Barry Garapedian, a mentor for affluent youth, emphasizes the importance of instilling values in teens through personal development lessons. He highlights the need for young people to step out of their comfort zones to build confidence, advocating for vision boards that encapsulate personal goals. His philosophy is grounded on seven pillars, which include family involvement and communal support, thereby ensuring that values of service and personal growth are ingrained. Garapedian's experience in family governance informs his approach, making it vital for parents to prepare their children before they enter college.
Getting outside your comfort zone takes courage, and courage builds confidence. It's essential that young people have confidence in themselves personally and professionally.
I structure my approach around the seven pillars, but also believe there are specific lessons young people need to succeed.
Always drop off and pick up a family member traveling through to the airport. It's a way to show we care and be of service to our family.
One of those things must be an impossible goal - something that seems so big it's hard to imagine. Just naming that goal is stepping out of the comfort zone.
