124: College or Not Series: Four Conversation to Help Your Child Find their Passion with Stephanie Haynes

For the next couple of weeks, we are going to be having a conversation around college and careers for our kids. I will be bringing in colleagues and experts to discuss how we can support our children as they grow and find their passion and career that is fulfilling for them. When I meet with a family for the first time, or they sit down to do one of my courses, one of the first things we do is start crafting a vision of the future: hopes, goals, and dreams for their kids. At some point, most families mention that they want their kids to be "successful" and that opens a whole new conversation! ​ The world is waking up to the idea that there are many pathways to and definitions of a successful future, and I'm hoping that this series will get you thinking about these big questions for your own family. No matter your child's age, there is a space for you in this conversation, but I hope it's particularly helpful for you if you have teens and tweens! For the first episode, I brought in Stephanie Haynes. She is an Education Coach and Consultant. Specializing in post-high school pathway development, goal setting and time management, and classroom and school culture development, Stephanie’s vision is to motivate her clients to take the time to create a compelling vision for their future, their classroom, or their school and develop actionable steps to build it into a reality. ​ ​ If you want to have a guide in navigating all the options available to our kids after high school, check out Stephanie's book, College is Not Mandatory.
