“Great leaders DO follow; their dreams, their hearts, and their sense of purpose.” — Dr. Robyn Silverman – Kapatid Martial Arts’ Child Development Expert
September 2010 is Leadership Month as part of Kapatid Martial Arts’ POWerful Words Character Development program! Students will be studying, developing and experiencing powerful life lessons focusing on developing their leadership skills in fun and exciting ways. In addition to all of the physical skills that they’ll be working on this month, students will be discussing and practicing the following concepts that will help them to realize and appreciate the value and benefit of becoming a leader. Students will be focusing on the following topics both in and out of class:
- What is a leader, what does a leader do, and why do we need them?
- Leadership Skills: Group goals and taking initiative
- Leadership Skills: Listening and communicating effectively
- Leadership Skills: Weighing pros and cons and taking responsibility
“We all want our children to be leaders instead of mindless followers. We want them to know what they want and go after it– and inspire others to do the same.” says Dr. Robyn Silverman, Kapatid Martial Arts’ child & adolescent expert, and creator of the POWerful Words Character Development program used at the facility. “As a Powerful Words academy, we also want to make sure that everyone– from children to teens to adults– understand that being a leader is not about being closed mined and stubborn but rather about being goal-oriented, respectful, compassionate and open minded.”
Patrick Consing, Executive Director of Kapatid Martial Arts says, “Leadership is one of the primary tenets that we are proud to help our students develop here at our school. We’re really excited about being able to focus an entire month on Leadership…especially since it’s back to school time. We aim to empower our students with the skills necessary for them to take their roles as leaders at school, at other activities, and of course, here at our academy.
Kapatid Martial Arts’ strong curriculum and the POWerful Words Character Development system provide our students with the opportunities to become UNSTOPPABLE in life. These lessons will remain with our students for life and we’re honored to help them achieve the success that they deserve” says Consing.
