Youth Achievement Coaching
Developing Xcellence in Youth - Training, Resource and Consultancy was established in 2002 as a means of providing bespoke personal development coaching services for young people aged 10-19 and the adults who support them.
Our primary aim is to provide a quality standard of excellence in the provision of youth achievement coaching, resource development and consultancy practices that adequately prepares young people for independent survival as adults. Developing Xcellence in Youth achieves this through a variety of specialist concepts, experiential learning and a vast background of academic, professional and personal achievements that enable the coach to lead by example thereby providing significant and influential adult role modelling.
Developing Xcellence in Youth-TRC maintains extremely high standards and expectations from all young people who we work with and by ‘teaching what we are,’ we strive to promote and maintain the desire in young people to continue to learn and be active participants in their own personal development. We will teach young people how to think independently and to develop resiliency when faced with challenge, frustration, failure and disappointment. Our courses will help participants to develop greater self-understanding allowing them to make informed life decisions that will enable them to live a meaningful and purposeful life. Participants are encouraged to take greater ownership of their lives as they transition from dependence, independence through to interdependence.
At Developing Xcellence in Youth, all of the work we do is underpinned by the development of the practices of Healthy ‘Authentic’ Self-Esteem, the foundation of effective human functioning. What we are ultimately hoping young people will aspire to can be best summed up as follows:
“The disposition to experience oneself as competent to cope with the basic challenges of life and as being worthy and deserving of happiness, success, love, achievement & respect.” - Dr Nathaniel Brandon

Each individual support session lasts for 1 hour and can range in duration from six to ten sessions as required, other personal development opportunities can range from 3 hours or more as required. In terms of content, each session allows the young person to explore the context and circumstances of the particular situation or difficulty. Young people will complete a personality and self-esteem profile designed to allow greater self-understanding of how they are dealing with the basic challenges of life.
