"I just wanted to say another big thank you for the great week. I can honestly say I have a different view of my future in the world and how I want to spend my life, also how important it is to know your value in the world."

Susan HayesCulleton runs #SavvyTeenAcademy. She has walked the walk: she's successfully been through school, college and jobs - and now she runs her own businesses.
We've been there and done that
At #SavvyTeenAcademy, we remember what it was like to dream big and have no idea where to start. We remember what it was like to feel embarrassed and not dare say it out loud: yes, you want the best life. Will others belittle your ambitions? Will they laugh at you?
This four-day intensive contains
All the practical tips and inspiration we wish we'd had when we were your age. And we'll share it all with you.
What students will learn at #SavvyTeenAcademy
SavvyTeenAcademy is NOT a traditional course based on the school curriculum.
Students will learn and practice skills that are essential to academic and professional success, but aren't taught as such in school, such as:
- speaking confidently and persuasively in front of an audience
- studying smart, and not just hard
- making an excellent first impression in a professional or personal context
- overcoming shyness and coming across as respectful and confident in any conversation or exchange
- managing stress-inducing situations with poise and grace, without crumbling under pressure
- protecting themselves and coping in difficult situations requiring quick adaptation (moving out and starting college, coping with feelings of sadness or isolation, after a breakup for example)
At the end of the programme
Take home with you the best strategies, tried and selected by highly successful people - and use them for life.
