Are you a teenager who's ready to improve your decision-making ability? Would you like to feel more confident about managing school? Or maybe complete college applications with more excitement and less stress?

Then you could benefit from working 1:1 with a professional coach! Individual coaching is a targeted and highly effective method for getting you from where you are now to where you want to be. My clients become better students, get into the colleges that are right for them, and have an easier time dealing with the everyday challenges of being a teenager.

Ten results you'll get from caoching: 

1. Improved self-confidence
2. Enhanced ability to make decisions
3. Demonstration of a higher-level of communication skills
4. Developing a connection with personal values
5. Taking ownership of your areas of interest
6. Better relationships with parents, friends, teachers
7. Increased communication skills
8. Connecting with what brings you joy
9. Feeling empowered - more likely to take action
10. Better time management skills, organizational, and planning skills

I offer 1:1 coaching through two primary options.

"The One" Package: One weekend + one Coach + one Client = at least one completed college application. This package is specifically for teens and families who are ready and willing to spend a focused chunk of time selecting the schools to which the student will apply and then completing at least one application from start to finish. This package retains my services for an entire weekend, Saturday and Sunday.

"I'm Ready to be Coached" Package: This package is a 6-month commitment for teens and their families. My coaching is focused on being a successful student and for me, that breaks down into four primary areas: creating an education plan, developing student success skills, finding and applying to the right college, and transitioning from high school to college. We start with your goals around any or all of these areas and start taking action right away to get your the results you want. We meet three times per month for six months for a total of 18 sessions. Sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes and we can meet in person (in Tallahassee) or over the phone. You also get:

• Two intake sessions, 30 minutes with the client and 30 minutes with a parent or guardian (this is in addition to the 18 sessions)
• 15-minute check-in calls
• Anytime email access
• Guidance on use of FACTS.org and/or Florida Choices
• Administration of personality and interest assessments - great for choosing a college major!
• Discounted coaching for parents who would like to be coached privately
• Written feedback and support via email after each session

Ready to get started? Contact me to receive your complimentary session. We'll spend 40 minutes together to give you an opportunity to experience coaching and determine if it would be a good fit for the teen in your life.  Emails sara@joyfulbydesign.com or call 850-893-3544.
