Empowering the Next Generation of Leaders

Every April, Maxwell Leadership unites leaders and mentors around the world to empower the next generation through the Global Youth Initiative (GYI). As part of this global movement, McLean Coaching & Consulting proudly hosts G.E.N.S — the Global Youth Empowerment Nexus Summit, a transformational experience for youth ages 9 to 19. At G.E.N.S, young people dive into interactive workshops, dynamic speakers, and engaging activities that build confidence, communication, and leadership skills. This is more than an event—it’s a movement helping youth discover their potential, lead with purpose, and make a difference in their schools, communities, and beyond.

Build Confidence and Leadership Skills

Youth learn to express themselves, make decisions, and lead with courage in everyday situations.

Develop Life-Ready Skills

Interactive sessions focus on communication, teamwork, and problem-solving—skills that prepare youth for school, career, and life success.

Connect with Inspiring Mentors and Peers

Participants network with like-minded students and mentors who motivate them to grow and dream bigger.

Be Part of a Global Movement

Students join the worldwide Maxwell Leadership Global Youth Initiative, empowering young people everywhere to create positive change in their communities.
