Do you know the top 3 things a headhunter is looking for from a MBA graduate? Based upon a Wall Street Journal study of over 600 headhunters interviewed, here are the top 3 things: 1- Good Communicator 2- Creativity & problem solver 3- Team builder If you seek further research, our society shifts are counter reacting these skills once so prevalent and we are seeing the affects in our younger generations. Texting is now replacing communication, process is replacing creativity and hiding behind your computer is thwarting team building.

A published calendar is coming soon! We will update the website with the new information sometime within the next week or two.

Thankful to Walmart and the companies that are showing commitment to community and our youth!

Leading Next Generation at Harrison High School tonight for the 9th grade honors.

We are thrilled to have just found out that we have received a grant from WALMART for Leading Next Generation!! Starting a non-profit from the ground based upon a vision and need in the community is not easy work. Each day I (Heather) am reminded and so thankful to all the people who have and are currently coming along side me to truly impact our youth! If you have a high schooler, now is the time to register at www.leadingnextgeneration.org Your child is going to go through curriculum for an entire year that is being hand written by some of the most talented people in our community. The skills alone are worth the investment, not to mention the cash scholarship at the end of the program. Big shout out to the Northwest YMCA for their partnership and also to Harrison High School for bringing this to fruition.

Update... Our kickoff class for Leading Next Generation will be Saturday, August 20, 2016 at 10:00am. So very happy to partner with the YMCA, they will be our host facility for the upcoming academy 2016-2017 year.

Exciting news, Albion Scaccia Enterprises has provided a full scholarship to student, Josh Elias at Osborne HS to attend Leading Next Generations year long program!
