~Share something you are passionate about:
I am extremely passionate about helping teenagers learn that success and happiness are an inside job! Now is the time for them to create their future through confidence, self-love, meaningful goals, resilience, and control of their own definitions of success.
~What are some ways you are helping to bring this forward in the world?
A teen’s experience of life begins with their thoughts and beliefs, which are developing in critical ways that will affect them all their adult lives. Dr RJ’s work is based on shifting the teen’s limiting beliefs and uncontrolled emotions into positive thoughts, feelings, perspectives, and actions.
Besides personal coaching with teens and their parents, Dr RJ hosts a top-rated, national weekly podcast, “A Teen’s Perspective,” where he provides a unique safe space for teens and parents to connect, share, and get professional coaching. His book, How to Train Your Superhero, was a #1 international bestseller.
