You are going Places
…Need Help Planning Your Trip?

Going to college is an exciting and scary time for student and parent alike. As a parent, we want our child to be happy and successful. As a student, you are entering a new world with a goal of creating a life and career that you love. It can all be confusing and a bit overwhelming.

Zeal Coaching can help you gain confidence and clarity about your future!

Americans will invest 4-5+ years and over tens of thousands of dollars on their education.  Unfortunately, very little is invested in helping families explore and plan their child’s career direction, much less their “purpose” in life.

At Zeal Coaching for Life and Careers, we ignite teens (and adults too!) to realize their natural super powers and align those to career choices that have meaning and value to them. Our priority is to discover your “sweet spot”; where your skills, passion and the needs of the world come together.

Let us help Design a Life that Rocks YOU!!!

Values for Teen Coaching

The Goal: to ignite teens to realize their natural super powers and align those to career choices that have meaning and value to them. Our priority is to discover your “sweet spot”; where your skills and passions meet the needs of the world.

  • This is your one life. Take charge and responsibility to live it to your fullest.
  • You are smart. There are many ways to be smart. Maybe it is not in ways that have been measured well while you were in school, or maybe you were considered outstanding in school. No matter, you have gifts and intelligence the world needs.
  • You have an internal guidance system, a GPS, which knows your best path. Through becoming self-aware and exploring options, your GPS will help you realize where you want to go and how to get there.
  • You will be most satisfied with your life and career when it fits your natural strengths, talents, personality and values. You will know it is right when it feels exciting and scary, and you want to do it anyway.
  • Intentionally, try as many things as possible. It is hard to know what you like if you have limited experiences and knowledge.
  • You have fears and yeah-buts that make you believe you are not “good enough”. We all do. You are good enough, so let’s uncover those fears and squash them, because they just hold us back!
  • Your parents know you best, care about you the most and are proud of you. They are also afraid for you. Be kind to them, you are their most valued treasure.
  • This is a no judgment zone. I care about you, but have no judgment about what direction you go. My role is to assist you in discovering that direction.
  • Finding your best life and career is a journey, it will mostly likely change over your life. Let’s figure out where you want start.
  • No matter what you choose it is all going to be okay.

“It is hard to know what your favorite flavor of ice cream is if you have only tasted vanilla.”
–Christy Shell, M. Ed.
