Benefits to Parents
This can be a difficult time for parents who are helping their students leap to college and then to their first career. I’ve been in your shoes with each of my four children have learned from the experiences of the hundreds of students I have coached.
University and college tuition is one of the most important (and expensive) investments you and your family can make. By helping your child better focus on what they truly want and need, we can save time, angst, and expense.
What makes this program different is that we start with the student’s “whole life”, and orient our program’s modules to layer weave in self-knowledge modules. The more your student can articulate their strengths, passions, and career interests, the less likely they will succumb to peer pressure, anxiety, and burnout. Is there any greater gift that we can give our children than helping them to become more secure and resilient adults?
You helped me to have an Ivy League experience at a state university. Where once I was unsure about my career, I am now loving my university experience and feel more confident and excited about my future. Thank you.

You have helped me discover elements about myself that I never deemed possible. This self-awareness helped me to stand out and get into my dream school. Thank you once again for doing an extraordinary job! .

My daughter loved the program! It was an introspection for herself and an awareness of others. I’m excited because I know from my own experience that she’ll be able to use her new knowledge for not only the big milestones coming up but for her whole life. She is thriving… thank you, thank you, thank you!
