Millennial Coaching
Helping Your Son or Daughter Gain a Competitive Edge
Over the years, several clients have approached me about coaching their sons and daughters. These bright, capable young adults were working in non-traditional firms that lacked formal coaching or development programs. Because their parents had experienced the value of professional coaching themselves, they wanted to offer the same advantage to their children—to give them a competitive edge early in their careers.
Through this work, we’ve identified three distinct phases where millennials often face
challenges:
1. Launching Their Career
Kathryn, 22, graduated with honors from her Ivy League school. Like many of today’s college graduates, she had strong internships and extracurricular achievements—but still struggled to land her first professional role.
Through coaching, Kathryn learned how to leverage her social capital to generate leads, sharpen her interview skills, and effectively market herself. She secured an excellent position, and we continued working together during her first year to support a smooth transition and help her stay on
track.
2. Stepping Into Leadership
Jordan, 28, joined a fast-paced tech startup and was quickly promoted to a leadership role. While Jordan’s technical skills were exceptional, leading a team and driving results through others was unfamiliar territory.
Over six months, our coaching focused on developing leadership competencies—such as selecting, developing, and managing talent. As a result, Jordan gained the confidence and skill set needed to thrive in a demanding
environment.
3. Navigating Career Transitions
Vince, in his early 30s, had built a successful career at a mid-sized consulting firm but began to question whether it was truly the right path.
We worked together to explore his goals and values, clarify his frustrations, and identify more fulfilling opportunities. Ultimately, Vince made a successful transition into a new role that better aligned with his long-term
aspirations.
A Meaningful Investment
This work has been deeply rewarding, and feedback from both clients and their families confirms its impact. For many young professionals in their 20s and 30s, coaching provides clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of direction during pivotal career moments.
If you believe this service could benefit your child—or someone you know—please don’t hesitate to
reach out. I’d be happy to share more.
