Evidence supports the theories propagated by renowned psychologists like Erik Erikson: real personality forming learning occurs during the ages of four to thirteen years. Our programs focus on these age groups to ensure that these formative years enable an internalizing of leaderkid and social skills concepts.

LeaderKid Academy team of experts have created a well-balanced “Leaderkid Persona” model comprising of ten key Leadership & 21st Century Social Emotional learning competencies/knowledge areas; an outcome of years of academic research, experimentation, professional learning, guidance & research.

“Leaderkid Persona”

Our Ten key focus areas are:
Ethical mindset | Communication skills | Collaboration skills | Presentation skills | Assertive behavior | Emotional intelligence | Change management | Project management | Resilience & perseverance | Creativity & innovation

To ensure an enhanced learning and internalization of key concepts, our programs are structured to be delivered leveraging the ICL (Interpret, Connect, and Lead) Model. The “ICL model” is delivered in four key phases of learning and is embedded with continuous improvement process to ensure on-going relevance and efficacy.

Our mentors are trained experts who partner with kids to empower them with a “Leaderkid Persona” that creates a sense of connectedness, enabling an understanding of situational dynamics to enhance understanding and learning of contexts, influencers and outcomes.
