10 Easy Keys Masterclass

The ’10 Easy Keys’ masterclass is a 6-hour, six 1-hour sessions, series focusing on unlocking kids’ passion and purpose through guiding their parents or caregivers on how to use life coaching strategies with the children and young adults. These interactive, live coach-led sessions using Zoom, are held weekly at a consistent time. Each week’s homework involves applying two ‘Keys’ with your young people, building on previously covered ‘Keys.’ Designed to accommodate busy schedules, these sessions are concise yet impactful, providing valuable insights and practical applications.

 In the ’10 Easy Keys’ masterclass, you’ll learn effective mentoring strategies that focus on fostering self-awareness in young people and supporting their career and life choices.

Mentoring a child using life-coaching techniques learned in this masterclass, such as powerful questioning and observation skills, is vital for their holistic development. It helps adults understand and nurture a youth’s interests, opening doors for activities that align with their observed strengths and passions. This approach, combined with the unwavering support and guidance of a caring adult, shapes a child’s character, builds resilience, and sets a foundation for a fulfilling adulthood.

The outcomes of our masterclasses are solidly aligned with the problem and call to action in this timely article.

Your Key Your Door Masterclasses

This masterclass is a 9-hour program consisting of 9 sessions. Each session is conducted in a small-group format, limited to 12 young adults, allowing ample time for interaction with the instructor and fellow students. The Zoom sessions are scheduled to take place once a week, at the same time every week. As part of the weekly commitment, students will complete chapter-related questions as homework between sessions.

Two exciting masterclasses are available for teens, and students can choose to take them in any order. Both masterclasses offer valuable insights and tools for teens to navigate their journey to a successful and purposeful future. Below are summaries of the two masterclass tracks:


Goals-focused-  ‘Your Key Your Door’: In this masterclass, students will understand their Life Purpose and how to live it; set clear visions and goals for the future; learn valuable skills of using personal keys of success and measuring their well-being.
Career-choice Focused- ‘Your Key Your Door’:  In this masterclass students will develop skills such as listening techniques, career readiness by completing career triangles that target skills, strengths and values of the teen, strengthen career awareness through job-shadow conversations, and stay focused on their keys-to-success and intentions for a fulfilling life.

The sessions are not recorded unless the instructor is contacted by the sponsor at least 20 min before the session begins. This recording is only accessible until the next session to protect group confidentiality. Regular attendance is highly encouraged to gain the full benefits of the program, as it can significantly impact the student’s life and relationships.  Students must attend 8 sessions to receive a certificate.

People whose children have experienced these classes tell us that it is the most important class their child has ever taken. This class has the power to change your child’s life! We simply can not emphasize enough that attendance is of utmost importance for your child to receive the full benefit of what we have to offer.

Your child is unique and deserves a program designed to enhance their specific growth path. We recognize the individuality of each young person and tailor our masterclass to meet their specific needs and aspirations.


Satisfaction comes from following a life purpose that fits. For young adults, that journey is often unclear or obscured by the many voices in the contemporary world.
So, we use powerful questions to help your teen look inside themselves to find out who they are, discover their purpose, and ways they can contribute uniquely to the world. Our well-trained instructors work collaboratively with your teen, guiding them through a discovery process that enables them to live their best life.


Accountability is another key aspect of what we offer, motivating your teen to work through this self-discovery during class and the weeks between sessions and beyond, connecting them with their internal motivation for life-long success.

We value confidentiality in our classes. Students are encouraged to share what they learn about themselves in the masterclasses with family and friends, but information shared by any student in session is confidential and must not be shared with others outside the group in the masterclass without written permission. Students must sign a confidentiality agreement before the first session and this important factor will be clearly explained. If this agreement is found to be violated, the student will be excused from the following sessions without a refund or certificate of completion.

Our instructors only initiate communication when required by mandatory reporting. We welcome parents or sponsors feedback via email to support your child’s journey during the masterclasses progress over the nine weeks! We want to see what you do from the outside and testimonies along the way are always welcome.

We offer an optional book and webinar for parents (10 Easy Keys) to learn how to support their student’s progress. While not mandatory, it’s encouraged as it provides valuable parenting tools and strengthens the parent-child relationship. We also offer one-to-one coaching with certified coach, Teri Haggerty, for parents, mentors or individual coaching for young adults.

In these two webinars young people discover who they are, and how to live their best life, which includes building inter-relationships with their parents and childcare mentors. Empower your family’s journey with these webinars, designed to foster mutual growth and understanding,  also addressing the critical challenges of parent and teen mental health as highlighted in Time’s insightful article.
