How to avoid the top 3 mistakes that make the college process more stressful
with Dr. Maggie Wray
Free Student Goal-Setting Session with a Coach
I believe it is essential for students to have their OWN goals they’re working towards. This is something we do with ALL students we work with 1:1. We created a process for this, because it’s HARD for students to do on their own. If you think your teen might have a hard time with this, we’d be happy to help them! During this meeting we…
- START with their strengths (essential!)
- Discuss what they’d want to get BETTER at (growth mindset)
- Set GOALS for what they’d like to accomplish in the upcoming year (vision!)
- Consider WHY these goals matters to THEM! (not others!)
