Coaching: Personal Guidance for You
A personal coaching session is a great way to process the discoveries you make in the Great Mountain Plan-X Adventure. We'll help you better understand your current situation, explore your options and decide on the best way forward. Coaching is done online or in-person.
What is Life or Career Coaching?
Just like a sports coach, a life or career coach can help you get from where you are to where you want to be. Instead of working on physical sports skills we explore a life, academic or career-related issue you are dealing with. A coach will help you understand your current situation better, imagine some good outcomes and decide on your next steps.
The topic you bring to a coaching session can be about anything. You may want to dig a bit deeper into the discoveries you made in the Great Mountain Plan-X Adventure. You might just want to explore a tough choice about school subjects, or how to get better marks, or resolve a difficult issue. Coaching can be simply about having someone to listen and help you find some fresh ideas.
Sessions can be one-off events or a series of three or more.
