Parent/Guardian Application

Congratulations on taking this step in supporting your child as they pursue their calling as a performing arts professional. Support from important adults is crucial to a young person’s development, and giving it is not always easy. I commend you for extending yourself in this way.

While the focus of my coaching is on the young person - the articulation of their goals and values, and the development of the skills needed for them to achieve those goals - the parent/guardian often plays a significant role in the process. The questions below will give me an idea of your family’s current situation, as well as the career-related paradigms you bring to that situation. These will help to guide our first conversation together.

After I receive responses from you and your child, I will send you both an email with a few available times for your first free phone call. During that call, we will talk about your situation and get a mutual sense for whether coaching will be beneficial for your child in achieving their goals.

Thank you in advance for sharing your responses and for taking the time to be as thorough as possible. I look forward to talking!

Hiring and working with me is a financial and emotional investment in your child, and one that offers tremendous value. During our sessions and in the work in between, your child will be able to see all the options that lie in front of them and gain clarity on their way forward. More importantly, they will develop skills necessary for making great decisions for years to come. If we decide to work with one another, and assuming the financial investment is possible for you, are you prepared to make our working together a priority with your time, money, and energy?
