Great Minds Dont Think Alike

  • 100 years of psychology has taught us only what
    makes us unhappywhy not study and discover what
    makes one happy?

Vision
Attitude Is Everything
  • Defining our children's minds not just through
    standardize testing but actually finding what
    their strengths and weaknesses are. Focusing on
    their abilities and guiding them into the
    direction of success.

  • The goal of this project is to build on the basic
    concepts of the LifePrep, by utilizing the
    measuring system of the Kolbe Index, and the tool
    box of The Strategic Coach.

The Concept
Its not who we are that holds us back, its who
we think were not. -Michael Nolan

Life Prep
  • High school students are primed to get into the
    best possible colleges or land lucrative jobs.
    Some institutions even call themselves college
    prep schools. The term is most often a
    euphemisms for college admissions prep. Why not
    life prep? Dont we need to prepare our kids
    for the tough demands of adult life? I believe so

7
Vision of LifePrep
  • To identify the students strengths, weaknesses,
    talents, and abilities in an academic
    environment.
  • To encourage and cultivate weaknesses but to
    create a path for a student to pursue their
    strengths and passions

    qualities

    college admission but for life skills

10

  • Potential Curriculum ethics, civility,
    etiquette, citizenship, ecology, financial
    planning, interviewing skills, brainstorming,
    critical thinking, reasoning, logic, public
    speaking, and business ethics

11
Service

Finding success through service
12
Vocation

    that complies with their strengths weaknesses and
    ability

The Kolbe System Vision
  • To change the way people think.
  • To remove them from the mindset that they have to
    accomplish something one particular way

18
Kolbe System
  • A system of aptitude tests that reveals ones
    strengths, weaknesses, talents and abilities.
  • These tests provide different levels for
    different ages,
  • -IF Index for younger, Y Index for
    teenage, A Index for 18 plus
  • Does not show ones learned behavior or
    personality traits, but shows ones instinctive
    abilities. People instinctively want to be happy.

19
The Index
  • This aptitude test would be administered four
    different times during ones school career
  • - Lower School
  • - first grade - Y1 index
  • - Middle School
  • - fifth grade - Y Index
  • - Upper School twice
  • - freshmen year - Y index
  • - senior year - A index

20
The Index
  • Teachers would also take the Index
  • -Would take the A index
  • This would allow students to be placed with
    advisors\teachers with similar abilities and
    strengths.
  • Allowing more productivity and confidence by
    students in the classrooms

reality, your life is not something you find-its

    concepts to maximize ones strengths abilities and
    talents.

    System and The 21 Day Gratitude Concept.

24
The Unique Ability
Those on top of the mountain didnt fall there

-Marcus Washling
25
Unique Ability
  • Ask yourself what am I good at? What are my
    special talents? What do I like to do?
  • Begin to discover your special talents and skills
    and try to work more in your area of Unique
    Ability and delegate or isolate yourself from
    the tasks you lack skill in
  • Any activity you take part in can be categorized
    into four groups

26
You have superior skills in activities you love
to do- more confidence
You only contain mediocre skills in these areas
and your skill level never rises
UNIQUE ABILITY
EXCELLENT
COMPETENT
You have superior skills in this activity But no
passion to do these activities
  • activities your often experience failure,
    frustration, and stress. Activites you dread
    doing, because you dont want to do them

INCOMPETENT
