Teen Empowement Workshop
Membership to Unleash Teens' Potential
Glom Initiative's Teen Empowerment Workshop Membership offers adolescents a place and space to explore, unpack and share teen-specific experiences. We all know how weird and difficult the teenage years are. The ups and downs of puberty create dynamic shifts in our teens' moods, bodies and behavior. Our Teen Empowerment Workshops provide a place for teens to gather and process their experiences in a safe, controlled and positive environment. Members learn tools to help them better understand themselves and others in a respectful way. They in turn practice and apply the introduced techniques in that nurturing and supportive space. In this way, your teen is provided an opportunity to safely develop independence and express their individuality.

A unique learning experience for every single member
SELF - EFFICACY
Self-efficacy is an individual’s belief in their capacity to act in the ways necessary to reach specific goals. It’s our belief in our capability to successfully accomplish a task. Self-efficacy affects every area of human endeavor. The concept was originally proposed by the psychologist Albert Bandura (1999).
CONFIDENCE
Confidence helps us feel ready for life’s experiences. When we are confident, we are able to take initiative toward our goals and capitalize on opportunities instead of retreat from them. When things don’t work out at first, confidence helps us try again. However, teens who have low self-confidence may be less likely to try new things, seek support or engage socially. When they fail at something, they may be less likely to try again. A lack of self-confidence can hold teens back from reaching their full potential.
SELF - AWARENESS
Self-awareness is having a good knowledge and understanding of yourself including being aware of your own feelings and character. Helping our teens practice self-awareness is about learning to better understand why they feel what they feel and why they behave in a particular way.
MOTIVATION
Motivation is that fire up feeling that we have to accomplish something. Motivation has been linked to academic achievement (Quane & Rankin, 1998). It’s linked to brain chemistry (neurotransmitters); because it is an emotion, motivation is inconsistent. Motivation is not a reliable tool for making progress because it fluctuates like other feelings that we have. Adolescents need more than motivation to successfully attain the objectives they set out for themselves.
Tracy Lamar-Ray, Founder
Founder and Facilitator
Access to knowledge is a critical determinant of long-term well-being and is essential to individual freedom, self-determination, self-sufficiency and thriving. Education is critical to people’s real freedom to decide what to do and who to be. Educating adolescents about their development builds their self-confidence and broadens their understanding of what is possible for them. My independent research of adolescent shame found a correlation between high levels of shame in teens and lower expectations for their future. It is for this reason that I am passionate about providing support, guidance, and information to empower adolescents through one of the the most challenging periods of human development.
As a mother of two adult sons, I have intimate knowledge of how challenging raising happy and healthy teenagers can be. Understanding human development is very dear to me because I feel that it is pivotal to better relationships with ourselves and others. My studies at Harvard have provided me the opportunity to share what I have learned about psychology with a broader community so others can realize their visions and thrive.
“I believe that our lives are meant to be lived intentionally, passionately, and purposefully.” Tracy Lamar-Ray

Teen Workshop gives me a chance to talk about things that are important to me without the disagreements that I end up having with my parents. It's nice to know that other teens go through the same sorts of stuff that I am dealing with.
