Our Coaching Process: Next Steps

At True North, our coaching process is all about empowering your teenager to find their passions, set meaningful goals, and unlock their full potential.

Step 1: Introductory Meeting

We start with a thorough meeting to get to know your teen’s aspirations, interests, and values. Through open conversations and tools like the VIA character survey, we discover what truly drives them.

Step 2: Weekly Coaching Sessions

Weekly sessions ensure consistent support and guidance. Regular engagement keeps your teen on track, with tasks assigned between sessions to maintain momentum and drive continuous progress.

Step 3: Empowering Collaboration

Our coaching is a collaborative effort aimed at helping your teen overcome obstacles and tap into their potential. While we provide strong support, coaching is not therapy.

Book your introduction meeting

Step One: Let’s connect! The first step is to schedule a 20-minute introductory call where you can share with me some details about why you are seeking a life coach for your child, and we can assess if I’m suitable to work with your teen. These calls are free of charge and are conducted over the phone or via Zoom – your choice. Book a consultation with me.

Step Two: Schedule your child’s session(s). Once we’ve had our intro call and determined you would like me to start working with your teen, I will send a follow up email that will include a link to my scheduling calendar where you can book the first session.

CANCELLATION & NO-SHOW POLICY:

I ask that my clients honor my time and theirs by only booking appointments they prioritize attending. If needed, you are welcome to cancel or reschedule your session up to 24 hours before your appointment; however I request that you make any changes as far in advance as possible as last-minute changes are difficult to fill. No-shows and cancellations made within the 24-hour window will be expected to pay half of the fee owed. I understand that last-minute, unforeseen emergencies and illnesses come up, and I can waive the fee for these rare occurrences. However, missed appointments due to a client’s scheduling error will be charged the cancellation fee. Please notify me with as much advance warning of your cancellation as possible so that I can make that time available for another client. Thank you!
