Connie Allen, aka the Joyous Family Coach. Family Coach/Consultant, Founder, JoyousFamily.com
"My passion is to inspire and guide both young people and the adults who love them to discover, nurture, and express their Inner Brilliance. With an M.A. in psychology and 15 years teaching children of all ages, I have been coaching parents and educators for over 30 years and empowering young people longer than that.
All parents want their children to be happy and live fulfilling lives yet they unknowingly limit their child by focusing on the child's behavior and performance and not on nurturing their natural abilities, talents and brilliance. We need to change the cultural discussion from managing our children’s behavior and achievement to empowering young people to be fully who they are and to trust themselves and their capability.
My best teachers are my cherished son Orion, my two amazing grandchildren Sebastian and Madison, and all the young people who have trusted and guided me along the way.
I offer online programs, training, private coaching and my new "Our Children's Inner Brilliance Community," where parents and anyone who wants to nurture children's Inner Brilliance come together in new and creative ways to support the Inner Brilliance of the children in our lives and in the world."
