Often people will turn to a consultant because they want to focus on their future and find that obstacles are getting in the way of them realizing and meeting their goals. Parents hire a mentor-coach for their teens when they perceive a need for a positive mentor and aspire to enable their teen to reach their fullest potential. Parents will hire a consultant when they want to discover why the relationship with their child/children is not what they want and are willing to work on weekly goals to reach their desired outcome.

Some Reasons Parents Turn to Consulting:
At Radzat Consulting, we understand the importance of both coaching and mentoring in supporting the growth and development of teens. While these roles share common goals, they offer distinct approaches that complement each other seamlessly.
Mentoring: Think of mentoring as a nurturing relationship rooted in experience and wisdom. As a teen mentor, I draw upon decades of working closely with teens, parents, and educators. My role is to provide personalized guidance, a listening ear, and support tailored to each teen's unique journey.
Coaching: On the other hand, coaching focuses on goal-setting, skill-building, and empowering teens to realize their full potential. Through structured sessions and evidence-based techniques, I equip teens with the tools and confidence they need to thrive in today's world.
The Dynamic Duo: Combining the wisdom of a mentor with the actionable strategies of a coach creates a holistic approach to teen development. This dynamic duo addresses both the emotional and practical aspects of growth.
Examples in Action:
1. Empowering Goals with Purpose: Collaboratively setting meaningful goals aligned with your teen's passions and values, while mapping out actionable steps for achievement.
2. Navigating Challenges with Resilience: Offering empathetic support during tough times, coupled with coaching techniques to build problem-solving skills and resilience.
3. Fostering Growth through Reflection: Guiding reflective exercises to nurture self-awareness and personal growth, fostering resilience and adaptability.
By integrating mentoring and coaching, I provide unparalleled support and empowerment for teens on their journey to success.
My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development and Family Studies, which equips me with a solid foundation in understanding family dynamics and human behavior. I have always been committed to personal and professional development, and I am constantly attending workshops and training sessions to enhance my skills. I believe that staying up-to-date with the latest knowledge and techniques is crucial to providing the best support to my clients.
But what truly sets me apart is my personal journey and the life experiences that have shaped me into the person I am today. I have faced my fair share of challenges and struggles, and I am proud of the path I've taken to overcome them and create a successful life. Despite the pain and difficulties, I have no regrets about the choices I've made. In fact, these experiences have been invaluable in teaching me important life lessons and making me a more empathetic and understanding person. I draw on my own experiences to connect with and guide my clients, knowing that life's hardships can be powerful teachers.
My dedication to studying human behavior has been a lifelong pursuit. Over the past 20+ years, I have worked as an educator, specializing in working with parents and teenagers. This extensive experience has provided me with a profound understanding of the unique challenges that families face. I have developed the ability to help people feel validated and heard, while also empowering them to take action and make positive changes in their lives.
I am a goal-oriented individual, and I firmly believe that building self-worth begins with taking small, manageable steps toward believing in oneself. I guide my clients in this process, understanding that it's the journey and progress that matter most.
Teens find my coaching approach particularly appealing, as they often describe me as approachable, kind, to the point, respectful, and a voice worth listening to. Building a positive rapport with teenagers is a crucial aspect of my coaching, and I take pride in creating a safe and welcoming environment where they feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and concerns. This positive feedback from teens is a testament to my ability to connect with them on a genuine level, making the coaching process not only effective but also enjoyable for young clients.
In addition to my personal and professional experiences, I proudly raised two daughters, and for 13 years, I was a single mom. This journey has given me a unique perspective on the challenges and rewards of parenthood, as well as the importance of setting and achieving individual goals.
In summary, my unique blend of personal experiences, extensive education, and ongoing professional development has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide effective coaching to teens and parents. My style is compassionate, empathetic, and goal-oriented, helping my clients overcome challenges, build self-worth, and work toward the success they define for themselves.
Before starting a coaching contract, Ashley will hold a complimentary 30-minute discovery meeting with the Parents and/or teens to see if there is a match. The relationship between the coach and the client is fundamental in the movement and progress made during the coaching agreement.
It's completely understandable that some teens may not initially feel comfortable with the idea of engaging in a coaching/mentor relationship. Respecting their feelings and not pushing them into something they're not ready for is essential. However, it's important to recognize that coaching/mentoring is different from therapy and can be a valuable resource for helping your teenager become the best version of themselves.
One approach to encouraging your teen to explore coaching/mentoring is to involve them in the decision-making process. Consider scheduling a discovery call with Ashley, and allow your teen to ask questions and get to know her. This initial interaction can help your teen feel more at ease and understand that coaching is a supportive, empowering experience.
It might also be helpful to reframe coaching/mentoring as a personalized course or program designed to help your teen feel better and achieve their specific goals. Emphasize that the coaching/mentoring process is all about addressing what matters most to your teenager, not anyone else. This individualized approach is what makes teen coaching incredibly effective. Your teen can begin to see positive results right away, and this early progress can be a strong motivator for continued engagement, leading to even better outcomes.
Ultimately, the decision to explore the coaching/mentoring relationship should be made by your teen. It's vital to approach this conversation with empathy and understanding, offering support and resources without applying pressure. By empowering your teenager to make this choice, you're giving them the opportunity to take control of their personal growth and well-being, while knowing that they have a supportive and experienced coach like Ashley to guide them on their journey.
