Purpose and Outcomes
The aim of our Life On Purpose training in Oklahoma is to help people live empowered, fulfilling and purposeful lives.
This is accomplished with the help of interactive experiential learning and teaching modules. These modules are used to build self-esteem, hope, trust, vision, consciousness and self-awareness.

Overview
Coaching Kids, Inc. was created as a charitable non-profit organization in 2001. It uses the power of life coaching skills to empower youth, their parents and those that work with youth to discover young people’s unique potential. The program helps create resilient kids, nurturing families, stronger communities and a more humane world. Since our initial charter and our 501-C-3 application we have worked in prisons, schools, churches, and other non-profit, government, and for profit organizations.
Life Coaching
Coaching is about learning how to live a more empowered, more aware, more self-responsible life at choice, and in alignment with our personal core values. This program is based on the foundation of the Co-Active Coaching curriculum, taught around the world by the Coaches Training Institute (CTI) www.thecoaches.com.
Through experiential training, coaches guide participants as they learn improved emotional intelligence skills. The coach training process helps participants to really look at where they are, where they want to be and to decide what they need to do to get from here to there. It has them explore who they are and what needs to change in order for them to progress in a way that is meaningful to them while on their life path.
