Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to develop young people's leadership skills. A practical guide for anyone involved in nurturing, mentoring or educating young people or those interested in youth development. With the help of this book, coaches, teachers, and those working within youth organisations can apply new coaching techniques and ideas to support and fulfil the leadership potential of young people, exploring how to provide them with the skills to transition into adulthood and prepare them for leadership roles. This book introduces a three-stage coaching programme - authentication, development and ambition - as a framework for nurturing and developing young people. This book also draws on real-life case studies of leadership experiences at individual, community and societal levels as well as using reflective exercises to promote critical thinking. It emphasises the importance of acknowledging young people's roles in leadership and examines how to mentor future leaders by examining what current youth leadership looks like today and a vision for the future. It substantiates the claim that young people are an underused and underdeveloped leadership resource.
