The YOUNG PEOPLE’S Signature Strengths® Coaching Program

Supporting Student Re-Engagement… an opportunity for a paradigm shift, away from Struggle to Strength and from Angst to Achievement!

“Disengagement is a ‘behaviour’ that invariably limits potential and negatively affects wellbeing. Sometimes disengagement can be involuntary, subconscious, or conscious. Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, and…

What we now know, is that all behaviour has a cause, a reason, and outcomes that deserve a solution-oriented address. Identifying ’cause’ can be liberating.” Karelynne Randall.

The Young People’s program is rapport-based, to nurture Student Voice and Agency. MBL’s highly interactive process incorporates visual resources (*CCS Cards) to stimulate conversation, create self-awareness, and consider guidance,

Responsible decision-making about learning engagement is strengthened, measured and reviewed via the Goal Accountability & Achievement Plan™.

The plan and process builds ‘response-ability’, Together, we acknowledge barriers to learning, and address issues to strengthen student outcomes. (Aligned with Independent Plans (IP), Quality Differentiated Teaching Plans (QDTP) and Indigenous students’ Personalised Learning Plans.)

MBL’s practice addresses ‘cause’, towards realising true purpose, identifying benefits of resolution and applying practical solutions.

Signature Strengths® identification positions positive core values as ‘motivational drivers’ to support clarity in decision-making, and transformational change.

Consultation is available in private practice, and alongside education professionals in school settings. Together we:

Collaborate to facilitate expression of challenges.

“Using the *CCS cards makes it easier to say what I’m thinking; sometimes things I didn’t realise I could say! I can identify the feelings that I want to move away from, and those I want to move towards, because that’s who I really want to be.” Carl 16

Identify Signature Strengths® to help express ‘student voice and develop agency’, to proactively address challenges, accountability, and resolve concerns.

“Ms. Randall, thank you for your support during my final years at school, helping me realise my strengths, teaching me the importance of resilience, and especially helping me know that my challenges don’t define me.” James 17

Develop a Goal Accountability & Achievement Plan™, to improve self-regulation, strengthen response-ability, and experience the benefits of self-leadership.

“The ‘ladder’ in my Goal Accountability & Achievement Plan™, helped me make specific decisions, ‘one step at a time’ because I could focus on clear communication, to collaborate with teachers, and make new friends. I can see I am adaptable to change, and I know how I can be heard.” Trent 15

When students hear…

“I believe you know more than you think you do, and I believe you can do more than you think you can” … an innate connection to self-belief and curiosity can occur. Acknowledgement and appreciation, can mean the world to a young person!

Let’s collaborate to re-engage students in education, develop healthy individuals, inspire life-long learning, and create more opportunities for young people!

[ In my work I acknowledge the immediate and long-term effects of Adverse Childhood/Life Experiences (ACEs), and the benefits of individual Signature Strengths® identification; the values formed during Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs), that when focused upon, are found to be profoundly supportive of health, wellbeing, and academic progress.]

Professional Growth

THE PROFESSIONAL’S Signature Strengths® Program

For those who seek to move beyond (perhaps unidentified) barriers, causing limitations that impose upon role performance and, career advancement.

Through Signature Strengths® identification, we explore potential barriers to progress, then focus on transfer of positive personal values, to align with organisational values, improving productivity and enhancing career pathways.

‘The secret of effectiveness is to understand yourself, and the people you work with, so you can make use of all innate and transferable strengths.’
Peter Drucker – Harvard Business School.

It’s my mission, to help people benefit from understanding what values are, and how they work, to become decisive about discarding misplaced or unproductive values.

Values are feelings, attitudes, and beliefs, formed during significant life events.

Together, without blame or shame, we acknowledge that some items in a ‘values collective’ may not be so positive, and no longer be of service. Together, we focus on identifying productive values that originate from Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs), to become your motivational, Signature Strengths®.

‘When problems arise, 9/10 the cause is not knowing how values work.
The solution is, to acknowledge the strength of positive values, and realise the benefits.’ Karelynne Randall

Acknowledging and applying the strength of your values, is a delightful way to:

• Build self-awareness and nurture wellbeing
• Increase self-belief to improve self-confidence, and
• Strengthen self-leadership, to enhance clarity of decision-making in the workplace.,

Not so well-known, or widely recognised are the lasting effects of Significant Emotional Events (S.E.E. Prof. Morris Massey-sociologist) and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs – Dr. Vincent Felitti – MD – The Kaiser Permanente Study). Neurological patterns created in response to ACEs, can form deeply entrenched, subconscious and, unhelpful reactionary patterns.

*What I want you to know to your benefit, is that Your Signature Strengths® were present long before any intrusive, interruptive, or traumatic life-events. They are your innate, positive, core-values and when identified as long-standing strengths, they can be the catalyst to a breakthrough experience of wellbeing, performance improvement, and achievement.

In working personally with you, or with teams, individual Signature Strengths® are identified, establishing more about ‘who you are, and all you can be personally and professionally‘.

Let's begin a CONFIDENTIAL CONVERSATION

Speaking - My Story | Your Story | Our Story™… Time To Speak!

‘Why We Are, Who We Are!’

Today is the first day of the rest of my life, your life, and our lives.
To seek why you are who you are, and decide how you choose to be, matters.
To move away from secrets, to survival and strength, is to transform fear to flourishing!

‘Moving Beyond Limitations’ is a mantra of choice.

One that can be exceptionally supportive, during a life-long journey of positive self-discovery, healing, and achievement. An intriguing, journey of important discovery, that has helped me realise ‘why and how, who I am, and how I can choose to be!’

‘My Story’ is not all about me! That wouldn’t be purposeful or productive.

I speak in truth, with sincerity and sensitivity, no self-blame or shame, never to deny accountability and always to be of service to others.
I speak to create ‘a force for awareness and action’ towards change in how society values and supports healthy child, adolescent and adult development.
I speak to help protect and empower people to liberate themselves; the unborn, the newborns, children, young people and adults, who may unknowingly be affected by interrupted lives, causing patterns of unhelpful, limiting beliefs, learned through the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences. (ACEs)

I share my story, because together with greater awareness, we can facilitate positive, holistic, healthy individual development. These are the adults, who all were children (you, me, and others), who deserve to ‘thrive personally and flourish professionally.’

As an audience, you will be invited enter into the world of a child who bore the impact, and weight in consequences of ACEs, that formed deeply ingrained values (feelings, attitudes, and beliefs), causing extreme hyper-vigilance, persistent subconscious ‘struggle’ to thrive and limitations to flourish.

I had never considered myself as being a child victim of Domestic (Family) Violence, physical or emotional abuse, because incessant manipulation and fear, disallowed any thought that would alienate my intense desire to ’belong.’

That was, until I sought professional help to learn, discover and be acknowledged, for all that I needed and deserved to make sense of ‘why I am, who I am.’

Time reveals truth. “Karelynne, I don’t know how you’re sane.’ PH – Psychologist.

For so long, even though I continue to achieve, and I wholeheartedly acknowledge my PCEs, I had been living with unrealised limitations, those that placed significant stressors on my mental health, physical wellbeing, and personal relationships.

I am a fierce advocate of abuse prevention. I acknowledge the evidence of ACEs, and a I’m a determined promoter of PCEs, in support of Post Traumatic Growth.

Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) are what MBL identifies as your Signature Strengths®. They are the positive core values (present prior to interruptive, invasive, and traumatic events) that have kept me alive, despite some overwhelming challenges, and by choice, they are the reason I thrive!

“We deserve not to be what happened to us,

we deserve to be what we wish to become.”
Carl Jung.

My legacy in speaking, is for society to become more acutely aware of the effects of adverse experiences upon our children, young people and even as adults, with the highest intention to help heal and live with deserved wellbeing.
