Few young people have a consistent mentor in their lives who isn’t directly tied to evaluation.
Coaches and teachers are amazing mentors, but hold the dual role of assessing, evaluating and determining grades, playing time, and other markers of achievement/success.
The coaching and mentoring I offer to students and their families comes in the form of holistic guidance regarding decisions around courses and course load, extra-curricular commitments, social dynamics, citizenship, and personal growth and development. This work naturally culminates in 11th grade as the college application process or post high school plans begin to take shape.
How We Work Together:
-
A Values-based Process
The compass we will use to guide our work will be the values and norms we co-create to maintain our shared commitment to a healthy and meaningful process.
-
Initial Call
To begin the process of working together, email me to schedule a 30 minute consultation call to see if we are a good fit. If we decide to work together, we will create a plan that works for your family that includes family and student zoom meetings as well as asynchronous work via google docs.
-
Zoom Meetings + Asynchronous Work
I meet with students, their parents/guardians, and sometimes we meet all together. These meetings inspire thought-provoking questions and reflections to understand what is driving the student and their aspirations.
How To Contact Me:
Due to the highly personalized nature of my work, I cap the number of families I work with per year and have an intake process to make sure we are a good fit.
I invite you to schedule a 30-minute introductory call to learn more about what our work together could look like.
If we decide to work together, the cost of this initial call will be credited towards your first contract.
Please reach out by sending an email to: dotkowalcoaching@gmail.com. I look forward to connecting with you within 24-48 hours.
