Is Your Teen Choosing a Path That Fits—Or One That Just Sounds Safe?
Most teens and young adults choose college majors, trade programs, or career paths based on what sounds good—not what actually aligns with who they are.
The result? Changed majors, wasted time, wasted money, and years of feeling stuck, anxious, or burnt out.
There’s a better way.
If This Sounds Familiar, You’re in the Right Place
For Parents: You’re Watching Your Teen Struggle — And You Don’t Know How to Help
You see it every day. They say they’re “fine,” but they can’t explain WHY they chose their major, career path, or next step. They’re stressed, unmotivated, or avoiding conversations about their future. They picked a direction because it sounded safe or someone else suggested it—not because it fits them.
You’re arguing more at home—tension, frustration, or silent worry about whether they’re making the right choice. Deep down, you both know something’s off, but you don’t know how to fix it.
And deep down, you’re afraid they’ll spend years and thousands of dollars on the wrong path—only to graduate feeling lost and burnt out.
For Teens: You’re Supposed to Have It All Figured Out — But You Don’t
Everyone keeps asking: “What are you doing to do after graduation?”
And honestly? You have no idea.
Maybe you feel pressure to choose college, but you’re not even sure what you’d study. Or you’re curious about a trade or starting a business, but don’t know if that’s “the right choice.” You see friends with plans and feel like you’re falling behind.
Here’s the truth: You’re not lazy. You’re not unmotivated. You’re not behind.
You just haven’t been taught how to figure this out. And that’s exactly what we’re here to help with.
Why LaunchForward Coaching
The Problem Most Teens Face
Most teens choose their path based on what sounds impressive, what pays well, or what someone else suggested. But they're not asking what actually makes them come alive, what their natural strengths are, or what kind of life they want to build.
The Result
30% of college students change their major—often multiple times. Countless others finish their training or degree and realize: “This isn’t what I want.” And by then, they’ve already invested years of time, tens of thousands of dollars, and enormous emotional energy into a path that doesn’t fit.

Whether your teen is considering college or university, trade school or apprenticeship, entering the workforce, starting their own business we guide them through a prove process to discover:
✅Their natural strengths and what energizes them

✅A clear, actionable roadmap to get there

What Happens When Teens Choose Without Clarity
The cost of guessing is higher than most families realize.
For teens, choosing without clarity means years spent studying or training for something that drains them instead of energizes them. They graduate with degrees or certifications they don't use and no sense of direction. Burnout, anxiety, and low confidence set in before their career even starts. They feel stuck, constantly comparing themselves to peers who seem to "have it figured out." For parents, it means watching your teen struggle through classes or training they hate. It means additional years and tens of thousands of dollars when they change paths midway. It's ongoing tension at home—arguments, disappointment, silent frustration—and constant worry about whether they'll ever find their footing. For families, it creates strained relationships due to unmet expectations and miscommunication, financial stress from extended education or career changes, and lost time that could have been spent building a future instead of backtracking from mistakes.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
The teens and young adults who work with LaunchForward Coaching don't just "figure it out eventually." They gain clarity now—so they can choose a path that fits their strengths, values, and vision. They build confidence in their decision and stop second-guessing themselves. They create a clear roadmap with actionable steps toward meaningful goals. And they save years of stress, money, and emotional energy. Their families experience less conflict, more connection, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their teen is on the right path.
Our 8-Week Journey
In our LaunchForward 8-week program, we’ll dive into four key phases that transform uncertainty into a sense of purpose. First, we start with self-discovery, helping young people understand their strengths and what truly excites them. Next, we explore different possibilities and map out the opportunities that align with who they are. Then we create a step-by-step plan that turns their goals into actionable steps. Finally, we launch them forward with the tools and confidence to move into their future feeling ready and inspired.
You don’t have to have it all figured out — you just need the right questions.
Most teens (and their parents) think the goal is to have a perfect plan. But here’s the truth:
Clarity doesn’t come from having all the answers. It comes from asking the right questions.
Questions like: What activities make me lose track of time? What problems do I actually want to solve? What kind of lifestyle do I want to build? What are my natural strengths—and how can I use them? What do I want to be known for?
These are the questions that lead to clarity 🔸 And clarity leads to confidence 🔸 And confidence leads to action
At LaunchForward Coaching, we guide teens and young adults through this exact process. Whether you’re a teen feeling lost, a young adult stuck at a crossroads, or a parent trying to support your child through this transition—You don’t have to do this alone.
