Class Experience

Do your children dread Mondays? Do they grumble about school, homework and chores while anticipating another weekend to arrive? 

In "Hit the Ground Running" students will be off to a great start to their week! As a certified life coach, I will use powerful coaching techniques to teach your children about perspective and how to create a mindset for living in the present and enjoying every day, no matter the day of the week. 

Each week we do a thinking exercise and have a class discussion and/or coaching around topics such as building positive connections, empowering each other, turning challenges into opportunities, seeing things from a new perspective, goal setting, understanding how we communicate, and more. 

Each student is encouraged to participate and share their thoughts. 

During the last 10 minutes of class the students have a chance to volunteer and take turns teaching something they know and are passionate about to the other students. This gives them a chance to be the "star" and also to get a glimpse of what it's like to be a teacher, the fun parts and the challenges. The purpose of this is to help them see school from a different perspective and gain appreciation for their teachers.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

I'm a certified life coach and I've been working with empowering youth for over twenty years through volunteer opportunities and within a classroom setting. Youth gravitate and look up to me because I have the ability to understand them and connect with them while maintaining reasonable boundaries. And I'm a great team leader and team player. 

I obtained my coaching certifications through Coaching Cognition (an ICF certified and accredited program) and the John Maxwell Team. I'm also certified in team building with "Thinking in and Out of The Box" and "The Five Behaviors of Teams".
