K-12 Coaching
The Going Beyond Consulting K-12 program prepares kids for the real world with life skills of today and tomorrow. Life skills help us become more versatile and adaptable in life so we can succeed. Some kids today either haven’t learned, or struggle to master, these skills. These life skills are as important as academic study. We incorporate them into the young person’s everyday academic development.
Life skills are a strong foundation for building the generation of tomorrow, empowering them to:
- Become more balanced – mentally and emotionally
