life Coaching for gifted high schoolers and emerging adults
As your son or daughter’s life coach my goal is to help them acquire their adult identity and establish their financial and emotional independence. Their true voice, regardless of the field, is the expression of their talent. Through their talent they find happiness and success in life.
Gifted Educational Programs Development
Program development and curriculum are two of my passions. Designing gifted programs in particular is challenging given the stakes for high ability people. Another area in which I work is creativity. Creativity is the fuel that runs the engine of innovation that creates wealth and opportunity for all.
Advocacy for Gifted Emerging adults
At the heart of coaching gifted emerging adults is teaching them how to assert themselves; to cultivate their interests, support their work ethic, and understand their expectations. They are coming of age with new rules. As parents from another generation we may have trouble understanding what they face and that can make it hard to help. As an advocate for gifted emerging adults I listen carefully to understand their unique situation to help them discover their own path.
speaking at conferences and advocacy groups
I regularly speak at conferences where I meet parents and educators striving to understand their gifted kids who are now struggling adults. I also meet with advocacy groups to stay tuned to what parents are doing to help their children realize their gifts and how I can help them navigate schools and activities for building their creative capabilities. I always enjoy speaking at a gathering of parents interested in how they can support their adult sons and daughters.
