Why a Life Coach for Young Adults Makes Sense

Today’s young adults face an overwhelming number of major life decisions and transitions. From navigating a classroom, to pursuing a healthy social life, to setting life goals, can be a lot to manage within the span of just a few years. Doing it alone can lead to stress and the feeling of being stuck or lost.

4 Key Reasons for Young Adults to Use a Coach

  1. Planning and goal creation

  2. Navigating classroom and academics

  3. Managing social and emotional challenges

  4. Accountability for personal growth and self-success.

About

My name is Dr. Brian Harke

I have been working in the areas of leadership and counseling in both the corporate sector and higher education, for more than 30 years.

As an Assistant Dean in the Business School at University of San Francisco, I helped guide students on paths of success, both in and outside of the classroom. I honed my coaching skills while working with hundreds of students as a Dean of Students, at the University of Southern California.

 

My leadership and counseling credentials focus on a BA in Communications, from Washington University in St. Louis. Master of Art in Counseling College Students from St. Mary’s College, and Doctorate in Organizational Leadership from University of San Francisco (USF).  

 

It is at USF that I did major research and my dissertation on the transition of college age students and the social, emotional, and academic challenges students have when trying to succeed. This research and the 30 years of corporate and academic leadership have helped to round out my skills as a Whole-Person Life Coach for students. I bring a wealth of insight into the areas of student success. 

 

I look forward to speaking with you about your needs and how we can develop a road map for guidance to set new goals to help you succeed in life and school.

All sessions are done remotely in order to reach you where you are at and at times that don't interfere. Contact me for more information.
