Inside the LaunchForward 8-Week Program

If you’re the parent of a teen or young adult who’s feeling lost about their future — unsure about college, careers, or even what they want — you’re not alone. Today’s students face more pressure and uncertainty than ever. They’re told to “find their passion” or “just pick something,” often without the clarity, confidence, or tools to make those decisions well. That’s where the LaunchForward Coaching Program comes in — an 8-week, structured yet deeply personal process designed to help teens and young adults move from confusion to clarity.

🌱 The Heart of the Program

The LaunchForward Coaching Program is built around a simple belief: When young people truly understand themselves — their strengths, motivations, and needs — they can make choices that fit who they are and where they want to go.

Over eight weeks, students are guided through a step-by-step process that blends self-discovery, exploration, and action. Each phase builds on the last, helping students gain insight, direction, and momentum. This isn’t about giving them the answers — it’s about giving them the tools to find their own path.

🧭 A High-Level Look at the Journey

While every student’s experience is unique, the LaunchForward process moves through four key stages:

1. Self-Discovery

We start by helping each student understand who they are — their natural interests, values, and motivations. Through reflection, conversation, and the Birkman Assessment, they begin to see their unique strengths and what environments help them thrive.

Outcome: A clear sense of identity and renewed confidence in what makes them unique.

2. Exploration

Next, we connect self-knowledge to the world around them. Students explore possible career and education paths that align with their personality, strengths, and values — not just what sounds practical or expected.

Outcome: New awareness of what’s possible and a deeper sense of direction.

3. Planning

Here, we turn ideas into action. Students identify short-term goals and create a personalized roadmap for what comes next — whether that’s choosing a major, planning internships, or developing essential life skills for independence and growth.

Outcome: Clarity and confidence about concrete next steps.

4. Launch

Finally, we focus on readiness — learning how to take action, adapt, and evaluate choices as they grow. This stage helps students practice decision-making, self-reflection, and communication skills they’ll carry for life.

Outcome: A student who feels capable, prepared, and excited about the future — not pressured by it.

💬 What Makes LaunchForward Different

There’s no one-size-fits-all formula here. Every session is personalized — tailored to each teen’s personality, goals, and readiness level. Parents are included at key points to ensure alignment, support, and peace of mind.

Unlike traditional advising or test prep, this program focuses on the whole person — building confidence, emotional insight, and decision-making skills that last well beyond high school or college.

It’s not just about “what comes next.” It’s about helping young people discover who they are — so that every next step makes sense.

📘 What Families Can Expect

✨ The Transformation

By the end of eight weeks, students typically move from:

They leave with confidence, clarity, and a practical action plan for moving forward — along with a new way of thinking about their future.
