Success Stories
Arise Coaching provides a platform for our youth to explore and understand the characteristics that make our children so unique and special. The initial assessment was accurate and articulated my boy's true personality traits.
Estella _ AZ
I've always been a skeptic about coaching, but my experience with this company has been nothing short of extraordinary. The sessions allowed my teen to explore their inner self and confront deep-seated fears. They were given tools to support them in school and life.

Our son went through Strong Mind Strong Future, course this past winter before going into his baseball season. This course has helped his confidence, overcome errors, and built relationships with his teammates.

Common Concerns from Parents - Answered with Care
Because your child's future matters, and your peace of mind does too!
We understand that enrolling your child in a coaching program is a big decision. Here are some of the most common questions and concerns we hear - and how ARISE Coaching & Training addresses them with compassion, clarity, and faith.
💬 “My child isn’t struggling. Do they still need this? "Coaching isn’t just for problems—it’s for growth. Even thriving kids benefit from learning mindset tools, leadership skills, and emotional resilience. This is about unlocking their full potential and preparing them for the future with confidence.
The duration of a coaching engagement can vary based on individual goals and needs. Some clients find value in a few sessions focused on specific issues or challenges, while others may engage in longer-term coaching to achieve more substantial personal or professional transformations. Typically, a coaching relationship may last anywhere from a few months to a year or longer. It's essential to discuss your objectives and expectations with your coach to determine the best timeline for your coaching journey.
💬 “What’s the difference between coaching and therapy?”Therapy helps teens heal from the past. Coaching helps them move forward with vision and tools. We’re not here to diagnose—we’re here to build. Our sessions are proactive, goal-focused, and full of practical strategies your child can apply right away.
[Once you've worked with GG on the objections or questions your clients may have, ask her for help drafting the answers to those questions!]
💬 “Is this really worth the investment?”This is more than a program—it’s a life-changing experience. You’re not just paying for sessions. You’re investing in your child’s mindset, character, confidence, and God-given calling. What they gain now will impact them for years to come.
