Teen Program
Teen FEAST Training
Parents interested in the FEAST advanced training for teenagers with CEO Space are encouraged to trust the decade and a half track record applauded by parents from all over the world. Parents who discover the statistic whereby 82% of CEO Space FEAST Program graduates “own” their own business later in life versus work “in” a business - impressive. Our faculty strives to improve this outstanding existing success number.
Parents talking to parents most commonly report the immediate benefits of taking a young learner out of conventional schooling for a short week to receive these rewards:
The Newest Entrepreneurs
- Improved study habits over a long term
- Improved grade performance over a long term
- Sweet language in the home
- Improved decision making at all levels
- Quality in team and friendship choices
Administrators in school systems ranging from public to home school can review “online” letters from Superintendents of public schools encouraging the school decision maker to permit the young learners to substitute a week of conventional education for a week of intense, accelerated education focused on “financial literacy” curriculum. Learners return with improved study habits and leadership that helps others in the local school community.
Administrators appreciate the teens enrolled in the week-long FEAST Program will work long hours – study hard – be held accountable for work output and in every respect will advance the cause of higher education and college preparation. The institutions who permit FEAST Learners to acquire the financial literacy courses offered by CEO Space enjoy improved grade point averages from all affected learners at no cost to their institution, save the time permitted the learner groups to acquire the skills.
Each institution permitting learners to explore the FEAST financial literacy course will also be introduced to Super Teaching as a future classroom design (http://superteaching.uah.edu/). Super Teaching is often discovered by administration in local school systems as the learner is granted permission to attend a FEAST accelerated learning week where Super Teaching is applied to classroom learning.
Parents rely on CEO Space discounts for young learners who are subsidized by low cost tuition plans that include meals and educational materials in one low, tax-deductible tuition package. Teens who are “forced” to accept the gift of their FEAST training quickly open to the fun and value of the program. Every teen without exception grows to love the FEAST process. Every teen yearns to return and most do return at a future time. Teens make new friendships that last a lifetime. Teens make contacts with mentors and faculty coaches that also never expire.
Parents can create no more pressing gift delivery, no greater priority advance, no higher charity grant, no more important permission, or unite a more participatory union of value and skill transfer to a young learner than to convey the core skill library of elevated skills to make more important wiser decisions, all the time, including decisions related to learning. Feast develops a starvation appetite in the young learner for lifelong learning and an appreciation for entrepreneur core skills.
Most teenagers define dreams they never knew they possessed, and the power to visualize and manifest these dreams, through a series of reasonable steps, into future reality. This dream work at CEO Space conveys a core new program into every teenager that suggests “if your mind can conceive of the idea you can in fact DO the idea.”
This “fire in the belly” drives more maturity and adult behavior in all Feast Graduates. Parents who recognize how time effects young lives and how precious every opportunity moment (wasted or unwasted) can be upon a young life – shed all regrets for not having done “enough” when a Feast sponsorship is created. Because each guardian must attend the FEAST program with the teenagers they supervise on site the role of becoming a witness moves into the profound. Gift givers witness transformation and miracles inside young adult lives.
This role of witnessing becomes one of life’s enormous satisfactions. FEAST is a major family experience and a life enriching choice for any young adult fortunate enough to receive the sponsorship of a family member.
Teen Curriculum – What is Taught
Parents take confidence from the sixteen years of CEO Space FEAST success to improve grades, study habits, and decision making for young adults. FEAST is open to ages 12 to 22 in which CEO Space subsidizes tuition prices. Teens in the same family have even deeper discounts. A sponsor guardian must accompany teens. Teen classes begin arrival Sunday evening with a first FEAST orientation. Only two classes are instructed where the guardians and the teens are required to attend together:
- Teen arrival Sunday orientation
- Teen Graduation Saturday
All other teen classes are divided between adult Free Enterprise programs and “teen only” curriculum. The teen only curriculum occurs where teens are removed to their own classroom at periods of very challenging adult subject matter. Teens proceed through 12 modules, which vary FEAST-to-FEAST. FEAST modules include: 
- Sequence and planning
- The power of REQUEST
- Team building and execution
- Integrity contracts with family, friends and self
- Integrity contract breakdown and repair procedures
- Accountability in agreements
- Study habit and education relevancy
- Communication skills training
- Self-esteem training
- Capitalism and how it works
- Entrepreneur thinking
- Master manifestation technology
- Cooperation versus competition problem solving
Teens are developed to support one another in High Performance teams. Teens experience how to remove excuse and low performance for full accountability, pride, and high performance. Teens process the curriculum by using the lesson plans in actual teamwork. Teen class produces more confident, self-assured, and cooperative leaders for tomorrow. Teen class fosters self-reliant leaders with accountability and self-correction technology that becomes new good habits for teen future decision-making. Teens display improved grades and study habits and always-sweeter language in the home.
Although sponsors may wish to delay their attendance to a future CEO Space program, as few are offered in any annual period, teens are best served to attend now versus at some future date. Many teens are suffering. Some are suicidal and guardians may not even know. Feast has reported many teens chose life versus termination as a consequence of the program. Some teens are being damaged in ways that deepen the work of recovery. The longer the damage continues the greater the distance to wellness.
For the teen rewarded for being extraordinary in every way (most Feast attendees) the next FEAST becomes both inspiration as well as ultimate reward. These teens become mentors of extraordinary power as a virtual passage into full young adulthood.
Older teens mentor and protect, as well as nurture, younger teen using FEAST cooperation and unconditional support technologies. There are no cliques. There are no divided teens at FEAST. From handicapped to spiked orange hair FEAST creates absolute and total teen-to-teen support.
The society we all wish to develop and be proud of is forged at every FEAST. Feast Founder Berny Dohrmann often suggests, “Bring us your tired and your weary and your troubled young adults. Bring us your magical child and your 4.0 grade earner. Bring us your angry and your hurt, and bring us your grieving and sorrowful children and FEAST will return to you – the leaders of Tomorrow.”
