“In-sense” Mission StatEment:

Help teenagers explore, understand and develop:
 skills, values and character
to help them contribute to society in a way that
fulfils their sense of purpose.

Key impact Areas:

  1. Behaviour Management

  2. Well being

  3. Applied Wisdom as a Meta-Virtue

Then depth and emphasis changes as the relevance does from the age of 14 to 18 and the workshops reflect this.

Our Experience:

My wife and I have been mentoring teenagers and young adults since 2004 in these three valuable areas and are completing a Diploma in Coaching and Mentoring with Warwick University.

Teenage years are an optimum time for inquisition and so naturally it is an experimental stage in all areas of life.

In-Sense provides a framework to optimise this natural process of development looking at the key areas of identity, self-worth, relationships and exploring purpose in society… essentially the physico-psycho-social aspects of life!

in-sense Syllabus modules:

  1. Centricity:
    Exploring the importance of our identity as what we gravitate around (centricity) and how it effects all aspects of our life from self-worth, relationships and purpose in society.

  2. Internal Identity:
    Exploring character, virtue and vice and the states of pleasure, happiness and satisfaction to develop a strong sense of self worth.

  3. My Internal Voice:
    Understanding the importance of self talk and its tone as well as the development of intra-personal skills and their impact.

  4. My External Voice:
    Exploring communication, connection and conflict resolution in different settings such as friendship, family and institutions such as schools and societies.

  5. Many Arrows, One Bow:

    Understanding the variety of virtues available but the skill of their application, is a skill to be developed based on time, place and circumstance known as applied wisdom.

  6. From Talent to Competence to Success:
    Creating a template to take talent and skills to a state of competence and then success by the practice of discipline.

  7. From Worthless to Purpose:
    Exploring feelings of worthlessness and usefulness as a scale. Reviewing the processes of becoming useful to increase our worth in a way to be utilised by society and thus fulfil the potential of our purpose.

  8. Financial Literacy:

    Create a foundational understanding of finances to create a healthy relationship with money.
