pivot | life coaching
Your PIVOT coaching session aided by Nate Cooke helps you achieve deep change, in a safe and supportive environment that allows you to access your inner resources, set goals & achieve them, to see clearly what you want, change self-sabotaging behaviours, unleash your inner energy and drive, take action and get the results you want…
A client who comes for a private PIVOT coaching session generally has a specific thing in mind.
This is an interactive, honest and transparent process where we help you define the specific thing you want to achieve and take the ACTION required to achieve your goal. We work with clients who suffer from: a lack of direction, decision making, stress, anxiety, bullying, anger, self-image, self-identity, communication, resilience, social engagement, relationships, limiting beliefs, bad habits, social media obsession, career goals, financial matters, business development or – and this is common – an uneasy feeling that “life has drifted off course” or “there must be something better than this”.

RITES OF PASSAGE | Boys
With over 25 years of experience working with children and parents we have learned that when children only accept comfortable situations; they find themselves limited in confidence, courage, and flexibility. Our Rite of Passage (ROP) pathways allow boys to deeply re-connect with themselves, learn to communicate affectively, understand the importance of leverage, define their values and beliefs, build a strong foundation, strengthen their relationships, build a resilient mindset, set incredibly powerful goals and take action to move their lives in a direction towards their most desired outcome in their personal life and at school.
The actual presentation of a ROP gives boys the opportunity to grow in ways he never would in this comfort zone. Through new experience and mentoring accountability the boys who attend one or all of our programs are pushed into positions to grow in life and when boys learn to push themselves to grow, they begin to accumulate understanding of what it takes to be a productive, independent and resiliant man.
Our ROP pathways are tailored for boys (aged 12-17years) that appear to be or are suffering from a lack of direction, positive role models, decision-making, stress, anxiety, bullying, anger, self-image, self-identity, communication, resilience, social engagement, relationships, parenting conflict, limiting beliefs, bad habits and sabotaging their own success, social media obsession.
Boys who attend one or all of our rites of passage pathways will define what they want…why they want it…and how to take action to achieve it!
