WHAT IS PASSION COACHING?
Passion Coaching LLC is a teen life coaching service that has translated the science of motivation (intrinsic and extrisnic) into teen life coaching services for teens and youth-serving professionals.
In The Oxford Handbook of Human Motivation, Edward L. Deci, one of the world's leading researchers on motivation, defines intrinsic motivation as:
The inherent propensity to:
(1) ENGAGE IN ONE’S INTERESTS (Motivations)
(2) EXERCISE ONE’S CAPACITIES (Abilities)
(3) SEEK OUT AND MASTER OPTIMAL CHALLENGES (GOALS)
OUR COACHING MODEL
The Passion Coaching Model (AKA, MAG Model) guides teens in becoming self-aware of their full range of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. We call this type of developmental progress "Motivational Awareness" and it gives teens more confidence in their motivations, more confidence in their abiltities, and more confidence in setting goals that build on their motivations and abilities.
"Passion Coaching helped me realize that I didn't know what I wanted, and how to think about what I want."

"One particularly striking example comes from our freshman mentor, Mr. S. After just two months of working with Passion Coaching, he shared that their guidance has given him a toolkit to make his daily 60-minute mentor sessions with 20 freshmen both sustainable and rewarding. This is a remarkable shift from the burnout he had reported before. Similarly, his mentees have become more vocal about their aspirations. One student, who had previously disengaged from classes, chose to reengage with Algebra 1 after connecting the dots between their dream of starting a business and the math skills they needed to succeed."
Lucas Smith, 9th Grade Math Teacher & 9th Grade Mentor, Summit Prep Charter High School
"When my mentees met Paul and Mariamne, they were greeted with a personalized and compassionate structure that my mentees were not accustomed to and were challenged to think about their own motivations. After only four short days with Paul and Mariamne, I noticed an immediate change in all of my mentees demeanor; this made me invite Paul and Mariamne into my mentor class to continue working with my mentees."
