I have included this page because I know that hiring a coach to work
with your teenager or college child requires a leap of faith. As a
mother, I would want to know about the experiences of former clients
before deciding on a coach. These are actual excerpts from emails I
have received from parents. The names have been changed for
confidentiality.
Sarah tells me she is done with her coaching sessions. I wanted
to be sure to tell you how much we appreciate all that you did for her
this year. You really have been an inspiration and the fact that she
actually liked going to see you was nothing short of a miracle. We
will see you at graduation - and thanks again so much for what you do.
Thanks for all your efforts! You did help Seth a lot last
semester and he had a lot of success. I can't believe he got a 3.2
after almost flunking out of school and losing his scholarship. I
don't know what we would have done without you!
I have been feeling very upbeat about Nick. He acts as though
he's turned a corner and his life looks to be a lot sunnier now that
he's changed direction. Lately he's been consistently happy, his sense
of humor has come out from under the clouds and, for the most part,
he's conducting his life like a responsible adult. What a thrill this
is for us. I must admit it is hard not to worry sometimes that his
grades won't reflect his efforts, but I am optimistic that he will do
much better than he has before, and perhaps that is all we can fairly
expect. Thanks for everything. You have been wonderful.
It is always so helpful to talk with you. Thanks so much for the
advice
and your emotional support. It gave me a lot to think about, too. You
have given me additional strength to continue on this complex path of
trying to figure out what could help my son. You are a very special
person. Sam would like to continue seeing you for
another month. I believe it has helped him focus on passing his
courses and this is the first time I have seen him follow through for
so long. He did not skip a single class in April and has been doing
his daily math work. He has an opportunity to pass history, biology
and math this semester with some hard work. Thank you for your
assistance. We truly appreciate your work with Leah.
And we agree that 1) she is getting better, and 2) no one other that
herself will make her do her history. She seems to be enjoying school
and life better this year and hopefully this will continue as the year
progresses.
Thanks for everything, Mimi. We did see a great improvement.
In general, it's been great and I think that his self esteem
is higher. It's really worked well for him to have you!
I appreciate your involvement so much.
