Barbara’s Passion

My passion for helping parents and youth stems from the difficulties I had during my childhood in communicating with my parents. I especially longed for emotional support.

There is no telling what trouble I would’ve gotten into - as an emerging teen - had I not finally met Elizabeth, my godmother. My self-confidence was at an all time low, but knowing her changed the course of my life!

She was the first caring adult I encountered who really listened to me and encouraged me to be my truest self. Looking back I can see that she became my role model for communicating with others, including my stepchildren.

Due to Elizabeth’s positive influence, I developed a keen interest in learning and teaching advanced communication skills. This ultimately led to my becoming a Master Certified Coach (one of a few hundred) and licensing Coach Your Teen to Success™ and the Study of You ™ facilitators worldwide.

Today’s research supports what my godmother already knew: that all kinds of risky business can be avoided when teens feel safe confiding in a trusted adult! I’m committed to unleashing the potential of our preteens and teens. How about you?
