High-Impact Teencoaching Program
Transform Your Teen. Transform Your Family. Transform the Future.
You’ve done everything you can to support your teen: tutors, programs, advice, and encouragement. Yet, progress often feels slow or inconsistent. Maybe grades are low, confidence is fragile, or team dynamics are challenging. You love them, but you can’t do this alone—and conventional support hasn’t given you the breakthrough you need.
That’s where our coaching comes in. Designed for teens and their families, our program is high-touch, transformational, and long-term. We don’t focus on quick fixes; we focus on lasting growth, leadership development, and emotional resilience.
I’m Nomveliso Mbanga, founder of Mayine Development Institute. With over 30 years of experience coaching teens, young adults, and families — especially within Indigenous frameworks — I help young people build emotional resilience, leadership, and confidence through structured, intentional coaching.
My goal is simple: to provide coaching that produces sustained academic, emotional, and relational growth, while equipping parents and families with the understanding and tools to support teens without overextending themselves.
Important: All inquiries and applications are processed through our central intake system. I work only with pre-qualified, committed clients, ensuring every teen receives the focused attention they deserve.
Our Coaching Philosophy
Coaching is not a quick fix or transactional service. Transformation takes time, energy, and structured support.
Every teen is still growing, learning, and navigating life’s complexities. Our programs are designed for long-term development, incorporating:
Pre-session preparation tailored to your teen’s needs
Custom-designed activities and workbooks
Post-session follow-up and reflection
Communication with parents and schools when required
Coaching is a long-term investment of time, money, and heart. Some results may show in months; others take years. And that’s exactly how lasting growth happens.
Who This Program Is For
This program is designed for teenagers who are in the growing-up process. It is not a behavior-fixing program and is not for teens with severe behavioral issues or “problem” labels.
Teens in the growing-up process may express it in different ways:
Emotional overwhelm or sensitivity
Family disconnect or challenges in relationships
Academic struggles or uneven performance
Leadership or confidence gaps
Social or personal development transitions
We structure intake and program recommendations around academic performance and developmental needs:
Teens performing below 50% in 3 or more subjects → 12-month intensive program minimum.
Other teens in the growing-up process → Program length is evaluated individually, ranging from 3–6 months depending on goals, maturity, and readiness.
Program is for families:
Who are ready to provide necessary support, collaboration, and documentation
Whose teens are willing to actively participate in sessions, community, and integration activities
Who understand that growth is a process, not a quick fix, and that long-term coaching is key to meaningful transformation
This ensures we work with teens who are ready, motivated, and aligned with the coaching process.
Program Duration & Commitment
Minimum Duration: 12 months for high-need teens (below 50%)
Recommended Duration: 12 months for most teens, with renewals available for ongoing growth
Optional Short Programs: 3–6 months, recommended only for career exploration, guidance, or teens with specific, limited developmental goals
Annual Packages: Renewable each year to continue the transformation and integration process
High-Touch Approach: Sessions are flexible in length (13–90 minutes) and include prep, integration, troubleshooting, and quarterly parent sessions
Deposit & Commitment: 30% deposit required for 12-month intensive programs to ensure commitment; non-cancellable
Our focus is on sustainable, meaningful growth. Teens are supported through a structured, long-term program that maximizes outcomes and integrates lessons into their daily lives.
Program Approach & Coaching Structure
Our coaching program is highly personalized and flexible, designed to meet the unique developmental needs of each teen or team. Rather than a fixed number of sessions per month, parents and families invest in access to a structured, high-touch process that adapts to the teen’s needs and growth.
How It Works:
Flexible Coaching Sessions: Depending on the teen’s requirements, sessions may vary in length and frequency—from one session per month to several sessions per month. Some sessions may be led directly by me, and others by a trained assistant coach to ensure planning, goal-setting, and daily execution are supported consistently.
Post-Session Work & Tasks: Teens are guided through reflection, integration, and structured follow-up activities to apply coaching insights in daily life.
Quarterly Parent Sessions: Parents are engaged strategically to support their teen’s growth while understanding the process without micromanaging.
Integration & Troubleshooting: Some weeks may focus on integration or problem-solving rather than formal coaching sessions. Parents are investing in outcomes and access, not just a fixed number of sessions.
Team Support & Formation: For high-need teens, support may involve multiple coaching interactions per week, sometimes with assistant coaches, to help structure goals, thoughts, and planning effectively.
Why Flexible Access Matters:
Parents are paying for consistent, strategic support, not just sessions:
Some months may involve more frequent coaching interactions
Other months may prioritize integration, reflection, and self-directed growth
The program adapts to progress, challenges, and developmental stages
In essence, you are investing in a coaching journey that is responsive, adaptive, and outcome-driven, helping teens grow academically, emotionally, and relationally over time.
INTAKE PROCESS
Intake Process & Teen Buy-In
Because our clients are minors, we require a two-step discovery process before any coaching begins:
Parent Discovery Conversation
Discuss teen performance, program expectations, and long-term commitment
Answer questions and address concerns
Teen / Team Discovery Conversation
Gain teen buy-in and understanding of the coaching process
Ensure they agree to engage actively and commit fully
Coaching only begins once both parent and teen are aligned and committed.
International vs Local Clients
International Clients: Intake currently open. Additional administrative considerations and shipping included for cross-cultural adaptation.
Local Clients: Intake currently closed; families may join the waiting list for next year.
Program Duration & Eligibility
Because teens develop at different academic, emotional, and social levels, the duration of the program is determined by both performance and developmental needs. This ensures the coaching process is ethical, effective, and aligned with the real time required for meaningful change.
**Teens Below 55% Overall Average
(High-Need Development Category)**
These teens require stabilisation, high-frequency intervention, and structured academic and emotional support. Progress at this level cannot be accelerated or compressed.
Required Duration: 12-Month Annual Intensive Program (No 6-Month Option)
A shorter program would be ineffective and misaligned with the depth of support needed. Teens in this range typically require:
Weekly containment and emotional support
Academic restructuring and consistent monitoring
Behavioural scaffolding and planning support
Parent strategy alignment
Multi-layer intervention from both myself and an assistant coach
This category demands long-term, relational work that enables the teen to rebuild confidence, identity, and academic stability without pressure or shortcuts.
**Teens 60% and Above
(Stable Growth & Leadership Category)**
These teens are academically stable and emotionally functional but require guidance in identity development, leadership, confidence, emotional intelligence, and personal growth.
They may be eligible for:
6-Month Development Package
For teens who have specific, targeted goals such as career exploration, confidence building, clarity on future paths, social intelligence building, cultural identity strengthening or emotional intelligence strengthening.
12-Month Growth & Transformation Package
Recommended for teens working on deeper personal development, long-term leadership growth, emotional maturity, family relational alignment, or preparing for a major academic or developmental transition.
The exact duration recommendation is finalized after the intake process.

6. Access, Not Hourly Billing
Your investment covers much more than live coaching sessions. The fee includes a comprehensive, outcome-driven developmental ecosystem that supports academic, emotional, and relational growth. It includes:
Monthly access for parents to guidance, strategy, and support.
Full teen access to me throughout the year.
A minimum of three weekly coaching sessions initiated by me.
Option for the teen to request additional coaching sessions or meetings within the same month at their own will.
Interactions with schools and teachers, including feedback and intervention support as needed.
Parent conversations to provide deeper insight and strategic guidance for the teen.
Pre-coaching and post-coaching planning, as well as customized task activities for the teen.
Support from an extended team (my Assistant Teencoach) for planning, mock exams, study schedules, and structured academic guidance.
Integration periods, which may last one to two weeks, where the teen does not participate in live coaching sessions. During this time, teens are actively:
Journaling and reflecting on lessons learned
Applying strategies independently
Absorbing insights for deeper internalization
These periods are essential for sustainable growth and often result in increased engagement and accelerated progress in subsequent sessions.
Troubleshooting, problem-solving, and adaptive planning to respond to developmental challenges, transitions, or breakthroughs.
Key Note on Integration:
Even when there are no visible live sessions, the teen is actively engaging with coaching work. These “quiet work” periods are a core part of the developmental process and ensure that progress is long-lasting, not just session-dependent.

Nomveliso Mbanga
“Coaching is not a three-month magic wand but a journey. It is a long-term investment of time, money, and heart — especially with young people who are still becoming. Real growth takes consistent guidance, repeated reflection, and patient progress. Some results may show in months. Others take years. And that’s okay — because we’re building something that lasts.”
