I had the pleasure of meeting Kurtis during my exchange semester at Texas Tech, where I tried a life coaching for the first time. To put it simply, it was an incredible experience. Kurtis is a true professional with a ton of experience, and he illustrates his points with great examples. He takes the time to deeply understand the issues and can ask really thoughtful questions. Over the past six months, his coaching sessions have been a life changing experience. Together with Kurits I tackled challenges I faced for a long time, and we've not only identified the root causes but also found solutions. I'm also continuing to work with him even after left Tech. I strongly recommend!!

As my son was approaching his Senior year in HS and feeling self doubt and anxiety about what’s to come next, I was looking for help to direct him to being confident and the best version of himself. I am so thankful we found Kurtis. I could see the growth in his self esteem every week and the confidence he exudes when meeting new people. So excited for his future. If you’re like me and want to give yourself or your child every opportunity to grow, I can’t recommend enough to reaching out to Kurtis for his help and wisdom.

Kurtis has a wealth of experience, especially at a relatively young age. He is able to relate to younger people in a way that helps guide them through the difficulties that life can sometimes throw at them. I have found him to be incredibly honest, trustworthy, and relatable. He is not afraid to say what needs to be said, even if it may be hard to hear. In the complicated world in which we live, most of us (all of us?) could use a consistent voice to help us navigate. Kurtis is one of those voices. I would highly recommend him as a life coach!

Growing Up Is Harder Than People Admit

Depression in college

Young adulthood can feel like a weird mix of freedom, pressure, uncertainty, and “Wait…am I supposed to know what I’m doing?”

For some young adults, the struggle shows up as procrastination, anxiety, loneliness, lack of motivation, poor follow-through, or feeling stuck about school, work, relationships, or the future.

Life coaching gives them a steady place to slow down, sort through what’s going on, build confidence, and start taking ownership of their next steps.

It’s not about having everything figured out. It’s about learning how to move forward with more clarity, support, and direction.

Life coaching for young adults will help you:
  • Work through negative influences.
  • Get clarity on your calling
  • Build healthier relationships
  • Gain confidence in yourself
  • Develop beneficial habits
  • Improve your personal, social, and professional life
  • Gain peace for whatever life brings
  • Trust what the future holds
  • Move forward with your dreams
  • Kick some a** and take some names!

A Founder-Led Coaching Team

When you work with Kurtis Vanderpool Life Coaching, you’re not just booking a random coach from a list. You’re joining a founder-led coaching program built around helping young adults grow with more confidence, direction, and ownership.

Kurtis leads the coaching framework, trains the team, and helps match each client with the coach who best fits their personality, goals, needs, and schedule.

That means your young adult gets personal support from a coach who is a good fit, while still benefiting from the structure, values, and experience behind the whole coaching team.

When you work with Kurtis Vanderpool Life Coaching, you’re not just booking a random coach from a list. You’re joining a founder-led coaching program built around helping young adults grow with more confidence, direction, and ownership.

Kurtis leads the coaching framework, trains the team, and helps match each client with the coach who best fits their personality, goals, needs, and schedule.

That means your young adult gets personal support from a coach who is a good fit, while still benefiting from the structure, values, and experience behind the whole coaching team.

How It Works

1. Book a Free Consultation

We’ll talk through what’s going on, what kind of support would help, and whether coaching is the right fit.

This also helps us understand the young adult’s goals, personality, schedule, and support needs before recommending the next step.

2. Get Matched With the Right Coach

After the consultation, we help match each client with the coach who seems like the best fit for their goals, personality, and needs.

Some clients need more structure and accountability. Others need space to slow down, build confidence, and sort through what’s next.

3. Start Coaching

Clients meet regularly with their coach to work through real-life goals, challenges, decisions, and habits.

Sessions may focus on motivation, time management, confidence, anxiety, school, work, relationships, routines, or figuring out what comes next.

4. Keep Moving Forward

Over time, coaching helps young adults build more ownership, confidence, and direction.

Kurtis stays involved behind the scenes by leading the coaching framework, supporting the coaching team, and helping keep the client experience thoughtful, personal, and consistent.
