Change Your Life

What is possible with a different perspective?

When youth and young adults are given the tools to strengthen their innate creativity, follow their natural curiosity, and understand why their perspective matters, they grow their capacity to overcome personal and global challenges. Spotlighting and championing their creativity, curiosity, and self-efficacy clears the stage for youth to become the changemakers they seek.

How does coaching help young changemakers in life?

Coaching supports youth as they move from a place of limitation and stagnation into a place of possibility and action.

Hello!

My name is Tasha McGhie, and I'm so glad you're here.

I'm the Founder and Executive Director of Bend Your Lens Coaching, LLC, and creator of Worth Writing.

I champion youth and young adults.

I believe that no one is ever too young or too small to make a BIG difference. Helping youth and young adults harness their imaginations and problem-solving skills leads to self-actualization, more confidence in the face of uncertainty, and a deeper understanding of intrinsic motivation.

Whether you're here to learn more about youth coaching and it's potential for generating transformative outcomes or you're concerned about the state of writing in America, I look forward to discovering how we can become allies in the mission to generate perspectives of possibility within us all.

(Also, ending in a preposition is "Where it's at!" Yes, some writing humor for you.)

...because your story is worth writing

We amplify youth voice, share their stories, and encourage writing in every form.

Through our partnership with Read Fort Worth, we combine best practices set by the Summer Scholars Collaborative with a dash of whimsy to deliver engaging writing programs that support gains in literacy. We believe that reading gives you access and writing gives you power.
