WIT Coaching is for the tween or teen who is interested in 1:1 support from either WIT Founder, Sarah Hernholm, or a WIT Coach trained in the WIT principles. Coaching programs provide personalized support, meeting each teen where they are in their business development and leadership journey. Whether they’re launching a business, leading a movement, or preparing for college and beyond, our coaching helps teens build the skills and confidence they need to succeed.
Personalized Mentorship.
Extraordinary Results.
WIT Coaching is our flagship 1:1 coaching experience for teens who are ready to build something meaningful—and want a trusted mentor guiding them every step of the way.
Over approximately six months (with flexibility based on your teen's goals and timeline),
students work directly with WIT Founder Sarah Hernholm to transform ideas into real-world impact
while developing the confidence, leadership, communication, and resilience that will shape their future.
This isn't a class.
It isn't a curriculum.
It's a personalized partnership designed around your teen.
6 Months • 1:1 Coaching • Personalized Experience
Your Teen's Journey Is Different.
No two students come to WIT with the same goals.
Some have an idea but don't know where to begin.
Others already have a business or nonprofit they're ready to grow.
Some want to create a community initiative, build a personal brand, land internships, or prepare for college and beyond.
That's why every coaching experience is completely personalized.
Together, Sarah and your teen create a roadmap based on their unique goals, strengths, interests, and aspirations.
What Your Teen Receives

Your Teen Will Stand Out &
Build Something Unique
Every student's journey is different, but each one leaves with something tangible.
Students have launched:
Businesses
Nonprofits
Community initiatives
Podcasts
Research projects
Products and apps
Personal brands
Social impact campaigns
But the biggest outcome isn't what they build.
It's who they become.
The Transformation
By the end of WIT Coaching, students have done more than complete a project.
They've learned how to:
Lead with confidence
Communicate ideas effectively
Solve real problems
Take initiative
Build resilience
Create opportunities instead of waiting for them
These are the skills that prepare them not just for college—but for life.
