When we don’t feel ok
We don’t do ok…
A game-changing workshop to help young people 16-24 who are struggling to create their next steps into work, training or education
We bridge the gap between your amazing opportunities and young people’s capacity to take them on.
Is this you?
You support or have opportunities for young people aged 16-24:
Neets. Those who are not in employment, education and training.
Higher education students
Young people who are struggling with their mental health
You see their potential. You want to support them. You believe that they can thrive. We do too…
There is a missing piece of the puzzle between your practical solutions and some young people’s capacity to take them on.
We bridge that gap.
Create Your Next Steps (CYNS) is a foundational one-day workshop to help young people realise their potential. We offer fast results and lasting impact. Game changing in fact.
“Since learning about myself and that I’m ok; I’ve got a promotion, I’ve got a stable and reliable friendship group and my relationship with my family is better. Most of all, my relationship with myself is better. All areas of my life have improved so quickly and so well that I’d never have thought I’d be in this place of feeling content and enough.”
Maya, 21
When we feel ok, we do ok…

Sometimes we need to take a step back to effortlessly move forwards
Many of us get stuck in a vicious cycle, where we try to do more and get more stuff to feel better. If we could just do this… or just have that… We will be ok when… Ok if… Be ok because…
Our minds get busy and we feel anxious about our future. We become stressed about what may or may not happen. This worry can have a huge impact on our lives.
What we explore together…
Participants will be part of a small group exploring how we work. Once we understand this, life becomes less personal and more fun. We stop looking at what is wrong with us and the world and start to appreciate what is right. We are open to opportunities and willing to play the game - to win!
The day is split into four parts:
Being human. What would be a miracle? We explore the difference between intellectual knowledge and insightful knowing and why this is helpful.
Sewing seeds. We uncover our own innate creativity and ok-ness. We explore what appears to get in the way of us being ok and why this is important.
Understanding the human mind. Through interactive exercises, we explore how our amazing and creative minds work and how they create our reality.
Now is new. We look at our own capacity to create the impossible. We brainstorm ideas and create our next steps to realising our miracle.
We don’t need to be “ready” - just willing to play the game of life.

Why choose us?
Simply - we open the door to new possibilities.
As experienced facilitators, teachers and entrepreneurs we have developed this workshop in partnership with young people, which enables them to realise their innate mental health, creativity and resilience.
This is vital.
Because no matter what past or present circumstances they are up against they have the capacity to thrive today.
One day to transform a life?
We will introduce young people to how the human mind works, how we thrive and what gets in the way. It works the same way for us all.
We call it HOPE.
“This will help individuals who have anxiety and life issues… I have been taught how to live a happy life without any worries”
