As many of you know I am working with a lot of teens, families and parents privately as a mentor in study skills, life goals, values and other personal development.  I currently have a waitlist and want to be able to reach all of these people.  I have written my coaching manual as well as made some templates and materials that I use frequently with clients.

-Why this job is perfect for these types of candidates: In a low economy this is a great way to earn extra income and for students or professionals who are looking for more experience working with clients this is the best way to do it!

-Coaches will go through a training process with Vanessa and receive her manual and training program materials.
