Roz herself was a teenager once! She now has 3 children of her own who have all gone through the trials and tribulations of being a teen and have successfully come out the other side!
She remembers keenly the joys of being a young adult and the feelings of new-found freedom and having loads of fun with friends – it seemed to have been Summer constantly.
But, being honest, there were also times of extreme discomfort, feelings of anxiety as we became aware of the wider world, self-doubt, low mood and crippling low self-confidence. And the friendship issues … and matters of the heart …!
At the time the intense feelings that come with being a teenager can feel insurmountable. But they aren’t.
Young people can benefit from having a Mentor or Coach that they can confide in with the full knowledge and safety of being able to talk without being worried about upsetting a family member or friend, or of a lack of confidentiality.
In the same way that Personal Coaching benefits adults, Roz’s teen and young adult clients can also be reassured of the benefits to them:
- Trusted Confidentiality: a Coach will never discuss your life and personal information with anyone else.
- Non-judgemental listening: a Coach will never judge your past, your values, your goals etc.
- No inner Agenda: A Coach will not have their own agenda when working with you, except to keep helping you move yourself forwards in the direction of your goals.
- Total Qualified Attention: A trained and experienced Coach will know how to listen actively, how to read your body language and the vocabulary you are using to understand exactly how you work and what makes you tick. We grow to understand your personal values together. With this knowledge, your Coach will be able to work with you at maximum efficiency and effectiveness, ultimately educating you about yourself and saving your time and money.
- Coaches Like People: People are their goals are what make Coaches fascinated! Helping clients grow is what makes us happy – it’s what we’re here for.
- Skills and knowledge that last a lifetime: You will learn all about yourself through Personal Coaching in a way that you just can’t do with friends and family. Coaches are trained and equipped to help you reflect on your triggers, your achievements, your way of being in the world and will work with you to iron out some of the ‘creases’ – the skills and lessons that you pick up will stand you in good stead for the rest of your life as you will be able to operate in ways that will serve you in your future instead of repeating old patterns that may have been self-sabotaging or that resulted in negative outcomes.
