Claire loves mentoring awesome humans  who have an unwavering passion for youth and their unique needs, and want to learn from possibly the most experience practicing youth coach in Western Australia!? Working with Claire is a tight relationship, one which is built upon a common goal; to have more excellent humans ready and equipped to work with tweens, teenagers and their parents. TOP CLASS youth coaches – we need you!

ABOUT YOU: You’re someone who:
~ Enjoys learning through experienced-based information, through need-to-know conversations
~ Wants and can handle feedback that will help you grow as a youth coach
~ Values your questions being answered on the spot to support your specific needs, rather than following a manual or workbook
~ Is thirsty for information about adolescent development and prevention-focused mental health, and its impact on your connection to teens
~ Can chat via zoom, and likes to be part of informal learning, which involves your own note taking and being in charge of your own career-based learning
~ Is curious about my knowledge and experiences, and wants to ask as many questions a possible to maximize your professional learning
~ Appreciates that mentoring conversations can cover – pretty much everything!
~ If you want to know something ASK. If I have something that I know will help you, I will give it to you

We will cover all this and more…. teenage development, communications styles, learning milestones, social change and their implications, role of social media, coaching techniques suitable for teenagers, suggested helpful resources, coaching practice set up or enhancement strategies, office environments, use of animals in sessions, session timing, working with parents, school-based knowledge. Our only limit is time.

You will need: An open mind, curiosity to learn and gather as much information from me as possible, willingness to trust Claire’s depth of knowledge and be open with your thoughts and opinions, so each session is bursting with value and opportunity.

What you’ll get from Claire: Access to 34 years of experience, trial and error tips (so you don’t have to make the same annoying mistakes she made along the way), ideas, suggestions, connections to people where possible and appropriate, and of course you will be able to dive in to Claire’s busy brain to tap into her wealth of knowledge gained from 20 years teaching and leadership roles in schools, training in Rites of Passage, CBT, EFT, NLP and her extensive grasp on child development founded at university through her BA BEd, and built upon over the past 34 years. Claire wants you to succeed, she wants you to do well, so you can show up as an awesome coach for young people.

Unsure which option is right for you?

You are investing in Claire’s time, so there virtually no difference between the 3, 6 or 9-sessions options and the experience you will enjoy being mentored by Claire. To keep it simple, you will get a copy of all 5 of Claire’s books and you will save $300 dollars by choosing to have 9 hours with Claire, instead of 6 hours or 3, but that’s pretty much it. There’s no catch, and the decisions is totally up to you, depending on your goals, time, needs and your finances at the the moment.
