Careers & Callings
Are you looking for a job?
A career? Or perhaps a calling?
Coaching helps you gain clarity around your work values, skills, and strengths so you can seize meaningful professional opportunities. It also helps you understand your motivation when deciding whether you need a job, want to build a career, or must put your passion in perspective as you cultivate your calling.
Career coaching supports you in building the future you envision in the following ways:
- Leveraging skills and passions with intention
- Achieving significant career goals
- Confidently innovating new technologies
- Brainstorming creative projects or solutions
- Powerfully telling one's personal story
- Proving one has applicable experience

"The human life is inherently creative. It’s why we all have different resumes. We all create our own lives through this restless process of imagining alternatives and possibilities." - Sir Ken Robinson, PhD
Changemakers
Turning obstacles into opportunity.
Changemakers are empathetic to others. They are keen observers of life around them and are compelled to shake up the status quo in an effort to create a better future for all, often teasing courage from compassion.
Coaching can equip young changemakers with the tools needed for success:
- Identifying social issues that mean something
- Learning how to nourish empathy in oneself while creating healthy boundaries
- Finding the motivation to act for a cause greater than oneself
- Connecting with one's innate creativity
- Reframing failure as progress
- Understanding how to collaborate with others toward a shared goal
"A changemaker is someone who is taking creative action to solve a social problem." - Learning Lab
Social & Emotional Well-being
Our internal lives inform our external lives.
Healthy social-emotional skills help us learn and grow into the best versions of ourselves. Our attitudes, behaviors, and values inform our thoughts, feelings, and actions, creating the building blocks of our lived experiences.
Coaching supports youth as they examine their thoughts and emotions while growing into who they truly are. It can help youth become more self-aware and take action through intentional behavioral shifts, more firmly aligning with their personal identities and goals.
This could look like...
- Creating healthy habits and boundaries
- Building from strengths
- Identifying negative self-talk and limiting beliefs
- Becoming more self-confident and self-determined
- Forging and maintaining healthy relationships
