The tools I learned while attending The Life Coach School are amazing! They have blessed my life.
The tools have helped me reach goals I’ve had on my goal list for years.
The tools have helped me manage my mind.
Question my belief system.
Identify my feelings.
Create space for others to live their life despite how I think they should be doing it.
The tools have helped me explore my inherent worth and unconditional love for myself and others.
Taught me how to separate fact from story.
I could go on…
Once I learned these tools, I can’t help but want to share them. I just want to help all the people.
But, choosing a niche allows me to provide more quality to a group of people. By focusing on a certain area I can spend my time and energy providing more value in one area rather than trying to go too broad.
With much pondering, I have chosen my niche: I work with LDS Moms who want an eternal relationship with their teens now.
My children are all grown and having children of their own. I know times are different now than even six years ago when my youngest was a teenager.
But these tools are fundamental. They are the basics to mind management, emotional maturity, taking conscious action, and creating results we want in our lives. They can be applied to any situation. I feel strongly that these skills can help you have an eternal relationship with your teen now.
I haven’t forgotten the first time one of my children said, “I hate you.” I remember broken curfews (not just for them, but for me when I was a teenager too! My parents’ consequence for coming in late was that I had to come home that much earlier next time. Their big joke was that “Lori was coming in before she was leaving.”) I remember my teens big emotions. Painful friendships. Faith questions and doubts. The list could go on.
Joyce Maynard said, “It’s not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can’t tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it myself.”
I’m excited to help you find a little slice of heaven in your relationship with your teen. Please join me by learning the skills that will be life changing for you and for your youth as you lead by example.
