   Kindling is a masterclass for life skills. It\'s a video-based, online mentorship platform that empowers young adults to thrive personally and professionally. Fundamentally, Kindling helps young adults cultivate personal agency by instilling the confidence and belief that they have what it takes, can take charge or their lives, and can make things happen. Our world is confusing, busy, and demanding. Many young professionals feel overwhelmed and underprepared to reach their potential once they’re off on their own. Kindling helps provide a better understanding of WHO they are, WHAT they want to achieve, and HOW they can perform better by creating the conditions to succeed and live a life of meaning and contribution. These foundational skills and mindsets are critically important, but often not cultivated at home, in our educational institutions or work. Kindling is here to fill that gap by offering a 4th space of asynchronous learning. It\'s the class you never had, but wished you’d taken. Kindling strategically blends an open, introspective dialog with practical, structured learning – leading to a young adult who is better prepared, confident, and self-reliant. The program is made up of extensive pre-recorded video content which includes group discussion and experiential learning. Through this virtual classroom setting, Kindling is the type of immersive, Socratic, conversational experience that is largely missing in the online learning space.Most of all, Kindling taps into the universal need for new adults to be understood – as they feel they are seen, heard, respected, and valued. In a world of constant change and disruption, Kindling prepares consumers in all aspects of their lives so they can be adaptable and perform at their best. Kindling’s Core Program (36 chapters) is made up of four pillars of learning:1. Create Your Career Path2. Build Your Personal Brand3. Master Networking 4. Stand Out In Interviews
