Youth Empowerment Coaching is using the principles of Life Coaching to work with teenagers and young adults, assisting them to improve their motivation and self-esteem and take action to create positive change and achieve their goals.The sessions are focused entirely on the young person, acknowledging where they’re at in life right now, adapted to their learning style, level of awareness and maturity so it works for them and not against them.

The most common results my coaching helps young people achieve include;

* Confidence and self esteem
* Finding direction in life overall or just with career
* Motivation renewal
* Personal development
* Goal setting and achievement
* Career pathway planning
* Job search methods
* Study methods and time management
* Resume and cover letter writing

My approach to coaching young people is like the title suggests; it's all about Empowerment. I believe the best way to help young people is to empower them to help themselves, now and throughout their future.

My style of coaching is positive and future focuses, without turning a blind eye to the current challenges and negative aspects of reality - I coach young people on how to work with their own challenges with confidence, and become self-sufficient in the long run as a result of their coaching experience.

My coaching program is flexible, personally tailored, practical and well-structured to work with each individual young person. Acknowledging where they are now and where they'd like to be, recognising their strengths and building on them to achieve their goals.

1:1 coaching sessions conducted in person and/or over Skype. Offering three packages, including Bronze (4 sessions), Silver (6 sessions) and Gold (9 sessions). Sessions are usually delivered on a weekly basis and days and times can be tailored to suit you.

Providing a range of group coaching and workshops for young people, including skills for job searching, goal setting, leadership and motivation.

My pathway to becoming a successful coach can be partly attributed to my commitment to mentoring youth at Summer Camp USA over a number of years. I was responsible for not only mentoring individuals, but also lead workshops and programs that focused on career pathway planning, goal setting, purpose and direction, self-empowerment and confidence building.

Before becoming a Life Coach, I was a client of Life Coaching myself. At the age of 23. I was at a crossroads in life. I had all these goals, but no idea how to achieve them. I wanted to do more and be more, but lacked the clarity and confidence to get to the next level. Over my coaching experience, my Life Coach helped me to recognise my strengths and reconnect with the real me, instead of trying to be who I thought everyone else wanted me to be. As a result of my coaching, I achieved all my goals that year, advanced in my education and work pathways and continued to achieve bigger and better goals year after year.

Life Coaching changed my life, and with my passion for working with youth, I want to give back to the young people of today and show them they can do almost anything they put their mind to.
