YEAh 'Young Enterprising Adults’ came about due to my frustration as a parent that there is no obvious organisation where young adults can come together to realise their ambitions, dreams and talents, by working with each other while being coached, nurtured and guided by the older generation that has been before them in their respective fields. They are leaving the educational system with the mind
set that they have to be employed i.e. working for a boss whereas the harsh reality in the current economic climate is that they will be unemployed, disheartened and likely to be pulled into the gang culture. Yet talking to a few of them I ascertained two things:
1) A lot of them FAIL miserably with their basic communication/interpersonal/presentation skills
2) A lot of them are VERY talented, but have no outlet to showcase these talents or have mentors around them to help nurture their talents. The aim of YEAh is to bring young adults together so they can progress forward by interacting with each other and being guided by the older generation. So the budding photographer can link with the aspiring model, these two can meet the new designer, these three can meet the stylist, these four can meet the fashion blogger, these five can meet the new PR person, the Events Manager, the new web designer, the accountant, the book-keeper and the secretary/admin person etc……… All while learning how to present themselves in the best possible light to the RIGHT people. As a fledgling and new enterprise all help will be welcomed and any constructive criticism will be taken onboard.
