What Clients are Saying...
Speaking from personal experience as a high school guidance counselor at a school where numerous students have participated in IDEALS over the years and most recently as a parent when my own son went through the program, all I can say is thanks to Jack and IDEALS for all you do for young people.
HS Guidance Counselor / Parent
The IDEALS program has been a major key to my success in my first year of college. With the skills that I learned it enabled me to assert myself as a leader even as a freshman. The investment that Jack and the other instructors have made in my life has forever altered me and I will be forever indebted to them and this program.

It’s been a little over a month since IDEALS ended. However, I think about it constantly. Each time I go to plan, communicate and set goals a little reminder pops in my head from those eight weeks. These reminders have made me want to write to you and express my appreciation for the time, effort and care that you put into the younger generation.
Chad Bureau - 2015 IDEALS Student Atlanta
My son’s participation in the program this past spring has been truly a life changing and growth experience for him. I’ve watched his self -confidence grow, as well as, his desire to branch out of his comfort zone and take some risks. I credit your program for that!
Kim Jarrett - Parent of Aiden Jarrett, 2015 IDEALS Student Atlanta
The IDEALS leadership Program has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. It greatly improved my ability to flourish as a leader on the athletic field and was huge in helping me off the field. I have used so much of what we learned through my college days at Georgia Tech and will continue to do so as I now start my business career.
Former Student
After my son went through the IDEALS program I saw a big difference in his decision making in all aspects of his life. His strengths as a leader socially, academically and athletically were raised to a new level. I applaud the choices my son has made through his college days and now as he begins his career and family. I give a great deal of credit to IDEALS for those choices.
Parent
I can't tell you how much IDEALS has affected me. Every time I have a problem or assignment, I find myself looking back over the material we covered in class. IDEALS has permanently affected me and the way I do things.

Why are Soft Skills important?

Employers are desperately looking for employees that possess good soft skills like time management, decision making, personal accountability, and office etiquette. They don’t have the time to teach these skills once a person joins their company. As a result, there is high turnover of young people entering the workforce during their first year of employment.

Now schools have an opportunity to fill that void and meet this need through the Next Step subscription program.

Endorsed by the Georgia Dept of Education

The Next Step program is part of the larger IDEALS Foundation for high school students. Due to its success and popularity, the Georgia Dept. of Education requested IDEALS to develop a proprietary soft skills program for high school students.
