Milena has a great passion for working with the teenagers and young adults – Coaching them through their transitional phase from Primary to High school and the years that follow. This comes after her personal experience with her daughter who fell ill due to her life changing challenges going into high school.
She has coached clients locally and internationally supporting families to communicate more effectively to gain an improved sense of the family unit. These facilitated conversations between family members have allowed for resolution and relationship growth.
Effective communication is key to having a good relationship. Accessing that practice of talking and feeling heard is the start of everyone’s journey.
Through her coaching process with her clients (teens and young adults) Milena focus on meeting them where they are at and not where they are expected to be. Supporting them to find their sense of self helps them build confidence and find direction and clarity.
Milena’s emphasis lies with helping her clients create good balance in their lives, practice effective communication with others and maintaining perspective when life offers them challenging times.
When coaching teens, Milena welcomes their parents’ participation throughout the process. This helps build a collective family unit of mutual respect and understanding for all.
Change can be hard, but with the appropriate tools, Milena’s clients learn how to self-manage and work through their challenges with success.
Milena studied coaching at one of South Africa’s leading specialist coaching academies and is ICF Accredited.
