Leadership & Communication
Village Consultancy empowers families to navigate challenges and unlock their children's potential through effective leadership and communication strategies. We guide parents in recognizing their children's unique giftedness, transforming family stress into a harmonious environment.
Utilizing the DISC-style Youth Exploratory Report, we help identify and nurture children's strengths, providing a roadmap for their growth. Recognizing the complexities of the teenage season, we equip parents with a new mindset and communication approach to support their children's independence and identity development.
Our sessions delve into the teenage brain, offering practical tips and fostering open dialogue with teens to understand their perspectives. By fostering these skills, we aim to build strong, resilient families.
Who is it for?
The Leadership & Communication workshops empowers parents with essential leadership and communication skills to foster stronger, more meaningful connections with their children.
Through the Maxwell Leadership Training and Maxwell DISC Method, parents will learn to recognize their children's unique strengths, understand behavioural cues, and adapt their parenting approach to support growth and resilience.
Maxwell DISC Method
The DISC online assessment helps parents analyze their child's unique personality and behavioral traits, offering insights into how they communicate, handle challenges, and respond to motivation. By understanding whether their child leans toward Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, or Conscientiousness, parents can tailor their approach to foster better connections, reduce conflicts, and create a supportive environment that nurtures their child's strengths and personal growth.
Hear from Leanne Lee
I once heard Carol Loi say that when a child encounters something uncomfortable, whether it’s an inappropriate content or a situation that makes them feel unsure, the most important thing is not to interrogate or immediately fix.
The first job is simply to keep the channel open, so they’ll keep telling you things in the future.
Last night at dinner, my daughter told us about a friend who had bitten her in school - something that had happened a while back.
My husband immediately went into fact-finding mode:
When did this happen? If it happened, why weren’t we told? Did it really happen?
In my head, I was asking the same questions. I even asked her when it happened, but I caught myself before going further.
And instead, I switched gears. I said:
“Thank you for telling me.”
Immediately, I saw her relax. She didn’t speak fast, she wasn’t overwhelmed by all the questioning. She felt safe.
It made me think about how often we do this with the adults around us - at work, with friends, even with ourselves. We rush to analyse, verify, defend, fix. But stories don’t always need solving. Sometimes they just need room.
Creating psychological safety starts at home. It starts at the dinner table. And sometimes, it starts with: “Thank you for telling me.”
Topics Covered:
From Family Stressed To Family Best - Connecting To Our Children's Giftedness
Every child has his or her areas of giftedness. How can we have a less stressful family through really connecting to our children's giftedness? This sessions introduces a way to recognize some behavior characteristics in our children, the characteristics that could indicate they are under pressure, what could be a great motivator for them and a way to connect with them using loving statements that speak to an area of their giftedness.
Discovering Our Strengths
We will be using the DISC-style Youth Exploratory Report of the Maxwell Leadership certified team, which mirrors the behavioral and personality assessment used by many corporations. Identifying our children's strengths can help us to focus on what they are gifted in and what makes their personality pop. The information in the report can help parents to nurture their strengths and guide them into the fullness of their potential by providing them with a roadmap in areas to focus on for their growth.
Supporting Your Child Through The Teenage Season
The teenage season may be the most unpleasant season of parenting or education. This season is when teen children are discovering their independence, identity, and place in the world, both online and offline. In this time, what is required is a different parenting mindset and communication approach. What role do parents and educators play in providing foundations for teen children in this season? This session will cover how children's brains change through the teen years and provide practical tips on supporting them to be strong as they grow. Participants will also get to have conversations with teenagers to hear their perspectives.
