Susan is the creator behind Kids Coaching Connection, an award winning, unique program that
provides Life-Coaching skills training to teachers and parents of
children and youth. We train adults to help children and youth become
more prepared for life. The focus is on helping to develop the whole
person, recognizing that all aspects of life affect how children and
youth learn and their sense of belonging. We have a new vision for
working with children and youth that brings together the mind and the
heart for in doing so, we provide children and youth with the values
and virtues that will guide them to becoming more productive leaders in
their community and the world.
Ongoing coaching support is also provided to the program participants
through the following; one-on-one coaching support and telecalls. The
Kids Coaching Connection coaching program is also available to teach
co-active coaching skills directly to children and youth so they in
turn can coach other children or youth at school, home or in the
community.
What is uniquely effective about our approach?
Currently, there are no programs that focus on training and follow-up
support using a Coaching model. Research indicates the present
generation of children and youth worldwide is demonstrating more
emotional needs than the last. Educational and recreational programs as
well as families are recognizing that children and youth are more angry
and unruly, more lonely and depressed, more impulsive and aggressive,
more stressed and nervous.
Current research and a survey by the International Coaching Federation reports that people who have a coach show:
Increased
self-awareness often results from examining ones emotions, behaviours,
values and life purpose. This self-awareness helps when making
decisions and when having to take action. Self-awareness is one of the
foundational requirements of Emotional Intelligence and is a strong
component in academic success. No other program in the world provides
this focus for interacting and working with children and youth.
The current and future impact of Kids Coaching Connection is
staggering. Results to date indicate a positive influence on learning,
the sense of belonging in children and increased capacity for taking on
leadership roles.
