WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW CAN KEEP YOU OUT OF COLLEGE!
"Every applicant to Harvard, Yale and Princeton has great grades, courses and test scores. So how do top schools decide who gets in and who doesn't? They look for evidence of critical non-cognitive skills and qualities: Outstanding character, superb leadership ability, strong communications and interpersonal skills.
Great Expectations builds these critical skills and abilities better, faster and more completely than any program I've ever seen. It is simply the ideal developmental process for every college-bound teenager."

THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING IN BUSINESS
"I agree with Frank! Comprehensive leadership development provides a powerful competitive advantage to high-potential managers and executives. But it's even more valuable to developing teenagers!
Great Expectations is the only process I've seen that consistently delivers results as good or better than any of the top Fortune 500 programs for executives. Of course, the fact it does it twenty years earlier in life and for a tiny fraction of the adult price truly puts it in a class by itself! It really is a fabulous contribution, and precisely what every college-bound and career-bound teenager needs!"

COMBINATIONS
Opening the Door to Student Leadership
"Great Expectations is the only college readiness and career readiness process that I've ever endorsed! It delivers everything that teenagers from various backgrounds and interests need to prepare for a happy, productive and satisfying life. Nothing beats a first-class education, however an education without the life and leadership skills young people need is only half complete. Great Expectations fills that need with a unique, fun-filled, high-impact program. It's simply the most complete leadership skills process for teens that I've ever seen."

THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO MANAGING PEOPLE
"I served on the business school faculties at New York University, The City University of New York and St. John's University. Great Expectations was designed with the most rigorous of college-level standards in mind. It is the most comprehensive and results-producing leadership process I've seen, and far superior to any similar program on any college or university campus."
