Teenage Personal Development Consultancy |

Over the past few days I've attended a conference in Oradea on "Education and Social Change". It was good to meet so many people interested in developing and improving the Romanian education system.
Although I've listened in on a lot of interesting topics throughout the
works of the conference, the one thing I'd like to make a note of was
an idea that came to my attention accidentally during the last session
of the conference. Amidst all the researchers and university professors
a man stood up to ask a question and began by introducing himself as a
business consultant. The question itself is not relevant to my point in
this post. He went on to explain that one of the things he is a
consultant for is personal development, and that he does a sort of
personal development/career steering work with young people.
I'll try to explain things. He basically takes a teenager, let's say 12
to 18 years old, the kind who studies 6 hours in school every day and
then 4 more hours in private sessions due to the current generalized
tendency of the parents to strive for over-achievement, and works on
optimizing their activity. The goal isn't necessarily to pump as much
knowledge and wisdom into the poor children but to enable them to also
live/"be children" just for a little while each day, on the side of all
the work they have to go through. I was impressed by the idea, both
from the humanitarian and the business opportunity point of view.
