SPHERE for Parents

Here at SPHERE Education we are more than Life Coaches we provide Brain Coaching for Parents. You knew it was going to happen, you had this sweet child, you are in charge of loving, nurturing and teaching. The goal being to raise a fabulous adult. Then reality sets in one minute they are moody and surly, the next they are having a screaming temper tantrum, then snuggling with you on the couch. Being a parent is hard work, sometimes you wonder if everyone is going to make it out alive.

SPHERE Education works to help parents understand the joys, the challenges, and gain perspective of the labor of love called parenting.  Brain coaching for parents provides insight to how you were parented and the unconscious blueprint you’ve developed and how that translates to your parenting. Looking at ourselves is sometimes a total mess and we will want to throw in the towel, but learning to own our brains, equips us with the tools to raise our kids in the way we want.

Brain Coaching

Having a brain coach as parent can be an invaluable tool in helping you navigate life and raising kids.

What does a brain coach do?

What does a brain coach do?

Our founder Jenn says it best, “I am a cross between, a big sister, a cool aunt, a therapist, and a teacher.” Brain coaching is learning about how your brain works. Additionally as a teen it is about having a trusted adult to talk to about all the stuff that goes on in life, someone who listens without judgment, helps you work through questions, develop plans, and figure out who you are and who you want to be.

What do you talk about with your coach?

What do you talk about with your coach?

Whatever you want to talk about! Coaching sessions are about you, who you are, what is going on in your life, and what is important to you. Topics discussed can range from friends, romantic relationships, school, grades, graduation, family, sports, jobs/internships, future, promotions/raises, and anything else that is important to you. You and your coach direct the time you spend together, this is about you and what you want and need.

Do I need a brain coach?

Anyone can benefit from a brain coach, there doesn’t have to be something wrong. Studies show that adolescents who have a non-family member mentor to talk to, are happier, make well reasoned decisions, and adjust better to the adult world. In our adolescence it is imperative we find an adult we can ask questions of, help us work out the big decisions, and get sound advice from someone who has been there and can offer perspective.

How long do I work with a brain coach?

How long do I work with a brain coach?

The frequency and length of coaching depends on you. Usually you will work with your coach for 13 weeks, then design a plan that meets your needs. The length of the coaching differs by person, some clients meet with a coach for years, others a few months or a year or two. Unstructured coaching is tailored to address the challenges you face customized to fit your needs. For a more structured program check out Brain Ownership.

  • I have known Jenn on a business and personal level now for a few years. I don’t know too many folks that are as impressive as she is. Her talents and experience cross over into so many aspects of life. The way in which she provides direction is subtle but has pin point accuracy. Jenn affords young people the ability to create a path for development in all areas of life. I know of two other families that have benefited from Jenn and SPHERE and one of which is currently attending USC on a full ride thanks in part to Jenn and he commitment to our youth. read more
