Led by an experienced certified confidence coach, this class is for teenagers who are ready to unlock their passions and purpose in life as they prepare for young adulthood and the real world. Through engaging sessions focused on self-discovery, reflection, confidence-building, and action planning, teens will gain invaluable insights into what truly ignites their enthusiasm and drives them forward. From uncovering hidden talents to exploring potential career (and other life) paths, our holistic approach empowers teens to cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves and their aspirations so they enter the next chapter of their lives with more purpose and confidence. This class does not use tests, quizzes, grades, etc. We utilize interactive learning, some lecture for guidance, reflective and thoughtful questions for the learners to consider and grow from, and straightforward explorative homework between class sessions.
Learning Goals
In this class, students will learn:
1. The importance of passion and purpose in shaping their lives.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I'm an experienced and certified personal/life coach (Master Certified by the Certified Life Coach Institute) with a focus on confidence, creative and critical thinking, gratitude, clarity, intentionality, truth, resilience, and taking action in life (with a real plan). I host virtual group coaching sessions for my adult client that are based on the same essential principles offered in this teen class. I have personal experience inspiring older teens in my life to think clearer and deeper about their life and future (to be more intentional, focused and confident), and have helped them work through their thoughts and ideas in a way that empowers them with newfound confidence. I've also taught a critical thinking class for teens on Outschool, and have spent time observing and learning from an experienced former public school teacher (current homeschool teacher) of teenagers in order to get an even deeper understanding of the unique learning needs of this age group to offer the most value possible to students.
