“Now You Can Help Your Teen Take Trial and Error Out of
Discovering a Perfect Career!”

“I thought I could just take some classes at college and determine what field to study, but that didn’t work. Now, I feel validated and so relieved to have a direction that fits me.â€�

~~Erin, 20-year-old student

Dear Fellow Parent,

You and I belong to a very important and exclusive club. We are (or have been) parents of teens. I’ve been guiding teens for over 20 years now, and I just love them! While they can be challenging from time to time, there is simply no better feeling than watching teens discover their perfect career.

I especially like when this happens to teens because, as teens, they can make informed choices right now that boldly move them toward their passions and callings. Nothing is as gratifying as seeing the sheer enthusiasm and excitement young adults exhibit when they find their place in this world.

And that’s where you come in!

You are reading this page because you love your teen. You’ve loved him or her ever since they first drew breath, even during the hard times. And, now your little one is a teen, facing life as an adult very soon, and you want to help them make that transition as smoothly and positively as possible.

If that describes you, please allow me just a few minutes to share with you my program of proven results. It’s called The 28-Day Career Discovery Experience, and I believe you are going to love what it can do for your teen … and for your family!

Here is something that might surprise you. In fact, this is why I originally created The 28 Day Career Discovery Experience for Teens! A third of all college students leave campus after their first year. Due to the incessant changing of majors, another 30% take five or more years to graduate.

Here’s what one parent told me, “While in college, both daughters changed their majors three times. It cost us an additional $40,000!�

Most people are miserable in their jobs.
Don’t let your teen become one of them!

It’s also a fact that most people who do graduate, hate their jobs - or at a minimum feel that they “missed it” when they chose their current career. Surveys routinely reveal that a whopping 80% of people working in the U.S. are unhappy with their jobs!

There is a reason for this . . . and a way your teen can avoid it! The reason that people are unhappy is because they didn’t have the advantage of taking trial and error out of career planning. Without a clear career direction and the confidence that comes from being validated, they sacrificed their dreams on the altar of the practical.

Simply stated - they have to make money to eat and pay bills, and that becomes their major motivator. After only a few short years of grinding out a living, most people can’t remember what they really wanted out of life. They are on what I call the “work for money treadmill” and find it almost impossible to ever get off.

The truth is that most people know they were made for more - much more - and that they could do more if they weren’t trapped in their current situation.

Help your teen avoid wasting time (and your money!) on studying a field that your teen isn’t suited for or won’t finish!

All it takes is a choice - your choice - to give your teen what you probably didn’t have … a chance to think deeply about what you wanted while being guided by a renowned teen career expert.

And now, thanks to the global reach of the Internet, your teen can have that opportunity!

Here is exactly how it works, and what you and your teen can expect.

Our 28-Day Career Discovery Experience Uses a Real World—not Just an Academic—Orientation

Before you read further, please understand that the things you will see happen in your teen do not happen by accident. Our proven formula works because we have spent over 20 years perfecting the tools and formulas we use! You won’t get these results by merely reading a book or by watching a Dateline special on television. Our structured program paired with 1:1 coaching works because of our deep career development experience and the built-in interaction with your teen.

Most parents are nothing short of amazed at how well our program works, often telling us how thrilled (and relieved) they are to see these positive changes in their teen! I believe you will see those results as well.

“I just wanted to tell you that we think you are awesome! We’ve never seen Brett so excited and motivated before.�

~~ Parents of a 17-year-old

So what exactly does the 28-Day Career Discovery Experience include?

Well, first of all, you should know that the 28-Day Career Discovery Experience is provided by me, Barbara McRae. I will be interacting with your teen personally. Although this page is more about you than me, there are some things you should know (I would want to know them too!) before you consider enrolling your teen.

  • 20 years of experience developing careers with adults and teens.
  • A parent myself.
  • I am a Master Certified Coach – highest level distinction worldwide!
  • Best-selling author of “Coach Your Teen to Success.”
  • Former professional recruiter & Human Resources Director for top Fortune 500 Companies.
  • Former Recruiter for government agencies.
  • Have worked closely with all levels of professionals including senior managers. This means that I understand careers from both sides of the equation.

The bottom line is this . . . I love guiding teens–and my background has created a unique set of skills that I will employ to help your teen discover their passion and identify a perfect career!

Here are only a few of the life-changing skills your teen will gain during their 28-Day Career Discovery Experience

  • Early identification of what type of career/job is most natural and satisfying
  • Learn to avoid wasting time (and money!) studying a field that doesn’t fit strengths and/or lifestyle goals. College is VERY expensive. This Experience will help avoid the endless switching of majors in college and the need for your teen to “find themselves.â€�
  • Select a career that takes into account all job factors, not just the pay.
  • Have certainty about what they want to do and how to go about it right now. This is proven to help teens make quality choices during High School, which helps them build a foundation of success at an early age!
  • He or she will know what environment suits his or her personality and learning/working styles. This is vital when choosing a career.
  • Your teen will feel energized and alive during the week, not just on the weekends.
  • Your teen will be able to bypass trial and error to know whether to work in a mega organization or small business or become an entrepreneur.
  • They will know how to choose the right education the first time they select a major in college or more specialized training.
  • Learn to build on natural abilities and strengths; he or she will become super confident!
  • The ability to make decisions now that make the most out of his or her education.
  • Learn valuable insights about themselves and important tips to get ahead fast.
  • Benefit from professional individualized attention.
  • And much more!

What Results Can You Expect To See?

This is my favorite part! Your teen will be changed. Your teen will gain skills that will see them through some of the hardest years of their life.

No longer destined to drift aimlessly, changing majors in college because they’re unclear about the connection between their classes and the career requirements necessary to be successful, teens will know their strengths (and how to play TO those strengths) know their weaknesses (and how to avoid temptations that exploit those weaknesses) and have a firm grasp on what they want to do with their life!

Imagine if YOU had that knowledge as a teen! Imagine how much more satisfying life would have been if you had been armed with this critical wisdom when you were but just a teen.

Candidly, I’ve met 50 year olds who didn’t know as much about themselves and what they wanted out of life as your teen will know after completing The 28-Day Career Discovery Experience!

What Is The Investment And How Do
I Get My Teen Involved?

We both know that seeing your teen become excited about their future is priceless. It was hard for me to come up with an investment that I felt is appropriate. After all, what would it be worth to help your child find their passion in life … to help them find their perfect work?

While there is no easy answer, I know that some parents have gladly paid $6000 for this type of guidance. Other parents have told me that they paid $4600 and considered it a bargain.

But the fact is that the Internet gives me a huge advantage, and I’m not going to ask you to pay $6000 or $4600 or anything near that.

For a very limited time, I am offering you and your teen the complete 28-Day Career Discovery Experience for a one time fee of only $375. (Normally $675!).

Your teen will receive the complete 28-Day Career Discovery Experience, which includes . . .

  • A complimentary initial consultation where I will personally assess core motivations.
  • Unlimited email consultation. They can ask me anything!
  • A full-range career profile assessment. The Career Profile includes a comprehensive set of assessments done in simple bite-size pieces; the results serves as a blueprint of what your teen needs to be successful in her or her chosen field. A $75.00 Value!
  • Two full hours of one-on-one private tele-coaching with me. The two hours are made up of four 30-minute sessions. This is proven to be the most effective method to hold your teen accountable, explain what the assessments mean, and prepare him or her to make great choices that are in alignment with the results. A $600 Value!

Remember, I’m a Master Certified Coach—one of only a few hundred worldwide, and my fees for private coaching alone are much more than this experience investment when I have the time to consult.

I’ve blocked out time for your teen, but you must act now to ensure that you can get the full 28-Day Career Discover Experience for this incredibly low rate! I don’t know how much longer we can keep it at the price.

I’m often asked, “Why aren’t you charging more for your program?� There are two reasons. One is because every young person deserves to discover how their talents and interests match up with realistic career opportunities. The second reason is that—right now—I’m in a position to offer it at this highly affordable price. This way, cost won’t stand in the way of us helping students align their strengths with a suitable major and a perfect career.

Sign up for 28-Day Career Discovery Experience now here and your order will immediately be securely processed.

I know that you love your young adult and want the very best for him or her. I want the best for your adult child, too which is why I’m devoting devoted my life to young people, and why I created the 28-Day Career Discovery Experience.

I know how much I personally could’ve benefited from a program like this when I was in college. I had an affinity for languages, so I thought it would be logical and fun to become a translator for the United Nations. Big mistake! I could not have been more off of the mark. I took several detours before I got on track.

“I’m so grateful to my mom for giving me the gift of career coaching with you. I wish all teenagers could benefit from your 28-day program.�

~~ Elana, 18-year-old student

I look forward to working with your teen, and look forward also to hearing from you as you watch with delight as your teen blossoms into a confident, self-directed young adult, ready to move confidently toward his or her chosen career.

All the best,
