Overview
The Young Pioneers Group Coaching Program is a two-month course that looks at the decade from age 22 – 32. This decade can be tremendously exciting and overwhelmingly challenging. Understanding yourself, clarifying the paths you have to choose from, and carving out your own way are among the many exciting and challenging things you deal with.
You will not be told what to think, but you will be challenged to think.
This course consists of prework reflection exercises, guided small group discussions, and open conversations on the topics most relevant to what you are dealing with.
There will be a total of 4 bi-weekly two-hour group discussions. You can also set up two one-on-one conversations with Dan Coughlin if you would like. You can anticipate a time commitment of between 15 and 20 hours for the entire program. Of course, the more you pour into it, the more you will get out of it.
The small group discussions will be on Zoom videoconferencing. This program will run from approximately April 9 – May 26, 2023.
Fee: The Pay-It-Forward Payment Approach
There is no financial fee for this program. However, commitment is an expectation of this program. The other expectation is that each participant will work to help other Young Pioneers through this exciting and challenging decade.
