FAQ's

• If your teen has low self-esteem, suffers from not having friends at school, hangs around with the wrong peers, or is not having the ideal parent-teen dynamic through home communication, it’s a great time to reach out.
• If you’d like your teen to learn more skills for life – and to be more independent – we also teach financial mindset, body image, dating, self-respect, negotiation and more.

• Our approach is a combination of hands-on activities, group discussions/explorations, informative videos and teaching. We use over a decade of proven solutions and methodologies. Teens have said that they like how interactive the sessions are and that they feel like they are participating at an equal level, where they can really share themselves, which is something they shy away from in a school/teacher environment.

• A Coach is especially someone to seek out during any transition period such as going into middle school, high school or college. However, seeking out a coach for personal transitions – such as a divorce, a death in the family, new expectations about responsibility -- can be as important as academic transitions

Yes, the program does work with teens with anxiety and depression. However, if your teen is an immediate risk to themselves or others, we recommend that they get support from a therapist and can then, simultaneously do the program.

Here’s what you can tell your teen to expect:

• An atmosphere of compassion, respect, and confidentiality, where they can be fully self-expressed. With that said, if teens express the need to harm themselves or others, parents will be immediately informed.
• Fun and new friendships
• Practical life skills and knowledge, which can be used to get future jobs and/or to improve school results
• Special guest presentations about such topics as health, body image, money management and more
• Powerful quizzes: Learn more about teen’s unique values, passion and personality
• Walking away a deeper understanding of themselves and how to succeed in what’s most important to them!

• Teens will walk away from every workshop with tools and transferrable life skills they can immediately apply, as well as a new perspective on how to better communicate with their family, friends and the world at large. And we’re committed to giving parents a verbal progress report, so parents can make sure the learning is transferred into real life.
• In terms of setting realistic expectations about growing self-esteem, resiliency and accountability, it usually takes at least 3 months to see results, because it’s not just about learning the new skills, it’s about making them a habit in their daily lives.
• To see the most significant and long-lasting results, we recommend that you consider having your teen participate in our year-round coaching program.
