Overview
Overview
At a time when youth mental health has been declared a national emergency, it’s never been more important to spotlight a solution that most people aren’t aware of (but is helping kids around the world) – life coaching for kids!
When faced with challenges and disappointments, most kids don’t have the tools to handle them. As a result, they often get down on themselves or give up on themselves, developing beliefs that can hold them back for the rest of their lives.
I’m Renaye Thornborrow and I’m leading a worldwide movement to bring mindset training and life coaching to kids. Since 2013, I’ve certified hundreds of coaches – in over 30 countries – to use my story-based curriculum to help children develop mindset skills for resilience, self-esteem, confidence, self-leadership, and achievement so that they can handle the ups and downs of growing up, and reach their fullest potential in ALL areas of life.
Life Coaching isn’t just for grownups. It’s a game changer for our youth when they learn how to break through limiting beliefs and proactively create supporting beliefs to help them thrive.
