To find out why life coaching teens and life coaching young adults has changes so profoundly and how to bring our life knowledge to this amazing generation, we have to understand what makes them so different and then how to mentor / life coach young adults using these new techniques.

1. Teens and Young Adults live online.There is no “real world” where the average teen or young adult that you would mentor feels comfortable in. Our job is get them to feel comfortable by starting where they live; online! That makes online mentoring of young adults the most powerful starting point. We shall use it to get them to be successful in the real world but we must start where they are.
2. Life Coaching Teens means “piercing the target”.This is one of Ken Rabow’s favorite methods. If you are life coaching teens and life coaching young adults you should be aware of the fact that whatever you talk about, i.e. Sputnik (no, it never comes up in conversation , as you mention the name, your Millennial has opened 12 different tabs on the subject. Millennials have a very wide knowledge base with not much depth (outside of what really, really interests them) and don’t know how to take the things they have profound knowledge into any other part of life.Why? Because when you see every possibility, it’s impossible to start as it means you aren’t doing the other 11 choices. This is why we teach “piercing the target”. Just starting little things and learning to stick their metaphoric toes in the water.
3. Communication with adults is fraught with judgments and dealing with the parts of life that suck.If you want to be a teen life coach, you have to start focusing on their goals and not what isn’t working. Too many people live their lives by their labels: ADD, Anxiety; ODD; Aspie, etc. We are not our labels. When you train with Mentors Professional Workshop to become a professional Mentor for young adults, you will learn the GCS. How to create goals, challenges to those goals and the first sign-posts of success. We amplify what we focus on. MPW will educate you on life coaching teens and life coaching young adults towards success.

There are three challenges to having a great career as a mentor for young adults:

1) Finding clients
2) Keeping current to help your clients
3) Burn out

1) Finding clients to Mentor:

It is a difficult and challenging undertaking to find the right clients for your practice. World Wide Youth Mentoring Inc. (WWYM) has spent the past 10 years mastering the use of website based promotion, along with Ken's Huffington Post articles, his book "The Slacker's Guide to Success" and various guest appearances to create a high profile for parents seeking mentors.

Not only do we get clients for you but we choose the right clients for you based on our experience, your study history with us and the level you have achieved. (1st degree Mentors are not getting Master Level Mentor challenged clients).

2) Keeping Current to Help Your Clients

Mentoring young adults is an every-changing landscape. If you were stuck alone in your practice, you would need to do hundreds of hours of research to stay current. Millennials, Generation Z, and soon Generation Alpha have so many different issues and need to be addressed in different ways. When you study you learn up-to-the-minute information on how to mentor teens and young adults (as well as family issues) but as you grow in your practice, you will always have the options to get the most recent new information to see your practice strong.

The post How To Know If Mentoring Is For You appeared first on .

These days I am being asked by the "C's" in organizations to give workshops on how to bring Millennials into big business and I really enjoy the experience of sharing that knowledge. The most frequent question I get is:

"Is it worth trying to "fix" our Millennial "problem" or should we just skip the "pain-in-the-ass generation" and wait for the next one coming up? (They seem easier to deal with)".

Before I answer that question, let me tell you how I know what I know about Millennials:
I spend over 1,000 hours a year one-on-one life coaching young adults, who have given up talking to Boomers about why they are having problems because they feel they are never truly heard.

I help these Millennials find their personal power and get them to excel in whatever field they set their hearts to. What I discover is that once they are no longer focused on the label foisted upon them and start to build up simple small successes... they have greatness within them.

I have no doubt that they will be leaders in their fields one day soon and change a great deal of how business is done. Also, as of 2015, Millennials have overtaken Boomers as the biggest demographic ever!

To learn how and why we should mentor Millennials in the workforce, let's look at an unusual source:

Finding the right people that we seek in the new paradigm:

In an article entitled: "Why doesn't anybody copy Apple?" Asymco's Haroce Dediu said the following:

"It's complex, it's subtle, it defies explanation but it's not magic. It's a process that requires a degree of faith and fortitude. It's collecting but ignoring data and trusting judgment when data tells you to move in a different direction. It's a lot of willful rejection of conventional wisdom. It's asymmetric approaches to competition. It's art as much as science. And most of all, it's a lot of mind-numbing polishing while trusting that only by doing great work is survival even possible."

That is also the definition of the Millennials that we meet.

Here are some questions every business should ask themselves today: 

1) In a changing world, where desktop computing and marketing will be meeting the same fate as the Pogo stick, Fax machines, and Blackberrys, how can your company evolve while embracing Millennials, the first generation who experience life through social media on handhelds. A new generation who really want to impact their work environment in a profound way but require a whole new way to mentor them.

2) When do you have to shift to a new mindset before this generation becomes the new demographic of change makers in the next seven years?

3) What means can you employ to stay relevant when all of what is perceived of as the client landscape is changing faster than a rabbit at a fox convention.

Here are three simple things you can do to embrace, empower and mentor Millennials:

1) Open, honest and direct communication: Millennials in the workforce want to know how the tasks they are undertaking will make a difference in the overall goals of the place they emotionally invest in. The more clarity they have on an ongoing basis, the easier it will be for them to embrace the reason your company is/will be great.

2) Lead by inspiration: A key incentive for Millennials is happiness; down the list is financial gain. Help them be in an inspiring and enthusiastic work environment and make sure that the work is based on tasks and goals not a time-clock.

3) Opportunities for growth: Millennials want to grow as professionals and as people. Creating opportunities to learn and evolve are vital to attracting, retaining and engaging Millennials. Mentoring programs can help the entire culture grow your business and industry by letting the unconventional meet a new business landscape.

There you have it.

A beginning for a new way to look at one of the greatest generations since the great war. Embrace them! Dialogue with them and whenever possible, avoid commanding them... this is not <em>that </em>generation. This is the generation of asymmetry.
