Is this you parents?
Who can Play Huge Coaching really help?
You've tried everything to help them. They have so much potential, but they aren't using it. Despite all your effort and love, they are really struggling.
You thought everything was going okay, but they have found big trouble. You knew that kind of stuff was happening, but not with your kid. Unbelievable (and painful and embarrassing even), so now you have some decisions to make and you want to make sure they are the right decisions.
Everything is going all right - you're playing the game the way it's supposed to be played. Everyone is okay, but no one is thriving. You have lost your passion and vision (as have they). You now feel like there is a different path for you and them that would be more rewarding and closer to what is in your heart, but you don't know how to get there from here.
You are exhausted with your parenting. You remember the joy and love from years past and you wonder if that is gone forever. You see other teens and parents making their way, but that is not your story. Your are counting the days until graduation or until you can get them out of the house, so you can have your freedom and life back (and they remind you that is what they are doing), yet you can't let go because this is your kid.
The freight train of adolescence is headed your way and you're worried. You want to do everything you can to stay connected to them and make the teenage years positive. You hope that all of the bad, hard stories you hear won't happen to you. You want to do everything you can to shift the odds in your favor.
You are completely fed up with the education your kid is getting and the choices you have. You want them to learn everything they will need to be successful. But, you feel trapped and they feel trapped. There isn't enough challenge, passion, connection, safety, relevance, depth, excellence, leadership, or guidance. None of you can see how what they are "learning" will lead to success. You wish there were more alternatives.
You have a deep desire to support them finding their unique way in the world. They are asking deep and important questions. It's getting close to the time when they wander out into the world. You want them to make good choices so they are happy and beginning to find a way to make a difference in the world.

But, will it work for you?
Yes, if you have the following values:
Make a difference. You want to find a way to contribute that feeds your heart and has a positive impact.
Life skills. The skills necesary to be successful in an uncertain future are soft skills. They are the ones that will help you trust yourself, empathize, step courageously and creatively, learn powerfully, face fear, ask for help, love and be loved.
Practice. You have, or really want, a consistent physical and/or spiritual practice. You are doing the work, digging in, exploring what is possible for you.
Integrity. When you give your word, you keep your word. You have the desire to be excellent and you're committed to making it happen.
There is more to life than you see. You know, or at least hope, that there is more to life than cultural trinkets. You want to taste love, deep connection to people and the natural world, a connection to spirit, aliveness in and with your soul, and deep heartfelt satisfaction with your life.
Big picture focus. Band-aids and simple appearance based change is not of interest. You want deep, meaningful, long term connection to what is possible for you.
Connection to the Real You. You know there is something inside you that wants to come out - a valuable, beautiful, and unique gift to share. It eats at you. It guides you. It wants to play. It wants to yell "here I am and I've got something important to say"! There is a burning desire inside you to find this genius and a big commitment to begin living it.
Guidance. The belief that is imperative to find a mentor, teacher, master, elder who has journeyed where you hope to journey. It makes it way easier, but not easy, to find a trusted guide.
