Before you lead others, learn to lead yourself
School. Friends. Family. College. There is a lot of advice about who you should be and what you should do next. This program gives you room to hear your own voice in the middle of it. You will get to know your strengths, work out what matters to you, and practice the skills that make it easier to act on it: speaking up, setting boundaries, and handling the moments when things do not go as planned. You do not need to think of yourself as a leader to join. If you are curious about yourself and want better tools for the pressure you are under, this is for you.
This is a good fit if you:
feel pulled in a lot of directions and want to hear your own voice
are facing big decisions about school, college, activities or friends
want practical tools for stress, setbacks and self-doubt
learn best with a small group of peers and real coaching

Meet Your Coaches Jason and Amity
Amity Tripp, PCC
Leadership and Life Transitions Coach
Leadership and Life Transitions Coach
Amity brings a career as a nonprofit executive and teacher, a practitioner’s curiosity about what drives people, and a whole lot of delight to Burn Bright Rising. She helps teens name the pressure of big expectations, discover their own strengths, and choose their next step.
Jason Parker, PCC
Coach and Facilitator
Jason works with teens and young adults to help them get clear on what they want for themselves now and for their future, create meaningful relationships, and build and reinforce confidence in themselves. With a background in social psychology, brand and creative strategy, and improv comedy, Jason brings a warm and insightful approach in helping teens get curious about how they think, trust their own judgment, and try things out loud.

What parents tell us they want
You can see the pressure your teen is under. This program gives them a place to build their own judgment with coaches who are not their parents, teachers or friends. They practice, in a small group, how to speak up, set limits, handle setbacks and make decisions that fit them.
Small group: 16 students maximum, so every student is known
Live coaching, not a recorded course
A tangible result: a portfolio, an applied project and a certificate
Coaching works alongside school, family and counselors. It is not therapy or a crisis service.
Sharing this with students
Counselors and parent groups are welcome to share this program. We can send you a one-page summary, a short flyer and a link to the free live preview.

Students who feel pulled in a lot of directions and want to hear their own voice: facing decisions about school, college, activities or friends, and wanting practical tools for stress, setbacks and self-doubt. Students we hear from most are student athletes, driven students managing stress, and students with a learning difference who want to build confidence. No one needs to think of themselves as a leader to join.
