How Has Life Coaching for Kids Impacted Retirees' Lives?
"The Adventures in Wisdom program has provided me with the ability to live my passion of helping children after retiring as a teacher… AIW has also connected me to a global community of like-minded coaches changing our world one child at a time. Once you start going through the AIW program, you immediately realize how life changing it is; not only for the children, but on a personal level too." — Debra Ann, Retired Teacher and WISDOM Coach®
"Coaching kids is a lot of fun and so rewarding. Using the Adventures in Wisdom system, I've helped so many kids grow, and I've grown with them. I love the stories and activities because they help children understand concepts that are often hard to grasp. When I coach, children feel safe talking with me. I get to choose how many clients I take on and I can coach online or in person. And the added income helps too!" — Linda, Retired Teacher, Mother and Grandmother, WISDOM Coach®
