KaleidoEye’s core beliefs
1. Positive, sustainable change occurs from the inside-out.
2. Leadership development is a critical component of one’s success.
3. Students learn best when they have an opportunity to “own” what they’ve learned.
4. The accumulation of knowledge is not enough. True growth occurs when students are given an opportunity to transform knowledge into wisdom.

Parent Takeaway
Be a coach for your child with regard to self-awareness.
When you attempt to modify your child’s behavior, you are addressing the symptoms.
• Why did you do that?• You need to make a
better choice.• You know better than
that.
When you help your child modify their own heart, you are addressing the cause.
• What are your thoughts about that situation?
• How did that make you feel?
• It’s okay to feel that way.

The KaleidoEye lenses
Owner – I am the driver of my life and therefore take full responsibility for my current circumstances. I choose “what is”.
Curious/Creative – My imagination is my greatest gift.
Gratitude – I can be grateful in any circumstance.
Empathic – I can attempt to “see” life through his/her eyes.
iLens – Who I am is…
Powerless – I blame, complain, or make excuses about my circumstances. I give my power away.
