Coaching for Teens & Young Adults

I entered my first leadership program at 16 and truly believe my success today is due to the self-discovery and social challenges I was given at a young age. I spent 16 years at the national level helping young people find their voice in our democracy, seek out multiple perspectives, and build skills to advocate for the changes they wished to see in the world. As a classroom teacher, I saw students struggling emotionally, and realized many of the skills I used to create community change, could be used to create personal change.  I entered my first brain-based life coaching program in 2006.

I experienced my first panic attack at 15 and I did not know it at the time, but I had already formed a habit of taking on too much and trying to be perfect at all of it.  I have gained tools over the years to manage anxiety and training my brain has been the most effective. 

As a former teacher, I know that active learning with a social component is the most effective type of learning (and the most fun). Sessions take place IN PERSON at my office, where students can fully immerse in their growth, practice skills in real time (with another human) and be free from outside distractions.   

These skills are just as important in the workplace as they are in school.  I have helped managers improve their soft skills and take care of their mental health so they can be better leaders. As young adults build self-management skills, they will stand out as potential employees.
