Meeting Students Where They’re At: Transformative Strategies to Support and Engage Today’s Youth with Dr Tori Ellis | Season 2: Episode 9

In this episode, I am joined by the fabulous Dr. Tori Ellis, a Transformational Life and Business Coach and author based in New York City. I had the pleasure of asking Dr. Ellis some thought-provoking questions about her work and insights about her unique approach to working with young people, individuals and organisations, blending the worlds of hip-hop and positive psychology to create a lasting impact within schools, communities and businesses. 

In this episode, we cover:

• The benefits and transformations that can be seen from introducing a dedicated youth program in schools

• Common challenges young people are facing or struggling to overcome in their lives and in learning
• How involving, relating to and listening to young people can help them overcome some of those challenges
