As a parent, coach, and leader, I guide people to achieve their fullest potential. My life goal is to help teens and their parents lead joyful, whole-hearted, and fulfilling lives—and I want them to be happier at the end of our programme than they were at the start! A mum of two teens, I watched how they struggled with the challenges of adolescence. It then struck me that my children could benefit from coaching — just like how I coached my team to thrive at the workplace. Unfortunately, it took me a long time to find suitable teen coaches for them — there were hardly any! The few that I found focused solely on study skills, neglecting other important aspects of a teen’s development. Others focused on counselling, helping teens deal with past issues. I wanted a focused coach to help my teens navigate problems, and get them to where they wanted to be (sometimes helping them find this path), while giving them the motivation to be the best that they could be.

My mum signed me up with Liane Shaw Coaching and I was sceptical at first. But Liane was easy to talk to from the first session, and it was easy sharing what was going on with her. I looked forward to our weekly sessions. The sessions were not always easy, as Liane sometimes challenged me to think about things I had been putting off. But at the end of the session, I felt good and motivated to make myself a better person.

It was easy talking and sharing with Liane as she didn't judge me at all. It is hard to describe the coaching sessions, but at the end of the sessions, I felt better about myself. I felt that what I was thinking and feeling was normal, and it was ok to think and feel that way. Liane listened to me a lot and asked a lot of questions, and helped me improve my confidence and self esteem, and I feel a lot better about myself.

Before the coaching sessions, I was starting to get demotivated with school. I am a good student, but I just felt that I was not good enough. Through the sessions, I started to get my motivation back — not just to do better in school, but I wanted to do better in school. Liane helped me set goals, and develop strategies to achieve them.
