Our Method
When working with young adults and parents, our initial step is to listen to the current plan(s), goals, expectations, concerns, and realities that families operate under. We treat our clients as unique individuals and we stay away from generalizations that undoubtedly force people into predefined categories. We use no prefabricated scripts or formulas because those tools lead to restrictive generalizations. We stand by our belief that every young adult and parent deserve unique input and advice that is catered specifically towards them.
Our second step is to then contribute feedback on key variables, feedback on critical factors, and important pieces of information that we believe need to be considered before critical decisions are made or with how to move forward in the event that important decisions have already been made.
Our advisors are constantly staying up to speed on the professional and educational landscapes for young adults in today’s world and that of tomorrow so that our input is not outdated nor neglectful of the future young adults and parents are working towards. One of the most significant mistakes that we see young adults and parents make daily is that they make decisions that are based on information and knowledge that were true in the past. Knowledge and information on what was once true and valid may not always be applicable moving forward as the dynamics of today’s society have change gradually and sometimes radically in certain areas!
Another significant error that we see frequently made is when young adults and parents make choices based on the successes and hardships of others. Although we can learn a great deal from the experiences of others, we must be careful not to blindly make choices based on this because there are more than likely critical factors unbeknown to us that lead to the successes and hardships of others.
