Your Teen Is Doing Everything Right.
Is It Enough?
Good grades. Activities. Maybe a college counselor already in place. On paper, everything looks fine.
But you're not just wondering whether your teen will get into college.
You're wondering if they're building the confidence, initiative, and ownership that will actually carry them into life and the workforce.
Maybe they have an idea they haven't done anything with.
Maybe they're succeeding at things that were handed to them, but haven't found something that's truly theirs.
Or maybe you just know they're capable of more — and you're looking for someone who can bring that out of them.
That’s where WIT Coaching starts.
Not with a curriculum. With your teen.
So They Can Say, "I Did This."
WIT isn't designed to replace your teen's teachers, tutors, coaches, or college counselor. A counselor can help your teen tell the story of what they created and accomplished at WIT.
Your teen needs to hear "I believe you can do this" from someone who isn't obligated to say it. WIT gives them a mentor who expects follow-through, helps them work through obstacles, and steps back enough that they have to own the outcome. Because eventually, they need to be able to say, "I did this" — not because a parent told them to, not because it was assigned, but because they decided something mattered enough to see it through.
WIT PROCESS
1. DISCOVER — Find what's worth pursuing. Your teen gets clear on the idea, problem, or interest they want to take further.
2. DEVELOP — Turn it into something real. They make decisions, test ideas, solve problems, and learn to keep moving when the first plan doesn't work.
3. LAUNCH — Put it into the world. They move beyond planning into action — launching, publishing, presenting, selling, or sharing what they built.
“Working with Sarah changed my daughter’s life. Yes, she developed and launched a business, but the confidence she built was the best outcome of the entire experience.”

One Goal.
Two Ways To Be Coached.
Both paths lead to the same place — real confidence, real-world skills, and a teen who can finally say, "I did this."
WIT Small Group Coaching — $4,750
A five-month virtual coaching experience for teens who want mentorship, accountability, and the energy of building alongside other motivated teens. Enrollment is rolling — apply anytime, and your five months begin the month you join. Includes live sessions twice a month, guest speakers, individual onboarding to help your teen clarify their idea from day one, strategy and feedback, a community of teens building alongside them, and access to the WIT community.
WIT 1:1 Coaching — $10,500
WIT's most personalized way to build — your teen works individually with WIT Founder Sarah Hernholm, with no predetermined curriculum. Virtual, six weeks to six months, enrollment based on availability. Includes personalized coaching scheduled around their availability, a customized roadmap, strategy, and mentorship, and relevant introductions to WIT's network. All 1:1 clients have access to the WIT community.
No two teens build the same thing.
WIT teens have built businesses, nonprofits, products and apps, community initiatives, podcasts, and research projects.
What they build is personal. The impact they make is measurable.

Is WIT Coaching Right For Your Teen?
WIT Coaching is a strong fit for a teen who:
✓ Has an idea but needs help turning it into action
✓ Has lots of interests and potential but hasn't found the thing that feels truly theirs
✓ Has already started something and needs strategy, mentorship, or accountability to take it further
✓ Would benefit from having a trusted adult outside the family challenge and support them
✓ Wants real-world experience beyond what they're getting in school
✓ Is willing to take ownership and actually do the work
Probably isn't the right fit if your teen is looking for another passive class, a résumé line, or someone else to do the work for them.

Anytime — WIT Small Group Coaching runs on rolling enrollment, so your teen's five months begin the month they join, not on a fixed calendar.

Doing well in school and being prepared for the real world aren't always the same thing. WIT gives teens opportunities to make decisions, solve real problems, communicate ideas, take initiative, adapt, and follow through by building something that matters to them.
School teaches a specific curriculum that is designed for all students. WIT creates personalized programming that is designed for your teen.
-
WIT isn't college admissions consulting, and it doesn't replace your teen's college counselor.
A college counselor can help your teen communicate the story of what they've accomplished.
WIT helps your teen create experiences that turn out to be a story worth sharing.
-
That's okay. Some teens arrive with a specific business, nonprofit, initiative, or project already underway. Others know they're interested in doing something more but haven't figured out what that is yet.
Identifying what's worth pursuing can be part of the Coaching process.
-
No. WIT Bootcamp can be a natural starting point, and some teens move directly from Bootcamp into Coaching to continue developing what they started.
Other teens begin with Coaching because they're ready for longer-term or more personalized support.
-
Both experiences help teens identify, develop, and launch something meaningful of their own.
Small Group Coaching is a five-month experience where teens build their individual projects alongside a small group of motivated peers.
1:1 Coaching is completely personalized around your teen's goals, project, schedule, and timeline and can be completed over approximately six weeks to six months.
-
If your teen would benefit from peer accountability, community, and building alongside other motivated teens, Small Group Coaching may be the better fit. Families can apply directly for an upcoming cohort.
If your teen needs highly personalized strategy, scheduling, accountability, or support around a specific goal, start by booking a call to discuss 1:1 Coaching.
-
Small Group sessions are recorded. If your teen needs to miss a live session, they'll be able to watch the recording and stay current with the program.
-
Small Group Coaching is $4,750 for the five-month program.
1:1 Coaching is $10,500 for the personalized coaching engagement.
Tuition is paid in full upon acceptance.
Is financial aid available?
Financial aid is available by application for Small Group Coaching.
Financial aid is not available for 1:1 Coaching.
What is the refund policy?
All WIT Coaching tuition is non-refundable.
-
The goal isn't for your teen to become dependent on a coach. It's for them to leave with something they've moved forward, stronger real-world skills, and greater confidence in their ability to take ownership of what comes next.
For teens who have already built something substantial and are ready to focus on visibility, positioning, and bigger opportunities, WIT Amplify may be the next stage.
