More disengaged in your academics than you'd like to admit?
Having a tough time pursuing activities with all your heart and going outside your comfort zone?
Struggling to think about the future?
Defensive with those that just want to help?
Not knowing and struggle is part of life but we can help.
My name is Ryan Grady and I have been the college student that struggled to identify an engaging major. I have also been the lost professional that felt stuck well into my late 20's. If you too are feeling a little lost, I want to assure you that you are not alone:
My mission is to help anxious and overwhelmed young people confidently identify a major, find career, and develop a life plan that engages them in the present and makes them excited for their future. Here are four options I have developed to serve young adults and help them move forward.
Master's in Education Leadership
Certified Professional Coach
Over 6,000 hours coaching students
An Insight Driven Energy Leadership Index Assessment and Debrief
Students receive access to 3 months of group coaching where clients learn from Ryan each week and engage with other young people sharing similar experiences
Clients will receive a powerful 3 month 1:1 coaching program, where Ryan will give his client his total attention to make sure their needs are met.
Clients will receive a powerful 3 month "all in" program, where Ryan will give his client his total attention to make sure their needs are met.
The reflection journal and coaching services Ryan provides will help clients identify and find confidence in their strengths, interests, personality, and mission. We will identify the blocks, environments, and limiting beliefs that may be getting in the way of them moving forward.
Once clients identify their gifts and vision for the life they want, Ryan will support them in identifying the major and career that best aligns. It is important that we work to ensure that the student's future is fully explored and will bring them the personal and financial freedom that they want.
Ryan is committed to helping his clients find the "why" that fuels them as they move along the path ahead. He wants his clients to understand what is most important for them. Why do they want to pursue this major and career? Understanding answers to questions like this will help them move through potential challenges ahead.
A "dream" or "vision" is only useful if our clients are moving toward it and it is driving them to be more engaged and connected in their every day life. Ryan is commited to helping clients create a thorough plan that makes them confident in themselves and their future. This means identifying the network and team that will help clients move forward and understand the hidden rules within their chosen field. Clients will create a strategy and goals that will help them make their career goals a reality. This plan that students create will allow them to be resilient, engaged, courageous, and confident in pursuit of their dream.

"Ryan has always pushed me out of my comfort zone. He would make me think and reflect on things that I would have never thought about before. During hard times, he would stand beside me and make sure that I was getting through them. Every call, he reminds me of who I am and what I stand for."
"There is honestly no way to explain how far the support from [Ryan] gets me. It is invaluable and has gotten me through tough times. He encourages me to look at the bigger picture and to look at life from various perspectives. He also encourages me to not be narrow-minded and always be optimistic with my present situation."
"[Ryan] is one of the most caring, compassionate, and hardworking individuals out there, and therefore a truly amazing role model for students. My first year of college was actually very rough, and it took a toll on me both physically and mentally, but [Ryan] has been there to guide me through my anxiety and any challenges I might be facing. He is always ready to share his experiences, wisdom, and any resources that he feels can help his students. The experiences he shared are truly eye-opening and have helped me push myself forward. Not only that, but [Ryan] has also helped me recognize my values as a person and believe in myself. I have never received this kind of support from a mentor, and I have grown so much in this short amount of time. This was truly an invaluable experience for me."
