Leadership Development

Simply put, leadership development is an effort that enhances the learner's capacity to lead people. Leading is setting direction and guiding others to follow that direction. A critical skill for leaders is the ability to manage their own learning.

Anger Management

Above & Beyond Foundation 4 Education want teens to understand that anger is a natural human emotion and is nature's way of empowering us to "defend" our perception of an attack or threat to our well being. Anger is not the problem; the problem is mismanaging and not being aware of anger. Mismanaged and not understanding anger and rage is the major cause of conflict in our personal and professional relationships. Domestic abuse, road rage, workplace violence, divorce, and addiction are just a few examples of what happens when anger is mismanaged.

The goal of anger management is to be aware when anger is overcoming rational thinking, how to remove yourself from the source of the anger and to reduce both your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. You can't get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage you, nor can you change them, but you can learn to control your reactions.
