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 one's life. I host virtual group coaching sessions for my adult clients that share the essential principles offered in this teen club. 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 separate critical thinking and life purpose classes 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.

Mastery Evaluation
Frequency: 1-2 per week
Feedback: available upon request
Details: Learners will be encouraged to reflect on what was discussed, learned and developed during the previous sessions, and to be prepared to briefly share their thoughts at the start of the next week's session.

It is recommended (NOT REQUIRED) that the learner successfully complete one of my 3-week teen classes prior to joining (either the Critical Thinking or Passion & Purpose class). This may help to encourage the right mindset from the start.
