Self-Advocacy for Teens

Develop the skill of negotiating. Be better prepared for life.

Everything is a negotiation. Even self-advocacy is a negotiation. Teens who master this skill gain the upper hand in life. Are your teens prepared to advocate for themselves with

• Teachers
• School Administrators
• Bosses
• Employers
• Doctors
• Friends
• And even you?

Do they have the skills necessary to navigate peer pressure gracefully and confidently?

Are they confident when approaching teachers to discuss their educational needs?

Do they know how to negotiate job offers and salaries?

Even more importantly, are they aware that everything is negotiable?

Make sure your teen is prepared for their best life by giving them the gift of negotiation skills. Self-advocacy skills last a lifetime and the better they are at this, the more they will gain in life.

Participants will gain

• Confidence in advocating for themselves
• Negotiation Skills for all scenarios

Enroll in an eight-week live, online course with a small group. 

These small groups allow everyone ample time to give and receive feedback after mock negotiations. Each week, your teen will learn different techniques and immediately have the opportunity to practice with a partner. Towards the end of the course, the negotiations will become more complex, and your teen will experience a multi-party negotiation.

The classes cover:

• Negotiation Strategies
• Tips on Managing Your Emotions
• Negotiation Role-Play with a Partner
• Group Negotiation Role-Play
• Observation of Other Negotiations

Participants will gain:

• An understanding of how to listen deeply
• Confidence to go into any difficult conversation with ease
