The MAGIC programme can raise the aspirations of young people so that they are motivated to participate in Higher Education. MAGIC provides specialist coaching that is usually reserved for senior executives. Coaching is a tried and tested method of unlocking the potential of individuals; and MAGIC coaching can make a real difference to young people who do not have the advantages and benefits of others. We tailor the modules to meet the specific requirements of the young people concerned. In broad terms the themes that are usually covered include: Motivation: The prospect of the unknown can be daunting. Participants learn what makes them tick and how to motivate themselves. |
Assertiveness: We can be assertive when we have good self esteem and good self-image. Participants learn how to use assertiveness to achieve their goals.
Goal achievement: Learning how to plan is an essential skill. Participants will learn how to set their own SMART goals, design action plans and overcome obstacles to success.
Initiative: Sometimes we're 'stuck': but it's empowering to recognize that we actually have choices. Participants open their minds to new choices. They realise that they can take personal responsibility for their futures and learn how to coach themselves to success.
Confident communication: Participants learn how to build rapport and present themselves and their ideas effectively. |
