Young adults can feel like they're carrying the world: school and work and family and social success can be a huge burden. Some students who feel overwhelmed find that their performance, in or out of school, can suffer. Some students or parents find that the cycle of failure looms large, and begets even more feelings of uselessness and failure. Some students find that the institutionalized racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, and/or transphobia that wriggles its toxic way through their lives has littered their paths with huge obstacles. Although these students may not need treatment by a mental health practitioner, they can benefit from the guidance and support of a professional coach, a trained and responsible adult mentor who has their best interests at heart. A coach doesn't tell the student what to do, but rather uses compassionate, research-based techniques to draw out the student's inner motivation, values, aspirations, and drive -- and the obstacles s/he sees in walking those paths. From there, the student and coach work together to define and then reach the student's personal, academic, and social goals, without allowing those overwhelming feelings and obstacles to control the narrative. Compassionate coaching work helps young people to feel purposeful, healthy, empowered, resilient, and ready to take on the world. This kind of safe, inclusive, goal-oriented coaching can be beneficial for all students: those who are excelling at school but are feeling overwhelmed or need a little help clarifying their values or future path, those who feel like they are just getting by at school or don't care about their academic progress, and those who have dropped out or are facing serious barriers to success.
If you are a student who needs coaching, or a parent of a student who needs coaching, please get in touch right away. I offer 1-2 pro bono coaching slots each year to families in need. I am based in Portland, OR, and conduct local coaching sessions face-to-face, but I can coach students anywhere in the world over online video platforms. I also lead mindfulness, goal-setting, and other coaching workshops in schools, juvenile detention facilities, and community centers. To learn more and for further pricing and scheduling information, send me a message today.
If you're an adult and feel that you could benefit from this work, I can accommodate you as well! Although I'm certified as a youth coach, youth is not such a faraway place. If I've learned anything from the corporate world, it's that the teaching and classroom management techniques I learned for middle schoolers work equally well on middle-aged middle managers -- and the coaching techniques I learned for youth are just as transferable. I can help you work through career, family, and social issues, help you find your spark, and help you develop a plan to achieve your beautiful goals. If there's an aching space between your real life and your dream life, you could benefit from a compassionate professional coach. Please send me a message and we'll start the work with a free consultation.
