Whether your teen is preparing for their first job, navigating a second or third, or learning how to manage the money they earn, 1:1 coaching provides personalized, in-person guidance tailored to where they are right now.
These sessions are calm, supportive, and fully customized. We focus on building clarity, confidence, and practical skills - so teens feel prepared to apply, interview, show up responsibly at work, and manage their money with confidence.
Each session is shaped around your teen's:
Current work experience (or lack of it)
Confidence and communication style
Goals, interests, & local opportunities
Areas where they want extra support - whether job readiness or money skills
This is hands-on coaching designed to meet teens where they are now - and help them move forward with confidence, both at work and with money.
Pre-Session Focus
Before we meet, I gather a bit of information to understand your teen's experience, goals, and where they'd like support - so our time together is intentional and effective.
In-Person Coaching
During the session, we work side-by-side on the areas that matter most right now. Everything is explained in a clear, teen-friendly, low pressure way.
Ongoing Support at Home
Teens leave with clear next steps. Parents receive a Parent Support Guide with simple, practical ways to encourage progress without hovering or added pressure.
1:1 Coaching is a great fit for teens who:
Are applying for their first job
Want to improve confidence or communication skills
Need support navigating interview or applications
Are returning to the job search after a tough experience
Are earning money and want to understand their paycheck
Are earning money and want to learn to budget, save, and invest
Learn best through conversation, practice, and real-time feedback
It's also ideal for parents who:
Want clarity on how to support their teen at this stage
Prefer personalized, guided support
Value in-person coaching
Want their teen to build confidence at work and with money, not just land a job.
