4 Steps to Leadership
What parents who want their kids to be leaders need to do
As parents, we spend a considerable amount of time thinking about our kid's future. We try to strike a balance between engaging them in what makes them happy and making them excel in it.
We want our kids to be "natural leaders" because of the benefits that being a leader accrues. The honest truth is that leaders are not born naturally. Rather, they are created as a result of their life experiences and their response to them. However, if you read the stories of highly successful people, you will find out that most of the time, they had proactive parents that nurtured them for leadership.
The fact that you are reading this page is a pointer that you are in this category of proactive parents.
The questions that preoccupy your mind often include:
Heard about “Transferable skills”
These are the skills that your kids learn from another thing. Sports is a great example.
Forbes magazine is not a kid’s magazine, it’s a business magazine for adults. However, we are talking about preparing our kids to be great leaders into adulthood, let’s look at what Forbes published about the "Top 10 Qualities That Make A Great Leader."
These include:
Let’s see how the Forbes
“Top 10 Qualities That Make A Great Leader”, match up with the traits and transferable skills you learn within Martial Arts Training.
Honesty
One of the core values of Martial Arts Training is Honesty. Your child is taught how to be honest with themselves and others. In martial arts training, your child will learn very quickly how to be honest with themselves. This is because the successful execution of self-defense techniques requires you to know your strengths and limitations.
Delegate
Admittedly, this is not one of the initial things kids learn with martial arts, but if they want to, helping with classes is always welcome, and that does require the ability to delegate.
Confidence
It’s a major confidence boost when your child knows that they can defend themselves against bullies or predators. All the physical training will make your child feel great. Kids who study martial arts are known to exude confidence.
Communication
Good communication is about thinking clearly, taking your time and confidence. Clear thinking and patience are natural byproducts of Martial Arts Training as they are required for your child to be able to defend themselves under high-pressure situations. These transferable qualities also help with public speaking and communicating effectively to individuals or small groups
Positive Attitude
Martial Arts Training Environments are one of those places you see posters with the word CAN’T crossed out. A high achiever attitude pervades our classes.
Creativity
Forbes mentions the importance of “Creativity” in helping to make decisions on the “Fly”. Learning to respond calmly and properly to any number of unexpected attackers is practically the definition of creativity for leadership. Legendary Martial Arts Training will train your child how to be quick thinking and lightning fast with responses even when they have no idea what is coming at them.Martial Arts Training Environments are one of those places you see posters with the word CAN’T crossed out. A high achiever attitude pervades our classes.
Intuition
Unlike other sports, Martial Arts Training teaches kids how to find their center, to stop the mind chatter, and to access their inner strength. To let what you already know come out when it is needed. This is intuition.
Inspire
Inspiring a team is all about everything we have been talking about here. Confidence, quick thinking, the ability to handle pressure, honesty and a positive attitude will inspire those around your child.
Approach
In Martial Arts, we teach your child how to size up opponents in the matter of a split second. This is another transferable skill and trait giving your child the ability to size up a person to determine the right approach toward them for the purposes of trying to motive, persuade or teach them.
Therefore, it can be accepted that Martial Arts Scores 100% as Leadership Training!
