Coaching with me
RESULTS & GOALS
Together we will identify your student's learning and thinking style, and how that applies to their studies. We will identify goals and put systems in place to assist with achieving those goals. We will discuss communication with parents and teachers, as well as define values and work toward active leadership to help your student get and stay motivated!
HOW I LIKE TO COACH
I enjoy an interactive style of working with teens. I set the precedent up front that this process will only work if we are both actively engaged and if the student wants to do this. While I will do all I can on my end to help your student with systems and accountability, the ultimate final result will be up to the student. We will have open and interactive conversations that will be aimed at helping the student to learn how to identify solutions that they will use lifelong.

PROFESSIONAL AND LIFE EXPERIENCE
As someone who was a teen who struggled academically, I can personally relate to my clients. I got good grades, but I was bored, which caused me to lose motivation to graduate and to succeed in school. I had trouble staying focused on the tasks I needed to do to achieve my goals, and even started to lose sight of those goals. I studied the principles taught by Covey and Carnegie, and found that I started to re-gain momentum. I had a mentor who believed in me and coached me. Seeing the value that that had in my life, I want to provide the same for my clients.
After achieving that confidence, organization, and motivation I went on to receive my degree in business and worked in the corporate world in the IT industry for many years. I was successful in my career, and left corporate in 2002 to raise my children and work from home. I have since launched my coaching business, and consider it a privilege to work with teens to help them succeed and thrive!
