About

The Group is a series of programs which are designed to allow young people to learn and practice life skills in a really fun way. These are the soft skills that are not only key to feeling deeply happy, but also comprise the skill-set that their future employers will be looking for.

The Group gives young people an awesome edge in that they start to think about things like empathy, making a difference, how they’re communicating, what their passion is and how to follow it, what it means to be a good listener, respecting other’s opinions, how to be a great team player...all at a very young age.

Participants of The Group’s programs develop a language that sets them apart. They have a self-awareness which is rare even in adults, but especially in children. They develop a deep confidence because they finally learn about things that the world ‘expects’ them to understand, but offers no education in…like how to be a good listener, how to follow your passion, how to be a good friend.

We can learn these things by trial-and-error, and that’s what most people do, but we are so empowered when we’re taught.

Who is Leah Davidson?

Leah is a passionate Coach with more than 25 years experience making a difference to young people. She has written and implemented many programs that engage young people in creative, fun ways that develop their social intelligence.

Leah has delivered her programs at schools across Victoria, in private settings, for YPO YNG Young People and online.

In her programs, Leah teaches her curriculum for building emotional intelligence in young people ages 8 - 18. Life skills like creative thinking, collaboration, and decision-making are the soft skills not only essential in living a happy fulfilled life, but are now the skills most required of their generation in the work force. There is also a strong focus on philanthropy at The Group through which the kids get to see themselves as agents of change in their community.

Leah has created and runs many Workshops and Camps where young people get hands-on education in collaboration, leadership, independence and team building while learning empowering life skills in fresh, fun ways. Survivor Camp and The Amazing Race Camp are weekend-long adventures where young people collaborate in teams developing life skills through engaging activities and games, building Emotional Intelligence while having the time of their life with friends new and old.

Whether delivered in school workshops, in private settings or on a camp, the common thread in Leah’s curriculum is that each module is underpinned by her deep respect for young people’s ability to get to their own next level.
