Goals. Mission. Vision.

^{In 2016 I was asked to teach self-esteem to pre-teen and teen girls sports teams. I felt more aligned to teaching girls about their self worth, how to raise it up if it drops down and how to maintain a strong connection to their ever-present self-worth. There are many ways to achieve esteem but at the root of all self-esteem sits self-worth. I believed that by emphasizing self-worth, I could make the most profound and lasting impact on these girls' lives.}

^{I had already been on my own journey to discover ways to increase my own self-worth and experimented with different tools for 20 years plus, but after this request I began devoting all my time to researching the topic. The combination of my own experimenting with different tools and concepts, and the ones I tried from my later research helped me build the basis for teaching this program in person. Since 2016 I have evolved the program over the years to where it lives today.}

^{The landscape of social media has dramatically changed since I started this journey. TikTok launched a year after I created this program and Facebook had already been around for a decade with Instagram not far behind. It’s upsetting to see as more and more research is published how disproportionately teen girls are affected by social media.}

^{Over the years since 2016, I have slightly changed course and after reading a lot of the research feel it’s key for girls to take this program before they join social media as a preventative method for all those scary stats on teen girls in today’s world. Of course, the program is still very useful for girls already on social media, I would say it is critical they take the program if they are already on social media.}

^{Every girl in foster care, juvenile detention, long-term medical leave from school, in a recovery program, in a shelter, or in a home with limited financial resources is able to apply for one of our scholarships to be awarded access to the program. It is an honour to also offer scholarships to the program to teen girls that are Indigenous Peoples. (Please fill out the Scholarship Request Form).}

^{I donate 1.5% from each course purchased to three different charities which are explained on the Purchase page.}

^{I, Rebecca, have been a female leader in the tech industry for many years and have worked with some of the biggest corporations on earth as clients. I have helped a number of businesses grow large enough to either be bought out by large global corporations or listed on stock exchanges. But I am also a Teen Self-Worth Coach and Mentor and the founder of Worthfulness. Other pieces of who I am are a Canadian, a Mother of a daughter, and a wife.}

^{Throughout my career, I’ve often found myself as the only woman at the executive table, or occasionally one of two, depending on the country. Despite my success, the gender imbalance in leadership roles is stark.} 

^{The UN projects that at the current pace, gender equality in the highest government positions won’t be achieved for another 130 years. Dare we even imagine a world where women predominantly hold government roles—this concept should not be foreign to our girls or most of them will never consider government roles. Imagine being told it will be 130 more years for women to make up only 50% of the government.} 

^{I want girls to grow up with an unshakable connection to their self-worth, empowering them to fill executive boardrooms, fill government offices that hold power and become law makers. This should be as normal as the current male-dominated leadership structures, where currently women are often still tokens. Let this be considered just as normal as all the board rooms that are only men and all the government offices and law makers that are only men.}

^{For girls to drive this change, they must first believe in themselves and their leadership abilities - in order to force change in the power dynamics of decision makers and those who make up those roles. At the core of this belief in themselves, lies their self-worth.}
