What Nobody Tells Parents of High-Achieving Teens Before They Pick a College
A free 60-minute workshop for parents of teens in 10th–12th grade who are capable, accomplished, and still figuring out what comes next.
College costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. And yet most of the college prep process skips the most important step entirely: helping your teen understand how they're actually wired.
In this workshop, you'll learn the 5 things every parent of a high-achieving teen needs to know before picking a college — including why strong grades aren't the same as self-awareness, and why the college prep timeline is missing the question that matters most.
You'll walk away knowing:
✅ Why your teen looks more confident than they feel
✅ What's actually driving their college decisions (and it might not be what you think)
✅ What to do before test prep and applications so the whole process makes more sense
Two Dates: April 21 at 7pm CST | April 30 at 12pm CST | Zoom

No spam. No pressure. Just real help for you and your teen. Privacy Policy.I’ve had parents tell me,
“She’s smart, but she has no idea what she wants to do!”
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many parents feel torn between stepping in and stepping back. And that is where I come in.
Hey, I’m Anna.
I’m a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC), and an MBA—and I help teens find clarity before applications. My pre-college strengths coaching gives students language for who they are, what they value, and where they’ll thrive before you invest in test prep or admissions advising.
Parents are already investing a lot. My work makes sure your teen knows why they’re heading to college and how their strengths translate to majors, internships, and careers. With clarity, stress drops, confidence rises, and every next step makes more sense.
Results I focus on:
Clear self-description (“who I am” and “how I add value”)
Aligned shortlist of majors/career directions
More confident decisions, less second-guessing
