How empowering the next generation with mentorship, DISC, and real-world leadership lessons builds trust and lasting impact.
Supporting Youth Through Leadership
In a world that often moves too fast, it's easy to forget how much our youth need guidance, encouragement, and connection. Recently, I had the joy of watching both my granddaughters graduate, an incredible milestone that made me reflect on the importance of mentorship, especially in leadership and communication. In this blog, I’ll share insights from my June leadership summit, real-life lessons from inspiring speakers, and practical ways we can support young leaders as they grow into their potential.
Why Investing in Youth Leadership Matters
🎓 Youth today are facing challenges and opportunities we never imagined. Mentorship gives them:
A safe space to explore their potential
Tools for effective communication and confidence
Encouragement from someone who believes in their growth
As leaders, we must prioritize time and resources to support the next generation.
🙌 How to Support Young Leaders Daily
🌱 Share your story, mentorship starts with being real
💬 Ask more than you tell, invite youth to problem-solve
📚 Recommend a leadership book or podcast to spark curiosity
👥 Bring them to workshops, summits, or events
💬 Want to explore how you can support a young leader in your life? Let’s talk! I offer personalized mentoring programs, DISC assessments for youth, and leadership workshops designed to empower the next generation. Let's commit to supporting youth through leadership.

Supporting our youth isn’t a one-time gesture; it’s an ongoing commitment to showing up, listening, guiding, and celebrating every win. The ripple effects of investing in their growth will be felt in our families, communities, and businesses for years to come.
In my leadership coaching and DISC sessions, I work with youth and adults alike to uncover their strengths, improve communication, and grow with confidence. Whether you're a parent, educator, or business leader, mentorship matters.
💡 Lessons from the High Road Leadership Summit
The High Road Leadership Summit in June left me feeling re-energized and deeply inspired. It reminded me that leadership isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about being open to growth, embracing your communication style, and connecting with others in a meaningful way.
✨ Speaker: Carol Myers (Me) - Communication & DISC
Understanding your DISC style strengthens personal and professional relationships
Effective leaders adapt their communication to meet others where they are
Growth begins with self-awareness, and DISC is a powerful tool to start
✨ Speaker: Mary Jane Copps - The Phone Lady
Real conversations still matter in a digital world
Picking up the phone builds trust and clarity
We must be intentional in how we communicate, especially in leadership
✨ Speaker: Sterling Martin - Leadership
Leadership is influence; everyone has it, regardless of title
Great leaders build others up, lead by example, and stay grounded in values
Consistency and integrity are what truly define lasting leadership
💬 The entire summit reinforced that great leaders never stop learning. We grow when we reflect, when we share, and when we stay curious about how we can show up better for ourselves and for others. To read more about the High Road Leadership Summit, check out my last blog by clicking HERE!
