The state of college students is not good:

The AREN'T graduating!

Four-year graduation rate is only 33.3% and the six-year rate is 57.6%. This puts them in financial debt WITHOUT much earning potential to pay it back.

30% dropout before their second year!

Nothing is worse than generic talk with no tangible help. Together we’ll come up with practical action steps to problems like procrastination, making big decisions, and making friends.

63% of students feel "very lonely"

Loneliness is an epidemic in colleges that leads to poor academic performance, low motivation, depression, and higher dropout rates. 

70% of students are stressed about finances

We believe authenticity is the key to success, so we promise to be authentic and to provide a completely judgement-free space for you to be the real you.

Only 20% meet minimal physical health standards

You don’t need someone to just tell you what to do. You need someone that feels like a teammate, a supporter, encourager, and a good friend you can trust.

What they don’t tell you

about college:

Students are flunking, burning out, and giving up, COSTING YOU time, money, and mental health! And yes, even the good students.

College students today are facing unprecedented challenges that significantly impact their mental, social, academic, and financial well-being. Many students grapple with anxiety and depression, struggling to maintain their mental health amidst the pressures of academic life. Socially, feelings of loneliness and isolation are all too common, making it difficult to form meaningful connections. Academically, the stress and lack of support can often lead to underperformance and even dropping out. Financially, the burden of managing tuition, living expenses, and other costs adds another layer of stress. These compounding issues highlight the critical need for comprehensive support systems like our College Success Coaching Program, designed to help students thrive in all areas of their college experience.

Meet Our Lead Coach

My name is Kurtis. After 15 years of working with students and their parents, I’ve learned that success looks different for everyone, but it always hinges on being calm, capable, and confident. That’s where I come in.

Having worked with thousands of students, the most common feedback I get is how I’ve helped them dial down their anxieties and fears, discover their potential, and feel confident in their ability to succeed.

By combining coaching techniques with my counseling and education backgrounds, I promise after working with me you will have more self-belief and courage than you ever thought possible.

Don’t wait to figure it all out on your own. It’s time to get your college success journey started today!

How Do I Know
If Coaching is
Right For Me?

If you answer “Yes” to any of these questions, a college success coach is the perfect fit for you. They will help you not only navigate these challenges, but learn how to handle them yourself so you can thrive in college as well as for the rest of your young adult life!

Do you have anxiety about going to college?

College brings a lot of brand new challenges for everyone. From doing laundry to dealing with difficult professors. It’s totally normal to be nervous. We will help you navigate each of the challenges in ways that work FOR YOU!

Has your schedule been set for you through high school?

Growing up someone likely woke you up for school, told you when to be there, and reminded you of upcoming assignments. In college, this is ALL ON YOU. We will help you prioritize what really matters to you and come up with a system to get it all done while still having time for fun!

Are you concerned about making friends?

There is no better time to make lifelong friendships than college. However, it can be pretty intimidating to just start talking to someone and ask them to hangout. Where do you even start??? No worries, we will help you identify places to meet people and ways to build the confidence to start connecting!

Do you struggle with procrastination, low motivation, or lack of confidence?

Procrastination is the #1 challenge for college students today! We want to get stuff done but we just keep putting it off for our phones, Netflix, or the almighty nap! Don’t worry! We have helped thousands of students identify what needs to get done, make a plan to do it, and create systems to actually reach the finish line!

Do you need someone to talk with that isn't your parents or friends?

College can be really lonely. Your parents don’t seem to understand, your friends don’t seem to listen (have terrible advice), and you are still figuring it all out! Where else can you turn? Again…we’ve got you. We have been called a “professional friend” by our students. We are here to fully support YOU, but we also have some ideas on how to make things better when you need it!

Nervous about college?

How to balance school, friends, and all that “adulting?”

Get real support and guidance to not only succeed in college, but ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF IT! College comes with a lot of challenges that we often aren’t prepared for like making friends, managing your time, finding your passion, and creating habits that get you where you really want to be! I have helped hundreds of college students figure out what they want, learn the steps to get there, and build the skills to slay it. If you want to succeed academically, socially, and professionally, invest in yourself and your future with our college success program!

Nervous about college?

How to balance school, friends,
and all that “adulting?”

Life coaching has been shown to have significant benefits. Studies reveal that 80% of people who receive coaching report increased self-confidence, and over 70% benefit from improved work performance, relationships, and communication skills. Coaching is also linked to better mental health outcomes, with individuals experiencing significant improvements in well-being and stress management. In fact, virtual one-on-one coaching drives statistically significant improvements in every well-being outcome measured, including self-awareness, stress management, and resilience (PositivePsychology).​
