Life Coaching Is…
Coaching is a transformational process that allows clients to explore their beliefs, talents, current path, and future directions they would like to pursue. A coach serves to help a client meet their full potential. A coach can help a client make an important life transition or change, set and achieve goals, balance personal and academic life, breakthrough the glass ceiling, and be the best version of themselves. Life coaching for teens and young adults happens during a very special time of the client’s life when they are exploring their identity, values, strengths, and talents and deciding where to place it in the world. Often, this takes work in areas such as self-confidence, empowerment, comfort zones, etc. and can be an amazing tool for the self-awareness and growth of a teen and young adult.
Life coaching is not:
Life coaching is not mentoring, therapy, counseling, or advice. It is a dynamic partnership that includes accountability, motivation, momentum, growth, and objectivity with a trained professional.
Education Coaching Is…
An education coach goes beyond just the college application and selection process. Education coaching explores the values, passions, and strengths of a student to help them find their place in their school environment and the world. Sessions address school but explore other areas that might be impacting the students world such as relationships, areas of personal growth, goals, and skill building. Students can learn better time management and organization, learning and test taking strategies, how to drive their education, and connect their academic life to their future. Education coaching clients are a variety of ages and stages of early high school through college years. Whether you student is preparing their high school experiences for eventual college applications or a college student needing support and guidance, Bloom has you covered.
Education coaching is not:
Education coaching does not include someone else doing the work for the student, short cuts, or busy work. This is soul searching, people-with a specific goal in mind.
A College Planning Consultant Is…
A college planning consultant is a skilled professional who can assist a student and family through a very important yet stressful college application process. Services include organization and execution in the application process, college essay coaching, liaison service with schools, managing the overwhelm the process can bring, and
The Bloom philosophy to college planning and the application process is one of self-refection, authenticity, hard work, and celebration. Our job is to help students understand their strengths, decide where they want to place themselves in society, and how to tell their story in an authentic way. Instead of only focusing on dates and deadlines, we look at the process as an opportunity for a student to get to know themselves and find their place in the world.
Bloom loves combining life and education coaching with college application consultant services because it treats the human while managing a chaotic process. If we were to just manage the process, that place in all of us that doubts ourselves, can freak us out more than anything once we are alone…can still take over. Managing the process is about checklists and timelines. The life and education coaching process allows the student to realize who they are, what they are capable of, and where they want to go and be. That’s where the good stuff-no, great stuff- happens.
College planning consulting is not:
Low touch, canned curriculum, or someone else packaging the student in the application process. Whether you are getting college essay writing help or making your college list, you are working with coaches that are invested in your success in school and life.
