In this episode, I focus on life coaching for young adults with Pam Burke. How can a life coach help your child through the transitional college years to increase their odds of success?
Every year, over a million college students drop out of school. The majority are first-year students with an average dropout rate at 24.3%. Younger students are more likely to drop out because of low interest in the career stream and disinterest in college. This leaves the typical undergraduate college student with approximately $14,000 in student loan debt with an income at 35% lower than that of a college graduate. Needless to say, if you're going to make the jump into college, it's best to know what you want and finish it.
Pamela Burke joins the show to talk about she uses life coaching to help high school and college students navigate through these difficult transitional times to increase their success.
Pam is a certified Martha Beck Wayfinder life coach and founder of Pam Burke Coaching. She is also a certified school counselor with experience in high school and elementary school where she found ways to not only support children, but the teachers and parents too.
She explains how life coaching benefits young adults, the difference between life coaching and counseling, and her approach. Additionally, she gives parents advice so that they know not only if life coaching is a good fit for their child, but how to approach these transitional years with success.
So here is the call to action: Consider a life coach as a powerful change agent to help navigate through the transitional high school, college, and career phases to improve their odds at success.
