PILLARS
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
In my years of working with at risk kids, I have learned that many of these young kings do not have the slightest idea of what to do with their emotions. Much of our current culture tries to get males to ignore their feelings. Young men learn not only what they are feeling but how to manage and respond to different emotions.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
How many times have we felt the frustration and consequences of our mouth betraying us? Sometimes it seems what we mean and what we actually say could not be farther apart. Developing new ways of communicating both verbally and nonverbally opens so many opportunities as wells avoiding many other issues.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Many times in life we find ourselves in situations where our intentions do not match our execution. We intended for something to produce a positive result, yet in reality we have caused a major conflict. FB2G teaches young men to bring water to fire instead of trying to fight fire with fire.
CRITICAL THINKING
I often ask people what the most important part on a car is. Many people will say, the engine, the wheels, the seat belt. Someone will almost always attempt to be deep and say, "The Driver." But the truth is the most important part on a car is the brakes. Nothing else matters if you can't stop. Young men learn how important it is to think before they act instead of asking themselves, "What was I thinking?" after the damage is done.
