Know & Tell: Why It Matters

Every young adult needs two things to move confidently into adulthood:
clarity about who they are and language to communicate it.

Most don’t have either.

Gallup reports that fewer than 20% of students can clearly name their strengths. Yet students who can identify their strengths are three times more likely to feel confident and six times more likely to be engaged in their work. Clarity changes behavior. Language changes direction.

At Know & Tell, we teach students and young adults what most people never learn:
your abilities are not vague- they are measurable, observable, and practical.
When students understand how they think, learn, decide, communicate, and work, everything shifts. Choices become clearer. Anxiety decreases. Motivation increases. The path forward begins to make sense.

But knowing is only the first step.

Telling. This is putting those abilities into words, decisions, conversations, and written communication. Confidence is built here. Employers say only 17% of graduates can clearly articulate their strengths. This is not a character issue; it’s a language issue. No one ever taught them how.

When a young adult learns to know and tell, they learn to:

• Walk into a classroom or interview with clarity

• Make decisions from identity instead of pressure

• Communicate who they are with confidence and honesty

• See their abilities as tools, not mysteries

Clarity creates confidence. Language creates direction. When young adults can name who they are and tell it with strength, they begin to thrive in school, work, relationships, and life.

That’s the heart of Know & Tell.
