The primary focus of Blue Print Leadership Academy Life Skills Sessions is to share and instill in students the values needed to develop into the leaders of tomorrow. The BPLA Life Skills Sessions will help students develop a firm foundation upon which to grow through positive role modeling and follow up. We understand that overcoming the obstacles in life builds strong character. Our focus is where the students can go, what they are capable of achieving and the steps necessary in getting there regardless of where they are now. We will seek to establish a "can do" belief system in our young people.

The BPLA Life Skills Sessions uses the philosophy that self-esteem is developed through belief in oneself. This leads to sense of self-worth and value. Our hope is to empower the students with the necessary tools to achieve to their greatest potential combined with support and unconditional love and acceptance. We desire to develop students that see opportunity in every problem that they come encounter with. We are working to expand the Life Skills Sessions into every school throughout the nation.

Successful people value their time.

Winner's guide and influence individuals to reach their full potential.

Winners are effective decision makers, problem solvers, trouble shooters, and take charge individuals that warrant nothing other than positive results. 

The company you keep can be the difference between: Success and defeat, life and death, happiness and sadness or joy and pain.

The material things you have can vanish just as quickly as you acquired them.

You can affect more people by thinking and being positive than negative people can affect you.

Winners are driven by ambition, not circumstances.

When your back is up against the wall or you fall flat on your face, you have to reach deep within you soul and pull all of your power, courage and reserved motivation to the surface. It will catapult you forward and well beyond the adversity in the road.

Positive energy is contagious and winners possess a lot of it.

It's never too late to change your attitude.

         No one is going to be more
            excited about your life
             and dreams than you!
