Coaching For Teens
Teenage years are one of the most complexing and confusing times of our life.
It is as this stage where we become young adults, creating our own behaviours, making some of our own decisions, and generally just trying to work out where we fit in life.
We are easily influenced by others, we are stressed by school workload, and we often try hard to hide our true feelings otherwise that would be "uncool".
Once hitting early adulthood, many teenagers become very confused. Pressures from peers, school, rules, families, sport and just general life can be quite confronting.
Many choose to handle the situations by rebelling. Some choose to withdraw. Others just don't know what to do.
Having had a very difficult adulthood myself, I find it very easy to relate to teenagers.
With the tools, techniques and life skills I have, I work on the following key areas with each each teenager I coach:
* Improving learning ability
* Improving focus and clarity
* Overcoming anxiety and stress
* Improving motivation and drive
* Building self esteem and confidence
* Gaining clarity around higher education and career
I also address any behavioural issues. It is very important these issues are dealt with before they expand and are carried into adulthood.
How The Coaching Works
In this area, I generally like to deal with teenager between the ages of 13 -17.
The coaching sessions would be one on one with the teenager. And would also be private and confidential. With the teenagers permission details could be discussed with parents but only with the individuals consent.
The initial session usually takes about an hour, with the first 30 mins free.
After this initial session, I put a proposal together of the techniques and tools that I will use to address the issues, and discuss this further. Parents may or may not be involved at this stage.
Once we are all on the same page, the coaching commences at a time and date suitable to both parties.
