Coaching for
Millennials & Gen Z

(you are here)

Every year zillions of people in their twenties and the people who might hire them start checking each other out. We offer coaching for young men and women who are  stepping into this stressful dance.

According to the Wall Street Journal, this dance has become more stressful than ever--especially for new and soon-to-be graduates of career certification programs, skilled-trade schools, and traditional colleges and universities.

The stress lands especially hard on graduates of traditional colleges and universities. Here’s a big reason: A couple of studies asked a similar question of both business leaders and chief academic officers in US colleges and universities. Both groups of leaders were asked to comment on how well-prepared graduates were with the skills and competencies required for workforce success.

• Academic leaders answered 96% “extremely or somewhat confident” that their grads were ready,
• But only 11% of business leaders thought so.

Oops. (And don't get us started on the cost-benefit/debt load required for some four-year degrees.)

The SeattleCoach Network is an affiliation of experienced professionals who have become exceptional coaches and we love what we do. Like a good Northwest craft brewery, in our development of coaches, we start with excellent ingredients and do lots of careful development along the way.

If you are a twenty-something or if you know and love someone who is, review our list of available coaches and then follow that coach's link. Ask for an informational interview.

This will resonate with you if you're in your early twenties to early thirties and . . .

• You're learning to think critically about what you have to offer and how you will make both a living and a difference
• You’ve just graduated--or soon will--and are applying for jobs
• You're want to successfully join a veteran/intergenerational team
  
• You’re exploring the intersection of your aptitudes and your interests
  
• You’re thinking about key ways to build your circle of trusted friends, your personal and professional “visibility,” your network, your brand and even your web presence
  
• You are ready to set some key goals, to find your next steps and get a little more comfortable with competition and even rejection
  
• You’ve thought about connecting with a mentor or coach as you navigate this chapter of your life
