More Information on the Kikass Quest.
The lovely people at Rapport magazine have kindly donated advertising space for kikass to shout all about the Kikass coaching revolution. Click here to read the advert and for more information.
Ever wondered what would happen if every young person in the UK was trained in NLP?
What social issues could be a thing of the past? Obesity, depression, debt, bullying, stabbings, binge drinking, teen pregnancy, gang culture? Could education be a thing of joy, rather than the traumatic experience it is now for so many young people? Could ordinary young people with low aspirations be challenged to do extraordinary things?
If there was a charity on a mission to bring about these changes, would you want to be part of the adventure?
We hope so; because there’s some exciting work to be done. Kikass has built an enviable reputation as one of the UK’s most innovative and engaging youth charities. Over the past seven years we’ve noticed that so many of the issues mentioned above have their roots deep inside the core of a young person – their confidence, their self-esteem, their self efficacy and of course their beliefs. Increasingly we’ve grown tired of sticking plasters over the symptoms and are now on a mission to bring about deep level transformation.
Already to this end we’re offering free 20 day NLP Practitioner trainings to young people and building an army of NLP coaches. We’ve also been experimenting with Fire Walking, Arrows and Board Breaking with exciting results. In addition to this work direct with 16-26 year olds, we’re training youth workers, arming them with the NLP and coaching skills to make an even more powerful difference to their charges.
But it shouldn’t stop there. We’re continuing to scour the world for the best tools, techniques and amazing people who can help us in this mission. If you like what we’re up to and want to hear more, or maybe think you can add value to our adventure then please get in touch. To stimulate your thinking, but please don’t let it limit you, here are few areas in which you may be able to help:
Trainers:
We’re building a pool of dynamic, charismatic NLP Trainers who have a passion for bringing out the best in young people (freelance or pro bono).
Content Development Champions:
If you’re passionate about co-creating & enhancing the materials that inform our NLP adventures, were looking for volunteers to work with our Head trainer to help shape our content and develop new courses.
Fundraising and Professional Services:
Could you help us write bids or do you know someone who might be interested in helping us fund this adventure? Maybe you can help us save money by gaining us access to a free training space, or can offer professional services to support our mission.
Assistants/Mentors & Coaching Support:
Could you assist on our programmes or mentor the participants? We’ll also soon be looking for a freelance coach to administer and manage our network of young coaches.
Admin Services:
Kikass operates a virtual model, keeping us cost effective and light on our feet. We’re looking for a high quality freelance administrator to join the team to handle everything from initial enquiries to course administration.
Advisors and Patrons:
Kikass is a learning journey. We need help in answering big questions, like: ‘How can you consistently move young people from effect to cause?’ To do this we need the advice and encouragement of key NLP leaders and thinkers, and would love to welcome any to our cause. You know who you are.
