A Professional Certified Coach, Ms. Sterling finds that what works best in her relationship with her own children are the skills and processes she uses as a professional coach. The Parent as Coach Approach philosophy is based on the belief that we first need to understand what human beings are in order to teach and coach them. This includes often misunderstood teens! From this place of understanding, we learn to offer support, ideas, new perspectives, plans for moving forward, and a host of tools and formats to help people create fulfilling and meaningful lives. Above all, we offer love and compassion to all we serve and come in contact with. Our approach is a proven and practical model for improving and transforming the relationship we as adults have with the teens in our lives. It is based on the roots and synthesis of life coaching, adult learning theories, positive psychology, adolescent development, education and mentoring. As a professional coach, Diana works with parents and teens to help them examine their own core beliefs. This approach teaches parents how to respect their own beliefs and also the emerging beliefs of their emerging adults. Instead of teaching how to manage and control teens, our model helps us as adults appreciate the unique perspective of teens and young adults and to express respect, understanding, and support for who they are right now. This produces uncommon effects of the young person actually feeling respected and heard, which in turn allows an accelerated path for the young person to grow, learn, and produce positive choices and outcomes. We teach parents The Parent as Coach Approach, which does not dictate how to grow up; instead, the parent learns how to guide young people to their own positive decisions, solutions, inherent gifts, and the path to a meaningful and purposeful life. Parents say THIS WORKS. Teens say THANK YOU!
