Confidence Hackers
Recipient: 2021 IEAA Excellence Award for Innovation in International Education. We empower students and young people to look after their wellbeing by helping them understand more about the way they tick. We do this by unpacking complex human behaviour in simple, engaging and approachable ways that are relatable to them, in ways that follow our core values of Preventative. Proactive. Fun. We believe that it should be easy and effortless for anyone to arrange, promote and have mental health and resilience programs and services delivered, no matter where they are. And that a one-size offering will never fit everyone, cos really, has it ever? And that being talked 'at' (or worse, down to) is so 2012. And that anything you have to 'go away and research' for it to be useful - well, it's just not useful. And just like the first (and second) rule of Fight Club, we do not talk about 'mental health' to students - cos it's too much of a turn off and way too scary for young people. And that technology can be an ally for doing cool stuff for young people that feel intimidated doing things in groups. And that ego and judgement are absurd - so we'll do what it takes, including animal sounds, daggy dancing and making total fools of ourselves to get our message across. And lastly, that anyone who has young people in their care or employ has a bigger responsibility to them than just a roof over their head or a pay packet. From the interactive workshops & programs we deliver, to the Pop-Up coaching services we offer and the physical products like the Mindset Magic Card packs, we believe that you should be able to set-and-forget and have everything just work (if only more of life was life that hey?)
