Coaching for Young People

Turning dreams into reality

“I found Sharon Lawton’s talk really liberating and inspirational. I came out thinking ‘I can do this’ and will put into practice the positive affirmations and what I learned about ‘Power Poses’ to help me get the job I want in the future.”

- Imogen Sydes, Year 13 Robert Barclay Academy, Hoddesdon.

Hello,

If you are reading this, then I guess you or someone in your family has recommended coaching as a way forward to support you at this stage in your life journey.

I believe that coaching is a positive, solution-focused approach which builds lifelong tools and self-awareness to stay in charge of your personal well-being and navigate life’s challenges. Together we will look at building powerful "mini-habits" to supercharge your success.  

By identifying new positive "mini-habits" it's easier to get started, and, once started, more often than not you will exceed your personal goal or smash your personal challenge area. 

You will also learn amazing things about yourself in the process.

During our series of coaching sessions, you will discover…

Your strengths and values, establish solution building skills, identify how to overcome obstacles, focus on decision-making skills, learn how to set realistic goals, and boost your self-confidence. 

We will also look at an amazing way of understanding yourself and others to help you understand who you are and why you and others think and act the way we do.   We do this using a strategy and tool called DISC. 

DISC is a fun way of looking at our style of personality and a way of understanding what makes you different from some people and similar to others.  I look forward to meeting you.

WHO IT’S FOR

Coaching is suited for young people who want to…

Take action and grow through  investing in themselves to make a change  and overcome common challenges.

I can help you develop confidence and self-esteem, improve your communication and interview skills, and build resilience in the face of self-doubt or conflict.

I believe that every person has the potential to achieve their goals and dreams, and I’m here to help you unleash that potential. 

Examples of areas for investing in Youth Coaching include:-

  • Confidence and positive mindset

  • Dealing with anxious feelings

  • Confidence in exams

  • Tools and life hacks to navigate through life

  • Interview and communication skills

  • Conflict and resilience techniques

 

I can either coach with you face to face at my purpose built Broxbourne studio or virtually via zoom either in the evenings or Saturdays. I hold a full DBS check and I am mental health first aid (Youth) trained.

Let's embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth together. I can't wait to meet you! Get in touch here >

 

  • "Seeing Sharon has really helped me to control my anger and look at things in a more positive way. Now that I have been using the strategies that Sharon has taught me, the people who tried to wind me up have got bored of me ignoring them and have now stopped. I would really recommend Sharon's coaching as it has helped me a lot."

  • "I have just completed a six week confidence coaching package with Sharon, it has really helped me to boost my confidence. I have learnt many tips and tricks that have really helped me to understand myself better, and apply techniques that have helped me to remain calm, through mindfulness, breathing, positive affirmations and body stances."

  • "Dear Sharon, Thank you so much for your excellent coaching for my daughter. I know it has helped per a lot. She is a much happier girl now than when she started 3 months ago, I believe she will practice her anchoring when she is in better form, as well as the many other tools and strategies you have provided her. Thanks again. I would highly recommend your coaching to any parent, and if any parent wants a recommendation I would be very happy to talk to them."

  • "Dear Sharon, I loved today’s Monday moment! I just wanted to let you know "XX"is doing really well and is happy to wait until after our holiday to see you again. She did her half marathon in 2hrs 56 mins last weekend and is really chuffed (You will be hearing from her on this!). Her eating has remained good post run. She has auditioned for a part in the school musical next year and her confidence generally is improving. You have certainly helped her manage her responses to what life throws at her. Thank you SO much Sharon from the bottom of my heart."
