What is Personal Responsibility?

Nothing is more important to personal success than the ability to set, manage, and achieve personal goals. This new assessment and skill enhancement system focuses on core skills related to self-determination.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY puts the emphasis where it belongs, on the individual. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY puts the focus on the ability to set clear, attainable goals and then to manage oneself to the successful completion of these goals. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY helps users sort through how well they accept responsibility for their own actions-whether they are successful or not. When failure occurs, do people in your organization or program procrastinate, blame others, and then engage in victim thinking? If they do, then our PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY program will help them overcome these self-defeating behaviors and teach them the skills of personal responsibility and self-determination.

Why Emotional Intelligence?

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is a learned ability to identify, experience, understand and express human emotions in healthy and productive ways. Emotional intelligence skills are primary factors of motivation and the gateway to lifelong learning and high levels of achievement. Unlike IQ, EQ can be developed, strengthened and enhanced throughout one's lifetime. When EQ is improved, it can have immediate benefits to one's health, one's education, one's relationships and one's work.

Unfortunately many at-risk/special education students lack the key elements for success in our society - the ability to set and achieve goals. This program will help learners identify the key factors that are holding them back and provide proven research-based intervention strategies to overcome the barriers to their success.



Our research clearly shows that special education/at-risk learners do not possess these goal setting and achievement skills that other students have. Without these key self-determination skills, transition success is highly unlikely.
