Teens UnEdited, in plain language.

Teens UnEdited helps teens ages 13 to 18 claim who they are before the world edits it for them. Created by Glenn Llopis, a leadership strategist, Forbes contributor since 2010 and founder of Glenn Llopis Group, LLC, it teaches The Unmistakably You Method in three acts: Agency (make things happen), UnEdited in the Rooms (do it as yourself) and Reinvention and Conviction (keep becoming, on purpose). The method is adapted from Glenn's 20 years of work with adult leaders through Leadership in the Age of Personalization. Teens claim their identity early, so they don't have to reclaim it later.
