Get some fresh ideas for your personal goals over coffee (or tea - your preference)!
We all feel stuck from time to time. Hey, chill, it's a normal part of figuring things out in life.
Time to get unstuck!
Sometimes, all it takes is a good conversation to get the ideas flowing, see things differently, and find a way forward. If you have a good friend or family member to sit down and chat with you, go ahead! That may already be useful for you.
Now, if you want someone neutral and objective, who won't make any assumptions, consider signing up for a 1-on-1 coffee chat with a trained coach from Break The Wheel. Over a cuppa, you'll have a chance to talk things through and explore new perspectives with someone who knows how to listen, ask thoughtful questions and draw out your strengths.
Open to youth ages 15-30.
It's a guided conversation.
First, identify the topic or goal that you want to work on with your coach. It can be anything related to your personal or professional growth. People have taken the opportunity to discuss things like their future career and academic pathways, peer relationships, and leadership strengths.
Underlying themes that may arise during the chat include things like navigating uncertainty, overcoming self-doubt about one's progress compared to others, or bouncing back from setbacks.
It's your conversation - you decide what you want to talk about.
Second, brainstorm some practical ideas with your coach and commit to them. You go off after the chat feeling energised (and not just from the caffeine), with a clear plan on options to try next.
Come back when you have updates, and your coach would love to hear about your experience - both progress and setbacks! Growth is non-linear after all, and we have much to learn from both success and failure. Keep trying and you'll see progress!
You decide on a mutually convenient place and time with your coach! It can be a cafe (check out this list) or a community space that's conducive for a chat (i.e. moderately quiet, not crowded, ample seating). No private spaces please.
Just pay for the coffee! We want to keep this accessible to all youths. If you're not able to pay for the coffee, let us know privately before we match you with a coach.
