“Processing Information. Decision Making. FIND YOUR WHY Mantra’s!”

Our Find Your Why program for Sr.’s in High School will have its last meeting on June 7th of this year. It’s been an incredible year with our student’s who have learned more about who they are, how they process information, make decisions and organize the things that are most important to them for the best of outcomes.

Our 2020-2021 FYW Class of Students are exceptional! As leadership coaches, we have enjoyed supporting their learning, growth and development throughout the year.

At the end of our Find Your WHY program and during our student’s last coaching meeting, we encourage our students to create a “Mantra” that will support their mindset, growth and movement forward for their lives and aspirations for college and work.

As coaches, we have found, a “Mantra” is a gentle reminder to process information with a BIG picture in mind that may include processing information from a theoretical or conceptual point of view OR from a DETAILED perspective focusing on facts, realities and details. Both ways of processing information are important in order to make good decisions, while the student stays in alignment with what is most important to them.

Further, our FYW student’s “Mantra” supports the decisions that they are in the process of making for their future. Some students will process information from a BIG picture standpoint and seek to make a decision that is in agreement with others, which is important to them. Or, they make a decision that is accepting to those who they are in relationship (family members and close friends). Other students may base their decisions on more logic or reason when processing information with the facts, data and details.

“Our students are encouraged to stay in ALIGNMENT with who they are,

ALIGN with their strengths and stay in ALIGNMENT with what is most important to them as they make decisions for their present and future.”

There are no right or wrong ways of processing information or making decisions. Yet, depending on how our student’s process information and make decisions will create the unique outcomes, which are going to be different for each student depending on the student’s preferences and desired outcomes.

This is “WHY” – Mantra’s are so important. Mantra's guide and keep the student in alignment with their ability to process information and make the best decisions based on what is important to them within the present moment and hope for their future. Also, mantras give encouragement to keep growing and doing the things that will help the student achieve their goals or desired outcomes.

Here are several Mantra’s from our FYW Students – Enjoy reading. At the end of your reading, you may want to create a Mantra for yourself, too!
