About - Ignition!

IGNITION!™ – WHAT IS IT?

Ignition! is a journey designed specifically for young people to explore their personal development and discover their identity.

The programme provides a combination of coaching, training, conversation and exploration to empower young people to build confidence, boost self-worth and encourages an aspirational vision and direction when choosing education options and career ideas.

Ignition! has been created to ensure that young people know it doesn’t matter where life began, how life has unfolded to date, or how life is right now. All that matters is for young people to be free to discover who they are and be happy in their own, unique skin.

This isn’t about a name or a label, but much more about who the young person really is, what they are naturally talented at (and not so good at) and to discover the ‘fuel’ that gives them energy and meaning in their life.

PREPARE FOR TRAVEL

THE PASSPORT TO DISCOVER TRUE PURPOSE

Travel Guide and Check-in

The Journey begins with a young person engaging with an Ignition! Travel Guide – an accredited Ignition! professional such as a coach, trainer, teacher or youth worker.

Together, the Traveller (young person) and Travel Guide will agree a ‘departure date’ and be invited to ‘check-in’ online and complete a short multiple-choice quiz to generate a personal ‘boarding pass.’

Boarding Pass

Know Your Fuel

The Ignition! Boarding Pass gives every Traveller an insight into their best personal mix of Fuel. This Fuel is the variety of activities that provide the energy to live life in the happiest, most fulfilled way that enables a Traveller to reach full potential.

Find Your Flow

The Boarding Pass will provide a personal profile summary outlining how a Traveller will show up in the world, what their natural gifts are and what tasks, activities or situations they will find challenging.

Passport and Destinations

The Boarding Pass is the start of a conversation to discover if this profile is who the Traveller really is and provides the tools to explore the insights and questions raised.

As they progress, each Traveller is issued with their own Passport, a workbook that the Travel Guide and Traveller will review together, following a structured pathway of personal development and self-discovery.

Each step of the Journey is a destination and so, just like in a real passport, a Stamp in their Passport says when they have arrived (or achieved).

MISSION

Building self-worth and inner confidence

The Ignition! mission is to ensure that all young people have high self-worth and core inner confidence. We want them to know exactly who they are and what they offer to the world, with a clear direction for their future and a vision for how they can make a difference to relationships and in the world around them.

PROGRAMMES

IGNITION! USES LIFE CHANGING TOOLS AND INNOVATION

Here at Ignition! HQ we’re very proud of the programme, it’s life changing stuff and we don’t say this flippantly! In the words of a lady who our founder, TeeJay Dowe, admires enormously, Janet Lansbury sums up where knowing your purpose can make a cathartic difference: “In my world there are no bad kids, just impressionable, conflicted young people wrestling with emotions and impulses, trying to communicate their feelings and needs in the only way they know how.”
