For Parents, the One on One coaching sessions
include:
Personality Assessment
*The Myers Briggs, (MBTI) personality
questionnaire specifically for teenagers, is completed on
line. From this your teen will be provided with two
reports:
- Career Report
- Most common careers for their personality
type
- Work tasks they like to use and
- Career options
- Personality Report
- Strengths and stretches
- How they prefer to interact with others, process
information and make decisions
- Study skill strategies
- Suggestions for working with others, friends, teachers
and parents
Skills/Passions/Values
Through a series of exercises information is gathered on
what skills they like to use, what their interests and
passions are, what they dream about doing and what is really
important to them in a job or career that will assist them
to be successful.
Action Plan
At the completion of the process students will leave the sessions with an action
plan of what to do next. This could include spending time with people who
do
the job they are interested in, digging deeper into identified study courses
or even goals to achieve for study. We can also provide where possible people
to talk with who do the jobs teenagers are interested in. School
subject choices are checked as well as information provided on where best to
study.
Follow up
After the two sessions, students may come back the following week, month, 6
months or year – all included in the one fee. This could be,
as an example, to clarify a study course or confirm a direction.
Feedback
After the two one hour sessions with the student the outcomes are discussed
with parents either by phone or in person. Students are encouraged to
discuss with their parents what they have discovered and their planned actions.

"MBTI process, finding out strengths and weaknesses, helped career path.
Made me realize that first year science and psychology was what I wanted to
do." - Nikki, Year 13 Macleans College
Ability Testing
This is not included in the fee above as we believe this only needs to be completed
if:
- We are unsure of a student’s potential
- School has not supported a student’s potential
- An assessment is needed for a particular course of study to ascertain ability
Ability testing includes 3 assessments:
Verbal & Numeric Reasoning
- Assesses what has been taught at school. The verbal reasoning
measures fluency and basic vocabulary. While numeric reasoning
assesses the ability to use numbers in a logical, efficient way.
Abstract Reasoning
- Excellent tool as success or otherwise at school has no impact on this
assessment. So no matter what level of school ability the student is,
this test will measure the innate smarts of a student. Assesses
logic and reasoning. Very useful to assess potential as well as for those
with English as a second language.
Note: There is an additional $50 for ability assessments.
Other areas that Coaching can cover:
- Study skills - providing tools and advice on how to study well. Setting
study goals.
- Teaching students about topics such as self responsibility, motivation
and having a positive attitude
- CV development
- Interview skills.
