How can I integrate Power Skills courses into my coaching practice?

Power Skills courses are designed to seamlessly integrate into your coaching programs as foundational content that you build upon with your coaching expertise. Each course is structured in micro-lessons that can be paired with coaching sessions to help young people apply the concepts to their unique goals and circumstances.

The Model:

• Week 1–8: Client completes one to two micro-lessons per week
• Weekly coaching session: You facilitate application through 1:1 coaching and/or group workshops
• Your role: Guide reflection, skill-building practice, and personalized goal application

This structure addresses a common challenge: you’re the expert in the coaching process, not necessarily in adolescent psychology, neuroscience, or every specialized content area. Now you can leverage evidence-based content while focusing your energy where it matters most, the youth-facing interactions.

Can I customize the program length or structure?

Yes! The courses are self-paced, so you can decide how to integrate lessons into your coaching program.

Pace Adjustment Examples:

• Accelerated (4–8 weeks): Combine modules or have clients complete 2 or more micro-lessons per week
• You get more pacing flexibility by purchasing a group license. (See that option below)

Format Variations:

• Weekly 1:1 sessions throughout
• Bi-weekly group workshops with optional 1:1 add-ons
• Monthly intensive group sessions with individual check-ins between
• Self-paced course access with on-demand coaching support

Multi-Course Programs: Create comprehensive 6-month or year-long programs by sequencing multiple Power Skills courses:

• Semester 1: Mental Fitness + Academic Resilience
• Semester 2: Workforce Readiness + Strong Relationships (Coming Soon)

Your Brand, Your Structure: You design the coaching program that fits your practice model. Power Skills provides the content foundation you build upon.

How does pricing work? Can I mark up the courses?

Yes — and there are several models to choose from depending on how your practice is structured.

Option 1: Per-Client Enrollment (No License Required)

Purchase course access for your client and bundle it into your coaching package price. You sign them up directly through YCI.

Example: “$1,200 for an 8-week coaching program including Power Skills course access and weekly 1:1 sessions.”

Option 2: Course + Coaching Separate

Your client purchases the course directly from YCI for $150. You charge separately for your coaching sessions.

Example: “$150 for Power Skills course + $125/session for coaching.”

Option 3: Group Program Model

Purchase course access for a cohort and charge a per-person group program fee.

Example: “8-week group coaching program: $497 includes course access and weekly group sessions.”

What is the YCI Coach License, and is it right for me?

If you’re a certified YCI coach who regularly integrates Power Skills into your programs, an annual license may be significantly more cost-effective than purchasing per-client access — and gives you more flexibility in how you deliver and price your programs.

There are two license types:

Hosted License — on YCI’s platform Your clients access the course through YCI’s TalentLMS platform, fully managed on our end. No LMS setup, no technical overhead. Choose from three seat tiers based on how many clients you serve annually:

• Starter — $697/year for up to 5 student seats
• Growth — $1,197/year for up to 15 student seats
• Practice — $1,997/year for up to 35 student seats

This option is best for coaches with under 25 clients per year who don’t already run their own learning management system. A coach with 15 students annually actually saves over $200 per year compared to setting up and maintaining their own LMS — with none of the setup work.

SCORM Download License — on your own platform If you already run your own LMS (TalentLMS, Canvas, LearnDash, or similar), you can download the Power Skills SCORM package and host it directly on your platform for an unlimited number of students.

• SCORM License — $597/year, unlimited students

This option is best for coaches with 25+ students per year or those who want full control over their platform and client experience.

All licenses require YCI coach certification and renew annually. Need more seats mid-year? Additional students beyond your hosted tier are billed at $150 per student — no hard cutoffs, your program keeps running.

To explore or request an invoice for licensing, contact leah@youthcoachinginstitute.com. If you’ve already decided on a licensing tier, just include that information in your email. 

Value-Add Strategy

Clients see the comprehensive nature of your program — combining well-being science, skills training, and personalized coaching — and you differentiate from coaches who offer conversation-based sessions alone. Whether you’re enrolling one client at a time or running a year-round group practice, there’s a Power Skills model built for where you are right now.

Equip Your Teen or Young Adult for Real-World Success

You’ve invested in your child’s education, now give them the life skills that actually predict success. Power Skills courses teach the stress management, learning strategies, professional competencies, and relationship skills that school doesn’t cover but life requires.

Benefits for Your Teen or Young Adult:

• Build resilience to handle academic pressure, social challenges, and life transitions with confidence
• Improve academic performance through proven study strategies and stress management techniques
• Gain career readiness with professional skills employers actually want: communication, collaboration, financial literacy, and workplace navigation
• Develop emotional intelligence for healthier relationships with family, friends, and future colleagues
• Prevent burnout by learning sustainable approaches to work, school, and well-being
• Prepare for independence with practical life skills like budgeting, professional communication, and self-advocacy

Why Power Skills Training Works:

• Evidence-based curriculum developed by a PhD psychologist, not generic advice or trends
• Self-paced online format fits busy schedules around school, work, sports, and activities
• Immediately applicable tools your teen can use right away in their daily life
• Addresses real gaps in traditional education that leave young people unprepared for college, careers, and adulthood

Smart Investment: For less than the cost of a few tutoring sessions, your teen gains comprehensive skills that serve them for life, not just one test or one class. These are the competencies that predict long-term success, well-being, and adaptability in an ever-changing world.

Your institution teaches content knowledge, but students need more to succeed. Power Skills courses provide evidence-based training in resilience, learning strategies, professional skills, and mental fitness, the competencies that predict retention, graduation, and career readiness.

Benefits:

• Improve retention & graduation rates by equipping students with stress management and resilience skills
• Boost academic performance through proven learning strategies and self-regulation techniques
• Prepare career-ready graduates who meet employer expectations for professional skills
• Scale support efficiently without adding permanent staff, reach all students with turnkey curriculum
• Demonstrate commitment to whole-student development for accreditors and stakeholders

Flexible Implementation: Integrate into your LMS as credit courses, first-year experience programs, or co-curricular requirements, or provide access through our platform.

Entry-level employees ages 18-25 often arrive with enthusiasm but lack the professional skills, financial literacy, and workplace competencies needed to thrive. Power Skills courses transform inexperienced workers into confident, capable contributors while demonstrating your investment in their development.

Reduces Turnover & Builds Loyalty:

• Young employees stay when they feel supported and equipped for success, not frustrated and overwhelmed
• Training in professionalism, communication, and workplace navigation reduces early-exit frustration
• Financial literacy helps employees manage entry-level salaries and reduce financial stress that drives job-hopping
• Work engagement and well-being modules prevent burnout and build long-term resilience

Improves Performance & Productivity:

• Professional communication training reduces misunderstandings and improves team collaboration
• Time management and execution skills help young workers meet deadlines and quality standards
• Initiative and self-direction training decreases need for constant supervision
• Digital citizenship and AI collaboration skills prepare workers for modern workplace demands
