A hOLISTIC AnD BALAnCED APPROAChThE PILLARS OF hOLISTIC DEVELOPMEnT ARE:
1. Characterengineering an Internal Compass
at lifeskills enrichment, we see character education as an intentional integration of excellence and ethics in every context of a person’s life, and as consisting of two vital elements - Performance Character and Moral Character. a quest for excellence cannot be separate from the quest for ethics.
Performance character is a mastery orientation. It consists of character strengths that enable us to pursue our personal best – whether the outcome is realised or not. Moral character on the other hand is a relational orientation. It enables us to treat others, and ourselves, with respect and care and to act with integrity in our ethical lives. It has the important function of moderating our performance goals to honour the interest of others.
2. ConductInstilling lifelong habits
Conduct refers to the observable behaviours of a person and the manner in which one carries himself or herself. It is important to inculcate good habits from a young age so that these behaviours become natural and consistent with time.
3. Competencehoning life skills and boosting knowledge base
Competency is the capacity of a person to effectively perform a specific role or task within a particular environment. any one competency can consist of a distinct combination of Knowledge, Skills and Abilities and can be developed through formal as well as informal education. skills can be further sub-divided into three domains, namely: Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor (Bloom’s Taxonomy).
Through our comprehensive collection of solutions and programmes, lifeskills enrichment provides exceptional and extensive resources to increase students’ practical knowledge base and boost their proficiency in cognitive and affective skills.
Towards our end of nurturing complete and well-balanced individuals, lifeskills enrichment consciously directs students to apply their learning across seven segments of their lives:
1. Faith – Personal Growth2. Family – Priority Relationship3. Friends – Peer, People and Professional Relationships4. Fitness – Physical, Mental and Emotional Fitness5. Finance – Planning of Finances6. Fun – Play and Enjoyment7. Firm – Phases of School and/or Work

programme designed to help students
develop the fundamental skills for
life effectiveness. The programme is
crafted and delivered in a manner which
is developmentally appropriate and
pedagogically robust. Over 4 to 5 years,
students will learn to efficaciously manage
themselves, their relationships and varied
life situations.
These short, accurate, self-scoring assessment tools are designed to identify and enhance
communication, learning, motivation, and career choices in students. They aim to help
youths flourish in school, career and life by identifying and encouraging their natural
personal strengths in several critical areas.

LifeWorks™ adopts a Spiralling Curriculum (Jerome S. Bruner) which revisits basic ideas
and skills repeatedly, reinforcing them until students develop a firm level of understanding
and competency. What the student gradually attains is a rich breadth and depth of
knowledge and skills that are generally not developed in curricula where each topic is
discrete and disjointed from each other.
Targeting critical life skillsThe programme aims to empower students with knowledge, attitudes and skills to
recognise and manage their emotions, develop caring and concern for others, establish
positive relationships, make responsible decisions, and handle challenging situations
constructively and ethically.

Helping student leaders

We got to put our skills and process to the

l.E.a.DTM,
helps schools empower their student leaders
to become effective leaders in their differing
spheres of influence. Student leaders enrolled in this school-wide programme will
learn to lead, Equip, authorise and Develop
themselves as well as those around them.
The programme commences with The
Transformational leadership camp and
culminates with the Transformational
Mentorship camp. Between these 2 milestones, student leaders are provided
with coaching sessions which aim to be
catalysts for each individual’s growth as a
leader. Over the same period, trained coaches
from Lifeskills Enrichment will also partner
with schools to provide mentoring for student leaders as they plan and execute
selected school-based events or student-led events and activities.
Unlike generic leadership training programmes
which are often highly theoretical and disconnected from the practical context of
leadership, l.E.a.DTM is a minds-on and hands-on programme where learning
extends into the very context where they serve
and lead. Situated learning supported with
relevant coaching will not only help student
leaders run effective activities but will expand
their leadership capital.
l.E.a.DTM aims to first develop student leaders
from within, then growing their leadership
influence on the people around them and
eventually extending and heightening the
leaders’ impact to the greater community.
Through l.E.a.DTM , Lifeskills Enrichment
aims to help participating schools broaden
and deepen their leadership base.
Developmental Plan and approachL.E.A.D™ is anchored on the established wisdom that personal
growth is the best facilitator by real-life experiential learning
and guidance from supportive mentors and coaches. Student
leaders will not only undergo theoretical and practical training
modules during 2 separate camps but will also be mentored
by trained coaches from Lifeskills Enrichment over the entire
programme period. (The learning modules for the 2 camps can be
found at the end of this programme description.)

The student leadership Practices inventory (slPi)TSLC utilises the leading industry 360-degree assessment tool, The Student Leadership Practices Inventory (SLPI), to help leaders assess the extent to which they use the Five Exemplary Leadership Practices hence alllowing for intentional improvements.
l.E.a.DTM Time-FrameBased on our substantial experience of working with schools, we believe that a full-year programme harnesses the best results. This allows ample time for building a strong leadership culture and for matured and effective coaching relationships to be established.
L.E.A.D™ begins with the Transformational leadership camp (3D2N) which aims to build student leaders’ understanding of their current leadership strengths and limitations.
Over the duration of the programme, Lifeskills Enrichment will also provide leadership coaching for student leaders. Competent coaches will employ the best from solution Focused coaching (sFc), an approach which is solution-based and future-oriented, to support the development of leadership character and capacities.
Coaches from Lifeskills Enrichment will also provide Events-based Guidance to guide student leaders as they plan for and execute selected school-based or student-led events and activities. Much care will be exercised to avoid taking over ownership and the actual management of the event or activity. Working with school staff, our experienced coaches will provide pre and post event consultations with the intent of not only helping student leaders improve event outcomes but more importantly, to help them grow as managers and leaders.
The programme comes to a close with The Transformational Mentorship camp (3D2N) which aims to deepen leaders’ understanding of leadership and enhance their skills-set so as to prepare them for a higher level of responsibility and a greater scope of duties. A key objective of the camp is to assist senior student leaders in identifying and grooming their understudies. This camp should preferably be held at the end of the school year, just before the process of selecting and grooming the new echelon of leaders commences.

Through systematic guidance and assessment, coupled with conscientious goal-setting using leadership Development action Plans, we will enable student leaders to move successfully from established intentions towards their preferred outcomes.
REAL BENEFITS OF THE PROGRAMME1. For Students – Enhances student leaders’ motivation and capacity to excel in their leadership
positions in school2. For Schools and Educators – A continuous pipeline of student leaders who are committed to
and competent in leading their peers and serving the community3. For Parents – Complements parental efforts to bring up good kids who are contributing

Learning KeysTM
An innovative strength-based programme to help
students & teachers identify, appreciate and
capitalise on students’ learning strengths
learningKeysTM,
is a simple, yet profound programme focusing upon personal “strengths”, then applying that information to everyday communicating and learning situations. This innovative approach to unlocking people’s potential is commonly called a “strength-based” approach. Students who can recognise their strengths early on will be better prepared to make life’s most critical decisions.
The main function of the human brain is to learn and human beings can increase their
skills and knowledge with appropriate learning. In fact, given the amazing brain power
every human being has, learning ought to be fun, easy, without stress and have
long-lasting effects.
Students learn at different rates, using different styles, and expressing different needs.
The key to successful learning is knowing one’s unique personal learning style, accepting
one’ strengths as well as one’s weaknesses, and matching personal learning preferences
as much as possible in any leaning situation. That is how one can also develop a love for
learning.
LearningKeysTM represents a series of customisable workshops and online profiles
designed to motivate and empower students to reach their potential by identifying and
enhancing personal motivation, communication, learning and thinking in students.
the New Paradigm of Learning:Everyone CAN learn but
everyone learns in a different way.
- 25 -
kEy PROGRAMME BENEFITS

CareerkeysTM
The careerKeysTM
aims to help students construct their
personal roadmap to career success. This
is done through the use of self-assessment
instruments and interactive exercises to
uncover their personal distinctiveness in
terms of personality strengths, values,
talents and abilities, and interests.
kEy PROGRAMME FEATuRES
TheoreTical orienTaTionThe theoretical orientation of the CareerKeysTM programme is based on 2 notable career
development theories, namely Donald super’s Developmental self-concept Theory and
John Holland’s Theory of career choice.
Donald Super’s greatest contribution to career development has been the emphasis
on the importance of the development of self-concept and of the belief that self-concept
changes over time and develops as a result of experience. As such, career development
is lifelong.
John Holland’s theory explains work-related behaviour such as which career choices are
likely to lead to job success and satisfaction, how people of the same personality type
working together in a job can create a work environment that fits their type, and how
people search for environments where they can use their skills and abilities and express
their values and attitudes. This model is one of the best and most widely researched
theory on career.
To engage the students on their career exploration and planning, we pose to them
three questions which act as guideposts on their individual journeys.
QuesTion #1– Where am i? (Identifying Personal Strengths & direction)
Student participants are given a preliminary assessment to help them understand
where they are currently. By having a sense of where they are heading and knowing their
natural strengths will enable students to eventually create a concrete and achievable
career progression plan. The aim of this programme component is to heighten students’
sense of self-awareness in terms of personal strengths as well as their educational and
occupational aspirations.
Where your talent
there lies your vocation.

QuesTion #2– Who am i? (defining your Personal Brand)
One needs to have clarity about their own Personal Brand which consists of
his/her identity and unique qualities in order to chart their career path. Lifeskills
Enrichment will engage students to uncover and appreciate their Personal Brand
in the expedition to find the ideal career fit. They will also discover the internal
motivators that direct their personal decisions.
Student participants will apply their understanding of personality styles to
find careers which match their preferences. This will be done using tools like
DISCInsights™ Personality System, the Career Choice Workbook, Values
Clarification exercises and the Ministry of Education’s eCareers portal.
QuesTion #3– hoW Do i ProceeD? (Goal Setting & Action Planning)
After achieving enhanced clarity regarding their personal branding and
direction, our trainers will guide students to make coherent and feasible
action plans towards fulfilling their career goals. They will then work out
the academic grades required to attain their self-set goals.
The CareerKeys™ programme employs an all-embracing approach which
enhances students’ awareness in all 4 domains in order to help them to
make well-considered and balanced decisions regarding their future.
REAL BENEFITS OF THE PROGRAMMEThrough the workshop, students will: 1. Become more aware of their personal strengths and learn to manage their weaknesses 2. Develop a balanced self-image and a greater awareness of others 3. Discover and appreciate personality strengths, multiple talents, work and intrinsic values, interests, abilities 4. Learn how to effectively consider personal strengths and academic abilities in career selection 5. Strengthen and deepen their understanding of career choices and study options in the horizon 6.

A new approach
to Personalised
Learning and Dynamic,
Strength-Based
teaching
Teaching KeysTM
Optimising Your Natural teaching Strengths
TeachingKeysTM - optimising Your Natural Teaching strengths
Programme focuses on a strategy of self-
discovery first, teaching methodologies
second. It offers an innovative strength-
based approach that enables teachers to
identify, appreciate and capitalise on their
natural learning and teaching strengths to
facilitate learning in a classroom of pupils
with diverse learning style preferences.
Many educational institutions as well as corporations are embracing “strengths” as a
concept to fuel “ownership” of individual and corporate success. The emphasis in many
institutions today is to identify student and employee “strengths;” then give individuals
opportunities to confirm their strengths through work or class endeavours. This innovative
approach to empowering people is commonly called a “strength-based” approach.
Educators, as well as students, have much to learn from appreciating individualised
strengths. Teachers who teach to student’s individual learning strengths (i.e. natural
learning preferences), may find that students are retaining more new information and
increasing their understanding of the subject matter. Teachers may also find students to
be more motivated to achieve and more apt to move from one year to the next as opposed
to dropping out.

TeachingKeysTM has three components that are essential in enabling a teacher to
identify, appreciate and capitalise on their natural learning and teaching strengths. It
includes profiling exercises that identify the individual’s “style” and how he/she can
maximise strengths and manage limitations.
Personality style (communication and Motivation Preferences)
The DISC Personality System is the universal language of behaviour. DISC
is the four-quadrant behavioural model
based on the work of William Moulton
Marston Ph.D. (1893 - 1947) that examines the behaviour of individuals
in their environment or within a specific
situation. Knowing the Personality Styles
will enable you to understand a person’s
motivation, strengths and weaknesses.
Teachers can use the knowledge of Personality Styles to better understand
and relate to their students, manage
the classroom and motivate students
in their goal setting and overcoming obstacles to their goals.
cognitive Thinking style (Thinking Preferences)
TThe Cognitive Learning Style assessment identifies an individual’s
preferred pattern of cognitive processing in thinking once information
enters the body through the sensory modalities. Once the new stimuli have
entered the body, the mind must try to
make sense of it, interact with it, and
sort it out. The LITE method isolates
four main styles of cognitive processing - L (Literal), I (Intuitive), T (Theoretical), and E (Experiential). These terms focus upon the way a person recognises new information and the way a person categorises the
information. The Cognitive Thinking Style and LITE model is based upon a
compendium of different works, models
and theories by different authors.
Perceptual learning style (learning Preferences)
The Perceptual Learning Style assessment identifies an individual’s
preferred channels to receive and absorb new information into the body.
The instrument focuses upon the three most widely accepted sensory channels, eyes (visual), ears (auditory),
and hands/doing (kinesthetic/tactile).
This system is commonly referred to as AVK. The AVK methodology has its
origins in theories like Neuro-Linguistic
Programming (NLP) and Multiple Intelligences.

learning styles of the students and the unique teaching
style of the gifted teacher are engaged.”
