In life, there comes a point where our passions intersect with our purpose. For me, that moment arrived after nearly a decade of mentoring youth worldwide and supporting numerous mentoring programs in the nonprofit sector. It was a journey filled with fulfillment, learning, and countless moments of inspiration. However, as I reflected on my experiences, I realized that it was time to embark on a new chapter—one where I could turn my passion for coaching and mentoring into a profession while continuing to invest in people and build communities.
My journey into coaching and mentoring began with a simple desire to make a difference in the lives of young people. I witnessed firsthand the transformative power of mentorship—the impact it had on shaping futures, instilling confidence, and nurturing potential. Inspired by these experiences, I dedicated myself to mentoring youth from diverse backgrounds, across continents, and through various challenges.
Over the years, I immersed myself in the world of coaching and mentoring, honing my skills, and deepening my understanding of the human experience. I saw the profound influence that guidance, support, and encouragement could have on individuals navigating the complexities of life. It was a privilege to be part of their journey, to witness their growth, and to celebrate their successes.
As my involvement in mentoring grew, so did my commitment to supporting initiatives that promoted youth development and empowerment. I worked tirelessly to fund mentoring and coaching programs, advocate for mentorship initiatives, and create opportunities for young people to thrive. Each endeavor reinforced my belief in the transformative potential of mentorship and the importance of investing in the rising generation.
However, amidst my passion for mentoring and philanthropy, I found myself at a crossroads. While I was deeply fulfilled by my work, I also recognized the need to sustain myself financially and create a sustainable model for impact. It was then that I began to explore the idea of becoming a professional certified life coach, a path that would allow me to leverage my expertise, experience, and passion to support others while also building a viable career.
Becoming a certified life coach was a natural progression for me, a way to formalize my skills, expand my reach, and deepen my impact. It offered me the opportunity to blend my passion for coaching and mentoring with a profession that aligned with my values and goals. By investing in myself and obtaining professional certifications, I could not only elevate my own practice but also provide a higher level of support and guidance to those I served.
In 2021, I founded PEAK Life Coaching with a clear vision: to coach young people on the principles that would inspire and empower them to reach their peak potential. Drawing from my years of experience in mentoring youth and supporting mentoring and coaching programs, I recognized the need for a structured and comprehensive approach to youth empowerment—one that would equip young people with the tools and strategies they need to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience.
The founding principles of PEAK Life Coaching are deeply embedded in the Youth Coaching Curriculum. Each principle reflects a commitment to fostering personal growth, building self-awareness, and cultivating a positive mindset. These principles serve as the foundation upon which our curriculum is built, guiding young people on a transformative journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
Today, as a certified life coach, I am grateful for the journey that led me to this point. I am inspired by the countless individuals I have had the privilege of working with (including parents with teens), and I am committed to continuing to invest in people and build communities. My goal is not only to empower young individuals to achieve their goals and realize their potential but also to create a ripple effect of positive change that extends far beyond the confines of a coaching session.
After years of mentoring and coaching youth worldwide and supporting various mentoring programs, we recognized the need for a comprehensive approach to youth empowerment—one that goes beyond traditional mentoring to provide practical guidance, actionable strategies, and unwavering support. Thus, the idea for the Youth Coaching Curriculum was born.
Designed to empower young people to see themselves and reach their peak potential, our curriculum is a culmination of years of research, experience, and dedication. It is rooted in the principles of positive psychology, resilience-building, and personal development, offering a holistic framework for youth empowerment and growth.
With our new curriculum in hand, we set out to implement it in communities, institutions, schools, churches, camps, and local youth programs worldwide. The response has been overwhelming, with individuals and organizations embracing the transformative power of our approach and witnessing firsthand the positive impact it has on young lives.
Through interactive workshops, engaging activities, and one-on-one coaching sessions, we empower young people to cultivate self-awareness, set meaningful goals, overcome obstacles, and unleash their full potential. Our curriculum addresses key areas such as self-esteem, leadership skills, communication, emotional intelligence, and decision-making—equipping young people with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience.
We invite everyone who shares our passion for youth empowerment to explore the Youth Coaching Curriculum and join us in our mission to transform lives and build brighter futures. Together, we can empower the next generation to reach new heights and become the leaders, innovators, and changemakers of tomorrow.
