Coaching Teens to Overcome Academic Pressure and Low Motivation For the third week of our 6-week journey, we’re focusing on a common challenge for teens—academic pressure and low motivation. These can often lead to stress, self-doubt, and even burnout. As a parent-coach, your role is crucial in helping your teen manage these pressures constructively and regain their motivation. Instead of focusing solely on grades and outcomes, shift the focus to the effort and progress your teen is making. By working together to set realistic goals and develop a study plan, you can help them build the confidence and drive they need to keep moving forward. Here are a few coaching strategies to support your teen: 🍃 Set realistic goals: Break down larger tasks into manageable steps. This makes their academic workload feel less overwhelming and helps them stay motivated. 🍃 Focus on effort, not just results: Praise your teen for their hard work and persistence, not just the outcome. This reinforces the idea that growth comes through effort. 🍃 Celebrate small wins: Recognize and celebrate progress, no matter how small. This helps boost their confidence and keeps them motivated to tackle bigger challenges. 🍃 Reframe setbacks: Help your teen view setbacks as temporary and part of the learning process. Encourage them to reflect on what they can do differently next time, building their resilience and problem-solving skills. By adopting these strategies, you can support your teen in overcoming academic stress and fostering a growth mindset that will serve them well throughout their life. 📖 For more on nurturing a growth mindset, check out Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck. #ParentingTeens #AcademicPressure #GrowthMindset #Resilience #ParentAsCoach #Motivation #StudySkills #TeenDevelopment

Are you a college student who could use some support as you manage the opportunities and challenges you're experiencing on or off campus? ********* My hope for you is that you've finished the fall term on a positive note and you're looking forward to a well-earned break for the next few weeks. But college is HARD in so many ways, and I know that many (most!) students struggled with one thing or another this term. There are so many decisions to make, so many new experiences, so many pressures from different directions. It can be very overwhelming and it can feel very isolating. I love supporting students like you -- or yours, if you're a parent! The struggles are real, and there are tools that you can use to learn how to navigate through them. I'm offering a special type of coaching session in January and February 2024. These slots are complimentary -- no charge! -- but they are limited, so take advantage by DMing me for the scheduling link. The sessions are an hour with time learning what coaching with me is all about AND time for a short coaching session around an issue or concern that is important to you. If you're not ready to make an appointment just yet, no worries! You can always schedule a complimentary exploratory session at Lost and Found Coaching at www.lostandfoundcoach.com. These sessions are available regularly throughout the year and if they don't fit your schedule, we can work on a more agreeable time. Don't hesitate to read more about me and my services at Lost and Found Coaching, and contact me with questions through my website or by DMing me here. #coach #coaching #collegestudents #professionaldevelopment #personalgrowth #criticalthinking #challengesandopportunities #LostandFoundCoaching

Coaching tips from 12 year olds... That might help you! Recently I've been coaching three different boys who are all 12 years old. Each child has their own challenges, and each coaching session is tailored to the individual. However, these are some insights that have helped me to help them (and might help you)… 1. Heart With Ears ❤️ 👂 Making sure that you listen to understand and not to reply, get curious and look beneath the surface to find the cause and not the symptom of the challenge. Hearing someone is physiological, but listening is a psychological act. 2. Rapport 🚀 That first meeting with a young person is vital. Sharing your own story and being vulnerable helps the child to connect with you on a deeper level. It is super important to find that one thing that the child is passionate about and use that as a metaphor/hook for the coaching. 3. Motion Creates Emotion 🤸♂️ With online coaching it is important to create a sense of energy in the session. This is done by getting the boys moving around the room, using breathwork and mindfulness, to change their state and give them energy during the coaching call. 4. Doodle 🎨 Each boy is a visual learner and bringing in creativity to the coaching sessions has been useful to embed challenging concepts. Getting the boys to draw, doodle and sketch their insights allows them to remember those ‘a-ha’ moments. Ultimately coaching children and students is about future proofing the next generation. This is how we build strong children that become resilient adults. #coaching #teaching #education #schoolleaders

Taking time for ourselves is essential; especially for the mind, body, and spirit. And it's okay if we fail or make mistakes at times, what matters is getting back on track. We must line up good decisions, prioritizing self-care without guilt. Darkness is inevitably going to show up, but it isn't our final destination, even there, we can learn valuable lessons. My hope is we adopt a student mindset, asking: - What can I learn? How can I grow? - What does this experience teach me? It’s our duty to keep learning and growing together to build resilience and wisdom. #selfcare #mentalhealth #wellnessjourney #growthmindset #selfreflection #positivity #learning #resilience #mindbodyspirit #healthyliving

𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 to finally have more time to dive back into my #𝐏𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐌𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠! Earlier this academic year, I started an online course at the University of Suffolk to initiate myself to the philosophy and methodology of #PsychMapping. This promising consultation method helps generate a visual representation of a client’s complex reality, depicting influential factors and their role in the client’s life. Producing this visual support facilitates the client’s understanding of their current state. An additional advantage to PsychMapping is the opportunity for the client to take back home a ‘product’ from the consultation. This allows them to better remember the topics discussed during the session, thereby promoting longer-lasting change and growth. Being a visual-learner myself, I found additional value as a professional to have a visual representation of the work I conduct with my clients. The Knowledge Map developed in the practice of PsychMapping has a fundamental aim: to reconnect and integrate research findings across a variety of niche areas, in order to answer real-life problems. Let me explain: When asking a question such as ‘How can a coach’s behavior explain athletes’ sport enjoyment?’ (taken from the course), you would likely get very different answers depending on the professional you ask. This is because along our academic development, we progressively specialize into increasingly more specific (i.e., niche) areas. And this determines the angle from which we would answer the previous question, providing a panel of answers that are probably all correct and yet very different. The KnowledgeMap is there to create an integration of all these relevant answers, amounting to 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. I look forward to learning more about its practice in the coming weeks! Thank you James Young for introducing me to it ! #PsychMapping #SportPsychology #Growth #Coaching #ProfessionalDevelopment

Whatever the results, there will always be decisions to be made and this can be a daunting prospect for students, especially if they have to decide quickly and it is a change from the outcome they hoped for or imagined for so long. If you're needing to help a student make key decisions right now, please feel free to read my latest blog post, which will guide you through 3 coaching and positive psychology tools to empower students to make a decision they feel happy with, and hopefully, excited about :) . These are the three key ways I use most often in my coaching practice, to guide students to make big life decisions, and help them navigate the complex process of weighing up facts and thoughts in the head with what they feel in their heart and being able to feel clear on what they really want in life. These tools are: 1. Metric Matrix 2. Strengths Character Test 3. Visualisation If you’d like to know more, you can read the full article on my blog post here: https://lnkd.in/gmDvpXAH Let me know if you have any questions or get in touch if you'd like further coaching support with a student. #exams #university #decisions #coaching #careers #students #educationcoach

Getting mentor is a fate Getting a mentor is a fate. Someone may have a great mentor and someone hasn't. Some who haven't a mentor can take whoever is an inspiration as a mentor. In my case, I might not have a mentor. But I found them. 🌟 I'm grateful to have these people as mentors even though I've never seen them. Director Ram & Mysskin. Yeah, they're mentors. We have a lot of mentors for our typical education standard. But these people are different from them. 🙌 They are guiding me to lead a peaceful life. In fact, we are all always searching for any peace. I'm finding peace through their influence and ideologies. I see them as therapists. We can easily cure our physiological problems. But psychological problems can't be easily cured. 🧠 There are many teachings from them that make me search for a larger happiness in life. They don't let me feel frustrated even when I fail. They're giving me the most important meanings of life. Understanding people, nature, life, birds, etc. 🌱 These people give me hope when I feel depressed. And they give me great psychological solace. Sometimes I feel a large piece of peace while they talk. 😌 I'll say these people are guiding me to live a good sociological life by providing deeper psychological solace... 🌟 Don't judge a man, just try to understand them - Ram #BuidYourStoryPills #ThinkDigitalCommunity #mentorship #mentor #motivation #hope #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth
