ABOUT
THE FOUNDER
My name is Vicky Omifolaji, the
Executive Director for ‘Vicky Omifolaji Consulting’ based in the state of Victoria,
Australia.
I am a trained psychotherapist with
about 20 years of experience. I set up a consulting and life coaching business
around five years ago helping people to realize their dreams, supporting them
to achieve their goals and providing them with life tools to use for them to
move from where they are to where they want to be.
I provide consulting services
to businesses and individuals helping them to realize their dreams.
I am also the author of
numerous books including ‘Positive Self-Esteem – A Guide To A Better You', ‘Not
Today, You Bully’ (Children's picture book), ‘Dumpland’ (Children's picture
book), ‘Liar's Caucus’ (Children's picture book), ‘Empowering Children Against
Bully’ and my latest book titled ‘When Parents Separate – Easing The Trauma For
Children’.
The life skills programs were
established in Melbourne Victoria in Australia in 2010. Initially, the focus
was on young people from ages 5 to early 20s but to my delight, it has since
grown. Since we started the program, over 500 young people had gone through the
program with so much positive feedback and positive life changing experiences.
Under the Life Skills Programs
banner, we have the following programs:
‘Coffee n Company’
Life Skills Clinic
De-Stress Retreat for
working mothers
Life Skills for Young
People – let's catch them young
Parenting programs
For
now, Life Skills Programs for Young people is what the ‘Train The Trainer’
Project will be focusing on. Life Skills Programs with tag-line “Catch Them
Young” because we believe that emotional intelligence is more important than
having a high scholarship IQ.
Emotional Intelligence is the
ability to identify and manage your emotions and the emotions of others.
Pushing children through school at early ages does not give them the
opportunity to be in tune with their emotions. Unfortunately, these skills are
not taught in schools.
WHAT
IS LIFE SKILLS PROGRAMS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE?
Life Skills are a comprehensive
set of universal cognitive and non-cognitive skills and abilities, connecting
behavior, attitudes and knowledge that young people can develop and retain
throughout their lives. Life Skills increases young people's well-being and
help them to develop into active and productive members of the community.
There is evidence that both
cognitive and non-cognitive abilities determine social and economic success for
young people and adults. As a result, comprehensive training programs that
combine in-class employability and life skills lessons with practical hands-on
experience have higher rates of success defines as improving the probability of
obtaining employment and higher income.
The program is to assist in
helping develop important life skills in young people. The life skills include:
Ability
to believe in themselves
Ability
to handle their feelings
Ability
to make and keep friends
Ability
to cooperate with others
Ability
to foster respect
Ability
to resolve conflict which in turn builds resilience
Employment
preparation
Planning
for the future
Coordination
of your life plan and program
Personal
development and skills training
LSP
is an informed and focused program targeted at young
people with the view of reinforcing the importance of obtaining life skills in
the formative years.
We could see a gap, and our job
is to fill in the gap which is why we have decided to set up a Life Skills
Programs in Nigeria.
Interested entrepreneur and
education specialist are invited to buy the franchise. The ‘Train The Trainers’
Project is for us to’Train The Trainers’so that they can be available to
deliver training to support the Life Skills Program owners to employ.
