Supporting growth-focused young adults from +19yrs of age through their natural adulting development journey
The Young Adult Reality
Early adulthood is a pivotal stage — full of opportunity, but also high risk. Growth and success require guidance.
The Truth About Young Adulthood:
Every young adult, regardless of their current stage, is navigating:
Life Transitions: Moving from school to work, tertiary education, or entrepreneurship can feel overwhelming
Identity & Purpose Formation: Balancing cultural heritage, personal values, and global expectations
High Dropout Risk: Many first-year students or young adults entering new career paths struggle to persist
Career Uncertainty: Lack of clarity leads to missed opportunities, underemployment, or dissatisfaction
Financial & Practical Independence: Managing money, responsibilities, and self-care while building a future
Social & Professional Complexity: Learning to collaborate, network, and communicate in unfamiliar settings
Pressure & Expectations: External pressures from family, peers, or society can create stress, self-doubt, or indecision
A space that allows you to intentionally craft & design your future into who YOU want to be!
Just as Athletes Have Coaches to Reach Their Potential, Teens Need Coaches to Navigate Growth
Without Intentional Support:
Young adults often rely on trial-and-error, incomplete guidance, and peer influence. This can lead to:
Dropping out of tertiary education or training programs
Poor career or entrepreneurial decisions
Low confidence and unclear self-identity
Missed growth opportunities and stagnant potential
With Career Development Coaching:
Young adults gain:
A Trusted Guide: Someone to navigate career, academic, and life choices strategically
Self-Leadership Tools: Skills to manage emotions, time, and decisions independently
Accountable Growth Spaces: Group and one-on-one coaching to ensure consistent progress
Cultural & Values Alignment: Grounded guidance that honors African indigenous ways of knowing
Career & Entrepreneurial Readiness: Confidence, clarity, and capability to take action
The Question Isn’t: “Does my young adult have challenges?”
The Question Is: “Do they have the guidance, tools, and support to thrive intentionally?”
Our 5 Pillars of Intentional Personal Development
We Don't Wait for Problems — We Build Foundations for Thriving - "umNtu ngumNtu ngabaNtu"
Teencoaching™ is a coaching program that is tailored for the personal development of teens teenagers. It is also a trademarked concept that's under Mayine Development Institute. We understand that every behaviour has root causes, every child belongs to a family, and every family has its unique development nodes.
All those nodes affect a child's growth either positively or negatively. Our mission is to use informal education to promote self-awareness, personal responsibility in young people to be the drivers of their own development and be conscious of their contribution (both positive & negative) in an ever-changing global world and be a feeder to Formal education institutions.
