Hello!
I am glad you are here. I have something I want to share with you, and that’s my passion for helping teens and young adults prepare to conquer the demands of a highly complex and ever-changing world.
New Course: Guiding Career & Education Choices
I believe that for success in this world, people need: a sense of who they are, a purpose or direction to go in, a plan for getting there, a way to evaluate their plan, and the skills necessary to evaluate and adapt their plan if needed.
Teenagers and young adults are just coming into their own. They are uncovering and discovering who they are and what they want out of life. Many times, they lack critical skills to help them on their way. Skills such as self-awareness, goal-setting and evaluating, self-advocacy, avoiding thinking traps, nourishing a growth- mindset, effective communication, time-management…

Celebrate success!

Listen & Question, Question & Listen
When he was sixteen, my son told me that he could not imagine any job being right for him. He expressed feeling hopeless about his future. MY son? Impossible! I am the most optimistic person on the planet, at least I think I am. Yet, there he was, stuck in a quagmire...
