And what we realized from working with 30, 40, 50 year olds was if we could have gotten to them when they were in ninth grade, in middle school, in high school, and equipped them with the same things we're teaching them now, the ripple effects would be huge.
And so back in 2020, we decided to formulate a coaching program for youth, equipping youth with the same types of skill development that we typically work on with adults. We just apply it to their world.
And what that looks like is teaching them the study skills, the communication skills that they can use every day in the classroom and outside the classroom, coaching them on the mindset and the motivation of someone who's a top performer. And what does that mean? It means helping a young teenager create and craft a vision for themselves. Because without a vision, we perish.
But with a vision, we can be equipped with the motivation to dig into our study habits. We can see the connection between our future and the excellence that we have to form in our habits now to be successful in the long run. And we also work on the emotional intelligence.
It's how we balance our emotions and manage those emotions when they come up in a way that allows us to communicate effectively with others and to communicate with ourselves. It's about equipping young people with self-talk. That means equipping them with the language that they can use to better direct their thoughts and their mind to accomplish their goals and their aims.
And lastly, we equip them with the systems. That means for us, the tools, the time management and the organization strategies to not just work hard in life, but to work smart. And when we combine all these different areas that we work with our teens on, what we find is that they form the habits early in life that allows them to achieve their goals later in life and even right now.
And so our passion is to equip as many young people across this world as we can. And we're doing pretty good so far. We've got teens in seven different countries who have been through our coaching program to date. We've worked with over 400 teens, and we would love to be able to serve you as well. Here's how it works. If you want to investigate coaching, we start with a parent consultation.
That's a free call to discuss your students' particular needs and our program details. We work with Olympic athletes all the way down to teens that are just struggling to motivate themselves to do the daily work necessary in their class. So wherever your teen is, we'll meet them where they are and get them to the next level. And that starts with a parent consultation with you.
A student planning session, that's the next step. If we agree that the value that coaching can bring matches your team, then we will move to a student planning session. It's basically a free one-on-one coaching session with your team. And that is designed to support them, but it's also designed to ask a lot of questions to help explore whether or not they want to be coached.
Because at the end of the day, they ultimately have to be the one that pulls the trigger. And then after your student planning session, we get them paired with the right coach for them. We have an amazing staff of coaches from ex-division one athletes, people who've come from the Ivy League system.
We have coaches who have come from entrepreneurial backgrounds and acting backgrounds, so we can pair them with the right fit for them. And then once they partner with their coach, they'll benefit from two coaching sessions a month to really zone in on their personal growth and their skill development.
So if you're ready to give your student the tools they need to be successful, click the link in the show notes, for more information, and to make sure you can schedule your free parent consultation today.
Listeners, welcome back to the Action Catalyst. This is Overtime with Outland. And today we're going to be talking about episode 468 with author, physician, and medical director for the NFL Players Association, Dr. Tom Mayer. In this episode, we reap the benefit of a lot of Tom's experience, which is quite extensive. And from that experience, we gathered a lot of great insights.
Number one, when it comes to building your team, put relationships over resumes. When Tom was hired as the medical director for the NFL Players Association, it wasn't because his resume rose to the top of the stack. He had a personal relationship with the executive director of the association.
He'd seen him in the other leadership situations before and knew he had what it took to meet the demands of the job. It wasn't a matter of having a longer list of credentials. It was honestly a matter of trust and confidence. Tom never forgot that a relationship is always more powerful than even the best resume. Number two, work on sucking down versus sucking up.
Tom saw this firsthand when he responded to the attack on the Pentagon in 9-11. Generals and other high-powered figures were all over the scene, but those weren't the people getting their hands dirty, sorting through the rubble, helping the wounded. Tom knew that to get things done, it's not about sucking up to those with the big titles.
It's about sucking down to the ones who are doing the day-to-day tasks. He calls these people the we suite. And he says that's who we should be giving attention to, not necessarily the C-suite. Number three, Tom says that your purpose is found where your deep joy intersects with the world's deepest needs. But the order is important. You have to start with your deep joy, not the world's needs.
The world's deep needs are infinite. There will never stop being needs all over the globe. But if you start with your deep joy, your passion, you'll always be on the right path. Number four, create an expert team rather than just a team of experts. They're not the same thing.
People who work seamlessly across boundaries who understand what the goal is and have the ability to trust each other to come up with the ideas. He cites the Kansas City Chiefs as his prime example. He said, or how to cover against other players. And every single member is involved. That's an expert team taking, as Tom calls it, creative chemistry.
For these tips and so, so much more, check out the interview in Action Catalyst episode 468 with Dr. Tom Mayer. Honestly, this is one of my favorite interviews. I enjoyed it so much and I got so much from my conversation with him. So I'd really encourage you to listen to episode 468, Dr. Tom Mayer.
