Before they start believing the wrong story
We’ve all seen it—or lived it ourselves:
The student who stopped liking math after one tough grade.
The creative kid who dropped art when a well-meaning adult said, “There’s no career in that.”
The stories we tell ourselves—especially in adolescence—can shape the road ahead.
That’s why our work with 8th graders focuses on helping them name and claim their natural strengths early, before bias or negative feedback takes root.
In our 90-minute consultation, we help students:
🔍 Uncover what they’re naturally good at
🎯 Start to recognize and articulate their interests
🌱 Begin building a foundation for intentional, aligned decision-making
It’s not about “getting ahead.”
It’s about not losing who they are before they’ve even had the chance to become it.

The Freshman Year Solution for Parents Who Care
Before the cap toss, give them something that lasts.
Freshman year in college is exciting—but let’s be honest, it can also be a pothole-ridden road.
We want to step back and let our kids fly, but we also worry they’ll faceplant into avoidable mistakes—academic missteps, social isolation, missed deadlines.
That’s why we created the Throughline Guidance Concierge Service—a monthly support plan for new college students.
Starting the summer before school begins, our counselors help your student:
✔️ Review class schedules
✔️ Navigate orientation
✔️ Set and follow through on goals
✔️ Access campus resources
✔️ Avoid the dreaded Turkey Day Panic (the time when so many college students want to drop out)
You don’t have to be the reminder, the nudger, or the “Did you email your professor?” parent anymore.

Today’s College Grads Need More Than Smarts to Stand Out
The world our kids are entering? It’s competitive, unpredictable, and full of both opportunity and overwhelm.
They’re not just competing with other talented humans. They’re competing with AI.
If they try to win on intelligence alone, they’ll lose.
Now more than ever, they need to lead with what machines can’t replicate: their creativity, empathy, adaptability, and purpose. That’s where Your Hidden Genius comes in.
My new book (with included talent assessment) helps grads understand what makes them different—and how to use it.
