Evolution Mentoring gives teens a serious advantage in life
What they learn here generates legitimate results. It grows teens into far more secure, mature, thriving young adults who are ready not just to face life’s challenges, but to do so boldly and successfully. All learning and maturing must happen at the right time and pace, which is why Evolution Mentoring is about evolution – not about problem solving. Some people evolve more quickly than others, yet consistently the evidence is that this approach truly works.
Applying what I teach teens:
They make more mature decisions
They stay composed under pressure
They manage stress without needing drugs
They function far more autonomously
They stay positively oriented even when surrounded by negativity
They truly learn and integrate the lessons contained in their mistakes
They drink and smoke less, and exercise more
They really connect, not just “hook-up”
They are more reliable
They build Real Friendships (few kids do now)
They are more creative
They get opportunities that are often denied to others
They succeed in competitive careers
They stand out from the crowd for positive reasons
They are more comfortable in their own skin, and know who they are
They live a life that balances practicality and idealism
They don’t succumb to the untrustworthy ones who try and manipulate them
They take value from criticism without taking it personally
They learn to think far more critically and intelligently
They truly learn and integrate the lessons contained in their mistakes
“Jeff is the only adult I’ve met in my life who knows how to talk about complex real life ideas and issues with people my age, and make it make sense in a way that we can go out and do it ourselves.”

“So many teen-girl insecurities that I had before I met Jeff, no longer bother me. They still bother most of my peers though just the same now as they did when we were in Middle School. Having him to turn to through these years has made an enormous difference in my life.”
