FAQ's
WHO SHOULD ATTEND EMPOWER U?
Every child and young adult between the ages of 13 – 25 who wants an unfair advantage in life …
Who wants better school or university results, better communication skills, better finances, more motivation and direction … everyone who wants to get ahead in any way.
HOW DO I GET MY CHILD TO ATTEND?
We are used to many parents facing resistance from their child when it comes to attending Empower U. This is nothing unusual, and it often happens because their child doesn’t fully understand the value of the program…yet!
We’ve created a Secret Parent-Free Page you can share with your child, so they can hear what other participants have to say about the program. Often watching these is enough to convince a child that it’s going to be a fun event.
However, if you still find yourself facing “I don’t want to” then we recommend being a parent first, and a friend second. Many parents ‘force’ their kids to attend, but ironically, these are usually the participants that end up getting the most out of the weekend!
WHAT ABOUT FOOD?
Attendees are asked to bring their own food to Empower U. This enables us to keep our costs down to the “bare bones”.
If we were to provide food for your child over the weekend it would add hundreds of dollars to the cost of the event.
So I’m sure you can see that it makes sense for your child to bring their own food. Please note: there will be plenty of fresh water to drink.
WHAT ABOUT ACCOMMODATION? AND TRANSPORT?
We do not provide accommodation so that must be arranged by you prior to arriving. We also do not provide transport from accommodation to the venue or vice versa.
This enables us to keep our costs down to the “bare bones”. If we were to provide accommodation and transport for your child over the weekend it would add hundreds of dollars to the cost of the event.
WILL MY CHILD BE SAFE?
Yes. Besides myself, there is an ‘assist’ team present to supervise and attend to your child.
We always ensure there is a qualified First Aid giver present at every seminar.
WHY IS THE PROGRAM SO LONG? IS THAT TOO MUCH FOR MY CHILD TO HANDLE WITH SCHOOL ETC?
The reason why we get the amazing results we do through Empower U is because we have the time to really shift the participants mindset.
If we wanted to simply motivate or inspire them then an hour or two would suffice.
However, we delve into a lot of complex concepts and key ideas to really empower the students to achieve big results.
What is important to recognise though, is that your child will have more energy when they leave then when they started (and that is a guarantee).
CAN WE SIT IN ON THE SEMINAR?
No. It is important that the participants go through this journey on their own.
If a parent is there it can be a massive distraction and do more harm than good.
However at the graduation evening on Sunday night we go through various parts of the program for you to understand the methodology behind the program and how it is relevant to not only your child but also yourselves.
WHAT QUALIFICATIONS DO YOU HAVE TO RUN THE SEMINAR?
I have spent the last 20 years working with top achievers from all walks of life.
What we have done is found their recipes or in another way discovered what makes them get the results they do.
What I would say though is that we have experienced some great things in our lives that has impacted us greatly and we are now sharing that with other young people.
