For Parents
If you are feeling:
Frustrated with your student's lack of follow through?
Confused with how to support your child in college?
Embarrassed by their underperforming?
Doubting their readiness to handle college life?
Saddened by their anxiety and overwhelm?
Reluctant to keep paying tuition for little progress toward a meaningful degree and job?
I understand!
Many parents struggle to support their college child when they are not doing as well as "should be", especially when they're away from home.
​
Suggestions to go talk to resources on campus fall on deaf ears! Yet, parents know that their college child often tunes out their advice or suggestions too.
​
So what then? Wait for more stress and failure?
College aged children want to do better, but they often don't know where to start, or how to stay accountable to the changes they are trying to make! There's always so much going on, and it's easy to start to do something different but then revert back to old habits when FOMO sets in, or things get hard!
​
The coaching I offer is different than what the colleges offer:
​
-
Consistent, skill based coaching, to work on multiple areas that are all in play holding student back.
-
Neutral, judgment free space for student to explore what's going on for them, not just one area of life.
-
Expert view on student's habits and approach to academics, social life, personal life, and future planning.
-
Opportunity for student to evaluate what is working and what is not.
-
Accountability with regular calls to check in and assess progress in real time, not just a one-off meeting.

Even just this call can help you as the parent feel seen and heard as a parent managing this chapter in your child's journey into adulthood!
