Mindset coaching is life coaching with an emphasis on mindset.

Life Coaching is about supporting our teens in living their best life! Just like a baseball coach helps children develop skills, confidence, and ability to thrive in baseball; a mindset coach helps teens develop the skills, confidence, and ability to thrive in life.

The skills learned are how to manage life’s challenges, mistakes, disappointments and failures. Guiding teens how to how to have confidence, pick themselves up and never give up. Developing self confidence from the inside out and stretching outside their comfort zones, while learning the importance of being in the now.

In life coaching we use mindfulness integrated with mindset. 

Mindfulness means to deliberately pay attention to whatever you are doing, right now. These pages can be read mindfully or with a mind not fully focused and aware that you are reading an article. 

Everything except sleep can be done mindfully. We can eat mindfully or we can think about past or future event without paying attention to our eating. 

 How does it work? 

While most of what we achieve is by “doing”, mindfulness achieves its ends by “not doing,” simply by observing. It seems to achieve its success by allowing us to see our thoughts and emotions for what they are, thoughts we are having at the moment and emotions we are experiencing. Thoughts like “I must be stupid” are subtle and we generally believe them uncritically.

 By being mindful of our thoughts we gradually get the idea that the are just thoughts that we are having and there is no need to believe them uncritically. Similarly with a feeling like “anger” we start to realize that it is a feeling that is currently strong within us but no more than that, we currently have anger, but it doesn’t define us and it will pass. We stop identifying with the thoughts and emotions. Our mind ceases to be in the control of strong feelings and thoughts and slowly comes under our own control.

This shifts our mindset! 

All online coaching includes around one hour sessions, check ins with the parents, and individualized goal setting beginning of each session. We focus on learning our self-worth, self-discovery, and self-awareness. 

A typical session goes as follows; review of what we will do that session, a quick “how are you feeling” check in, practicing coping skills throughout our sessions, instructional discussion, mindfulness activity,  “how are you feeling” reflection,  gratitude sharing.

• The programs provide tools and resources to empower children to be leaders of their own life by taking full responsibility for their journey.

• While being in the program, children learn how to overcome self-doubt, manage mistakes, and deal with peer pressure so they can develop strong self-esteem and powerful self-confidence for a lifetime. Each child’s month will look different than another, every child gets their own, individual instructional discussions. 

• The programs are designed in such a way that children feel like they’re playing: they’re easy and fun, but also teach skills and provide steps to take action.

• We learn by conversations, activities, humor, and stories to spark discussion rather than talking directly about challenges or situations. This helps them feel at ease because they are not being judged or put on the spot. We call this “teaching without preaching” or “learning without lecturing”.
