What happens when we call teens “leaders”—especially those previously labeled as “troublemakers”? In this thought-provoking video, Lorraine Connell, founder of Peers Not Fears, explores how traditional leadership programs can unintentionally alienate the very teens they aim to empower.
These teens have learned to expect rejection. When invited into leadership roles, their instinct may be to test boundaries—not out of defiance, but as a means to see if this new label truly fits. Lorraine challenges us to reconsider our reactions and to create spaces where pushing boundaries is met with understanding, not resistance.
Key Takeaways:
-
Redefining leadership as a responsibility, not a reward
-
Understanding resistance as a form of trust-testing
-
Creating environments that support growth through discomfort
-
Emphasizing the role of adults in modeling flexibility and reflection
Leadership development is a two-way street. By shifting our perspectives and responses, we can foster genuine growth and transformation in our teens—and in ourselves.
