- Websites and services recommended, by age - use this!
Use them for your convenience.
Key resources site is www.thelifemanagementalliance.com - This is the key source for
writeups on subjects for self development and managing one's life. It refers into other
carefully screened websites and services where appropriate.
There are several key sites and services that are tremendous facilitators in the growth and
learning process.
1. The "quantum leap" type workshops that go through the basics and get some key basics
of life to be clear are some of the most effective. I urge anyone, no matter how sophisticated
to take one of these workshops. (Click the link to review.)
2. The in-depth to-the-point booklets that carry out a theme about what works in life are
essential to a deeper understanding of what works. For instance, The Barksdale Foundation
materials on the realities of life and how to create excellent self-esteem and rid yourself of
stress provide a clear basis of understanding like no other pieces I have reviewed. See the
section listing them.

instructor's kit/program. There is a special program for teens and pre-teens. Click on red
underlined link, go to programs, and scroll down. To order more efficiently click here:

Challenge Day - A program designed for middle and high school students originally on
"teasing" but it ends up in one day creating a whole new understanding and constructive
way of being where the bully and the bullied, the rival gang members, and many "opposites"
actually embrace each other in a new progressive dialogue and behaviors that in turn affect
other students in the school.

and tools that work for life.
