Are you looking to build a reputation for yourself as someone trustworthy, reliable, and respected? Are you willing to make good decisions, such as being honest, humble, and forgiving, to achieve this? As
James Clear wrote, "Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become."
Our guests, Glenn Smith and Rober Daughteridge, from Life Connections, use Perceptional Control Theory to help at-risk youth who are susceptible to committing crimes to take responsibility for their
actions and make better decisions. Mentors, Peer Support Specialists, Social Workers, and those who work in the criminal justice system all come together to assist at-risk youth in learning how to take ownership of their life story, learn from it, and become stronger individuals.
Join us and discover how you can use Perceptual Control Theory to become the person you want to be in the world.
