WHAT IS IGNITION!™
Ignition! is a journey of personal development and discovery designed specifically to empower young people.
Ignition! uses a combination of coaching, training, conversation and exploration to empower young people to build confidence, boost self-worth, and provide vision and direction when choosing options and career ideas.
Ignition! has been created to ensure that young people know it doesn’t matter where their life began, how their life has unfolded, or where they currently are, it matters that they discover who they are. Not their name or labels, but who they really are and what they are naturally gifted and talented at. Einstein said we are all geniuses, but we have different kinds of genius. Let’s discover yours and give your life energy and meaning.
As parents we want the best for our kids. We want them to be happy, healthy and confident, without wanting to ‘interfere’ or ‘push’ too much. Tough huh? Ignition! is particularly relevant to parents wanting to make sure their child chooses a career path which will suit them best. Especially, to see their child grow in confidence and self-worth.

The journey begins with a young person engaging with an accredited Ignition! Travel Guide; this can be any Ignition! Certified professional.
Together they will set a Departure Date and the Traveller (young person) will be invited to Check-in online, completing a short multiple-choice quiz and generating their personal Boarding Pass. |
Know Your Fuel
The Boarding Pass shows them their best personal mix of Fuel, i.e. activities that will give them the energy to live their lives in the happiest, most fulfilled way and allow them to reach their full potential. Find Your Flow It also tells them, in brief, how they are likely to show up in the world, what they are naturally talented at, what will challenge them, what they may find easy and what they might find hard. |
The Boarding Pass forms the start of a conversation to discover if this is who they really are and to explore the insights and questions raised.
As they journey forward, each Traveller is issued with their own Passport: a workbook that the Travel Guide and Traveller go through together, following a structured pathway of personal development and self-discovery. Each step of the journey is a destination and so, just like in a real passport, a Stamp in your Passport says when you have arrived. |
