YTN's research found that adolescents consistently give far too much power over their motivation and life direction to those around them.  This leads to frustration and a greater disconnect with adults. Just when they should be stepping up, many are retreating due to the weight of perceived expectations and pressure and the oppositional nature of their adolescent brain.</p>

<p>Our research driven approach gets small groups of students talking, expressing their frustrations and challenges and leads to the identification of their motivation issues. As students are allowed to hear themselves and each other they process things differently and come to understand the source of their motivation issues.  They respond positively to the empowering message to take the reigns of their life and success. When integrated with the use of Strength Finders 2.0, school counselor involvement and vision building, the turn around can be breath taking.</p>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
