Coaching for Parents

Parents want what’s best for their children.

Conveying confidence is essential to success; as a parent, this is something you want to instill in your teen. You want them to speak confidently, ask great questions, be polished and put together – and not look awkward or disinterested.

It’s normal for a parent to feel proud and want to support and guide their teen to make the right choices.

Be confident! That’s what you want for your teen. But then, you find yourself filling in the answers and asking questions on college tours. You’re their biggest supporter, ensuring they’re not late for school and bringing their lunch or homework when they’ve forgotten it.

You hope, no, you know they appreciate all you do for them. They’re often too busy or preoccupied to say so.

Lacking confidence has consequences.

Life has taught you how important those first few days are at a new job.

You can get lost, show up late, or mix up people’s names, but it’s all forgiven because you’re new.

Alternatively, you can go in prepared and wow people because you were indispensable from the beginning.

Clearly, the latter choice shows more confidence and poise. How do you convey this to your teen?
