Why Good Grades and a Good Major Aren't Enough: The One Thing Missing in the College Conversation

A free 45-minute workshop for parents of teens in 10th–12th grade who are capable, accomplished, and figuring out what’s next.

In this workshop, you'll learn the three things you need to line up before your teen picks a college, and the one thing most families overlook.

You'll walk away knowing:
✔️ The three-part framework most college conversations are missing
✔️ Why strong grades and a clear major aren't enough on their own
✔️ The one piece that turns a college decision into the right one for your teen

The Date: June 2 at 12pm CST | Zoom

I'm Anna Nelson, MBA, Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach and ICF Certified Coach. I've coached hundreds of people, from Fortune 500 executives to entrepreneurs. I’m now bringing that same approach to the next generation, so they can have clarity around college and career now instead of 20 years from now. This workshop will show you how I do that.

    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 college applications. My college and career readiness coaching gives students language for how they're wired, what makes a path viable, and where their academics actually point.

    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
