Teens! |

New to Ignite this year, there is an exclusive Teen section for your teen girl ages 11-17.

The teen sessions are interactive, FUN sessions! You won’t find boring, sit-down lectures at IGNITE, but effective, interactive breakthroughs for your teen. See the teen speakers below.

Teens are the future and at IGNITE we are committed to equip teen girls with the essential tools to live confident, joyful and amazing lives.

They will be experiencing:

Why we think the way we do. This session gives teens insight to their own personality and the personality of those around them. With these tools, teens stop beating themselves up for the “way they are wired,” and have understanding with how other people behave, including their peers, friends and family. This fully allows people to have better connections with everyone.
The Beauty MYTH myth…it’s really a LIE. With social pressures all around us, teen girls especially are being bombarded with Photoshopped images as truth. In this session, the teens will discover their real, unique beauty and learn to love themselves just as the perfect creations they are.
Self Love, Self Identity and Self Esteem – With a true sense of their unique perfection (yes, we said perfection), teens will unleash their inner confidence.
The Judgement Trap – Learning to love what is and stop judging themselves and others will create more harmony in their own life, in addition to creating unity with others for deeper connections, less drama (hooray!) and more acceptance.
Own your voice – Your Teen has a voice and when they learn how to use it with authentic power, they will create the life they want. They will learn how to enroll others in their lives and say “No” in the event someone attempts to overstep their power.
What You Focus on Expands – Learn the universal laws of attraction to attract more of what you DO want and let go of what you don’t want!

Teen tickets are for girls ages 11-18. Teens can attend Thursday’s bonus session for FREE. Teens can also attend the Friday sessions; if teens cannot attend Friday’s main sessions due to school, their teen program officially starts on Friday evening at 6:30 p.m. Exclusive teen breakout sessions that take place all day on Saturday.

Meet the Teen Speakers:

Christi Richards

Teen Lead: Christi Richards

Christi’s passion lies in assisting parents and teenagers develop deeper, healthier, stronger
connections. In working with teens for over seven years, she’s witnessed first hand how parents are doing their best raising their children using the same methods their parents used to raised them…not realizing that they are in a completely different world than when they were kids. The old methods just aren’t cutting it anymore, and many children feel very disconnected from their parents and the other people in their life. This affects their relationships, their academics, their success and their happiness.

About Christi: Christi Richards is the founder of Elevated Connections where she coaches parents and teenagers how to have deeper connections with themselves so they can formulate stronger, healthier connections with each other.

Being raised in a divorced home with step-parents on both sides, Christi has also divorced and is raising a son with two step-parents. She watched the cycle of how damaging parents (herself included) can be to their children and how the children disconnect in protection of themselves. Her quest to find ways to better her son’s life led her to the discovery and research of how common “the disconnect” between parents and teens is. The processes and techniques she uses help people discover who they really are, so they in turn can then discover how to get outside themselves.

Her mission is to help as many families as possible experience deeper, more loving, more
connected relationships and realize how it affects every aspect of their life when they truly learn how to “connect” with everyone around them.
