Episode 332 - Martin Naffziger on Choosing the Next Step Based on Values, Not Timelines

In this episode of Success Is Subjective, Joanna sits down with Martin Joseph Naffziger, an educator and college counselor who has spent decades helping young people step off default paths and define success on their own terms. Martin shares how early international experiences reshaped his understanding of education, why success should be viewed as a moving target, and what happens when young people are given space to reflect on their values instead of being rushed into traditional milestones. The conversation also explores the role parents play in providing safety without control, the importance of reflection in growth, and how stepping outside comfort zones is essential for meaningful development.Martin’s Resources: LinkedIn: Martin Joseph NaffzigerNew Summit AcademyInstagram: @newsummitacademyFacebook: New Summit Academy Costa Rica The Bridge - Costa RicaFacebook: The Bridge Costa Rica Peace CorpsConnect with Joanna Lilley  Therapeutic Consulting AssociationLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on Facebook Lilley Consulting on YouTubeEmail [email protected]#TherapeuticConsulting #LilleyConsulting #Successful #TherapeuticPrograms #Therapy #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #Podcast #PodcastCommunity #TheJourney #SuccessIsSubjectivePodcast #TheUnpavedRoad #PFCAudioVideo #BoardingSchool #StudyAbroud #CostaRica #NSACR #NewSummitAcademy #TheBridgeProgram
