MEET OUR COACHING TEAM
A team-based approach, led by KurtiS, TO SERVE AS MANY AS POSSIBLE
When you work with us, you’re not just hiring a single coach — you’re joining a founder-led coaching program designed to help young adults gain clarity, confidence, and momentum in this season of life.
Kurtis Vanderpool founded this practice after years of working with college students and young adults who felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps. As the Founder and Lead Coach, Kurtis oversees the coaching framework, trains every coach on the team, and stays involved to make sure each client is getting the support they need.
To provide consistent availability, personalized support, and the best possible fit, clients are matched with the coach who best aligns with their goals, personality, and needs. This team-based model allows students to move forward without waiting for limited calendar openings — while still benefiting from Kurtis’s leadership and oversight.
How Coach Matching Works
We don’t assign coaches randomly.
Every client is thoughtfully paired with the coach who will help them make the most progress based on:
- What they’re working through
- Their personality and communication style
- Their schedule and availability
- The type of support that helps them grow best
Kurtis remains involved behind the scenes, reviewing progress and stepping in when needed, so you’re never navigating things alone.
And if something doesn’t feel like the right fit? We adjust. The goal is progress — not forcing a match.
Kurtis Vanderpool
Founder and Lead Coach
I’ve spent over 15 years helping young adults find clarity, confidence, and peace with where they are in life. During that time, I’ve worked in non-profits, businesses, and higher education—including five years as an instructor and university life coach helping students adjust to college life, discover their strengths, and find purpose.
I’m a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation, a Gallup Strengths-Certified Coach, and a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A) in Texas. My background blends the best of both worlds—coaching for motivation and action, and counseling-level insight into mindset and emotional health.
Kurtis works with young adults who feel pressure to have life figured out — and helps them build confidence, direction, and ownership one step at a time.
With over 15 years of experience supporting students and young adults, Kurtis brings a calm, grounded approach that blends structure, encouragement, and real-life perspective. He built this coaching program around one core belief: small, consistent wins create real change.
In his role as Lead Coach, Kurtis:
- Sets the overall coaching framework
- Trains and mentors each coach on the team
- Oversees client progress
- Steps in strategically when needed
While Kurtis doesn’t take on unlimited 1-on-1 clients, his leadership and approach shape every coaching relationship within the program.
