your mind 🧠🏆💫

2023 has been great! We have been blessed to meet so many underprivileged young people from our communities in Stoke-on-Trent. It’s been challenging at times, slightly heated too, but plenty of great work and conversations have taken place. It’s amazing when we work together how much can be achieved. Shout out to every single young person who has had the courage to work with us to try and be BETTER. There’s plenty more talented young people in our city and we look forward to working together in 2024 💫

Our recent community outreach sessions have been focusing on personal resilience. So we asked young people to think of solutions that would support their wellbeing. After lots of productive and interesting conversations with 42 young people, we picked out the top 5 solutions and characteristics.

⭐️ Patience
⭐️ Standing up for yourself
⭐️ Being in control
⭐️ Forgiveness
⭐️ Compassion

Teamwork - @feelthepart_ 🤝 @shabaz_maverick_masoud

Shabaz ‘The Maverick’ Masood is a young and hungry world champion in the making. Representing our city of Stoke-on-Trent, Shabaz has an undisputed level of discipline, hard work and self-belief. In the hugely congested and ultra competitive world of boxing, Shabaz is fueling his confidence and making moves.

We appreciate Shabaz highlighting the importance of confidence to our young people when it comes to hard work, consistency and ACTION.

Marcus Garvey once said - If you have no confidence in self you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence you have won even before you have started.

It’s so much simpler when we translate our thoughts into positive action 💫

We ain’t here to impress no one other than ourselves 💫

Teamwork - @feelthepart_ 🤝 @je_ldnm

James Exton is a successful multiple business owner, someone with immense drive, discipline and passion for success, health and wellbeing. But above all, he’s a great guy who is genuinely passionate about helping people to reach their potential.

Which is why we wanted our young people to hear first hand, why confidence and self-belief are the real drivers for positive change and progress.

During our ⭐️ Feel the Business ⭐️ workshops with young people where we work on goals, aspirations and personal strengths amongst other aspects. James provided a powerful insight into his journey to success which was underpinned by confidence and self-belief, including knowing what steps needed to be taken to fuel his confidence and self-belief.

From the workshops, young people acknowledged two key themes which were:

⭐️ Being in a position of unquestioned ability
⭐️ Inner knowledge that you are capable

Thank you James and we look forward to working with you again 🤝

One Day or Day One?

This is Day One! - Let’s start today to chase those goals 💫

When we look the part we Feel the Part!

Thats because of the strong psychological connection between how we perceive ourselves and the subsequent emotions we feel thereafter.

When we appreciate ourselves we create bundles of self-esteem and confidence - this is what helps us to move forward and thrive as human beings.

In the case of Jasmin! She felt low, lacked confidence, had self-doubt, worried about what other people thought and therefore had insecurities.

We supported Jasmin in our flagship project Look the Part Feel the Part. We offered the following support:

⭐️ Haircut, styling and blow-dry
⭐️ 1-2-1 wellbeing coaching
⭐️ Self help techniques
⭐️ Encouraging positive thinking
⭐️ Recognising personal qualities
⭐️ Chitchat, laughter and good vibes

We discovered that Jasmin is a hidden gem. With a caring personality and she’s a stronger character than she thought.

We also learnt that sometimes we take simple things for granted, especially when we have unlimited resources at our fingertips. However in Jasmin’s case, she was thrilled and overwhelmed following her haircut session, this opened the door to help us talk about her wellbeing and confidence.

For us, seeing Jasmin smile and feel better about herself is a great result. We hope she continues to smile and grow 💫

Leon’s Journey!

He was an underachiever blessed with lots of ability and intellect, however he found it difficult to recognise and really harness his skills. This was largely down to his low-self esteem, somewhat challenging upbringing and a lack of stable friendships.

We worked with Leon across a 4 week period to help create a supportive and self-reflective experience. We spoke to Leon on a level, kept things simple, listened and respected his thoughts, whilst encouraging him to express his concerns and subsequent ambitions and interests.

After a few sessions, Leon knew he could speak openly to us and as a result, we were able to see some progress which was amazing. We also used some self-rated wellbeing measures to help demonstrate Leon’s progress, here were some highlights:

✅ Recognition of his own skills which included verbal communication, positive and kind nature, accountability, desire to progress and creative thinking
✅ Felt more optimistic and focused on his goals, some of which included playing football again, making time to exercise and improving his sleeping pattern
✅ Felt more aware of his mental wellbeing and self-care methods to help his resilience
✅ Felt more confident with himself and understood the importance of building and maintaining good friendships. By making effort to spend quality social time
✅ Felt more confident with budgeting and spending his money wisely to help support his hobbies and interests

Leon’s journey continues but most importantly - we want Leon to Feel the Part! 💫

Meet Jess!

She had some personal challenges and struggled to find head space to manage her emotions and wellbeing. She often felt overwhelmed when making decisions and therefore experienced difficulties to feel upbeat and to progress towards her goals of studying at college.

We worked with Jess for a period of 5 weeks to help improve her wellbeing and aspirations in the following ways:

⭐️ 1-2-1 wellbeing coaching
⭐️ Deep dive on confidence
⭐️ Deep dive on healthy lifestyles
⭐️ CV, application & interview practice

We are really pleased to share that Jess is in a much better frame of mind and has shown some great progression - here are the main highlights:

✅ Understands where her confidence comes from, how it relates to her wellbeing, and the importance of maintaining it on a daily basis
✅ Feels independent and more in control of her wellbeing and emotions
✅ Works part time in retail whilst studying at college
✅ Keeps a checklist on her busy days to help stay organised
✅ Recognises her strengths and understands how this will help her to progress personally and professionally
✅ Most important of all, she feels good about herself!

The door is always open for Jess, and the team wish her continued success and happiness 💫
