Is Teencoaching™ the Right Fit for You?
Mayine Development Institute · The Teencoaching™ Readiness Conversation

Would you like to find out if Teencoaching™ is the right fit for you?

Your parent thinks coaching could help you. Before we begin, we'd like to hear from you first.

There's no wrong answers here. Just answer honestly — that's the only way this actually helps you.

What is Teencoaching™?

We believe every teenager has strengths, potential and a future worth building. Teencoaching™ helps you discover those strengths, build real confidence, and make decisions that move your life forward.

It isn't therapy, and it isn't counselling. We're not psychologists, and we're not another teacher telling you what to do.

  • Not therapy
  • Not counselling
  • Not a psychologist
  • Not another teacher

Your Success Team

The world's best athletes have coaches. Musicians have mentors. Business leaders have advisors. Behind almost every successful person is a team of people who believed in them, challenged them and helped them grow.

We believe teenagers deserve that same kind of support while you're building your life. Teencoaching™ becomes one part of your Success Team — something successful people have, not something only struggling people need.

What We See in Every Teenager

Every teenager already carries gifts, wisdom and potential of their own. Sometimes those strengths just need someone to help you recognise them, grow them, and put them to work.

Seven

If you had to pick one of these as where your life is headed in the next few years, which would you pick?

Tap the one that feels closest to true. There's no right answer.

Eight

What do you think it would actually take to get there?

Be real — this is what tells us how to work with you.

Picture one morning, six months from now, where things have actually gotten better. What's different?

Be specific — what would you be doing differently that morning?

Ten

If we started tomorrow, what's one thing you'd actually be willing to try?

Something small and real, not a big promise.

Eleven

What might stop you from showing up each week?

Be honest — this helps us, it doesn't count against you.

Twelve

Why do you think your parent wants you to try coaching?

Whatever you think it is — even if you're not totally sure.

Thirteen

Why do you want to try coaching — in your own words?

Not your parent's reason. Yours.

What do you wish adults understood about teenagers your age?

Anything at all — this helps us know how to actually connect with you.

Readiness
On a scale of 1–10, how ready are you to change something in your life?
Not yet All in
 

Why that number, and not a lower one?

One last thing

As you've answered these questions today, what's one thing you've realised about yourself?
