Interview by Lon Woodbury

Ken Rabow, a life success coach in Toronto, Canada, was interviewed by Lon Woodbury, host of L.A. Talk Radio and creator of strugglingteens.com, regarding his work in empowering success for young adults.

Regarding Ken Rabow

Besides his life coaching work, Rabow is author of "The Slackers Guide to Success," which is available on Amazon.com. After having worked with struggling teens and young adults since 2001, Rabow has created a detailed system in his "The Slackers Guide to Success." His system involves 3 stages and 13 steps for any therapist or life coach to work with young people.

Enabling Success for Young Adults

Throughout the discussion, Rabow talked about why a lot of young people self-sabotage every element of their possible future. Young adults are up against a distinct difficulty in today's modern-day society-- the regulations of success that worked in the past don't do the job anymore. There is no script on how to manage the various social crises experienced by young people-- consisting of fitting into a difficult educational system or finding paid work in a recessionary economic climate.

Subsequently, a new phenomenon has actually come up for Gen Y people-- winning at losing. Feeling stuck, young people act out by not competing in class courses, not studying, staying up late into the night, resting up most of the day and losing out on attending classes in their educational institution. Another big element is obsessive video gaming or flagrant drug abuse as a means to steer clear of emotional discomfort. Also those that are gifted could be off track.

Parents are often overwhelmed with this disengagement from participating in societal values and many are at their wits end trying to figure out how to make their child grow up and take responsibility.

Rabow provides parents and their stressed teenagers or young people a different method to get back on track when conventional therapeutic methods fail. He has established a special process, learned through trial and error, for empowering success for young people. He teaches young people how to regain self-belief and gather confidence-building wins in life.

When new clients come to see him, Rabow begins the process of building a relationship by seeking the answer to three simple questions:

1. Are you pleased with exactly how events are going in your life?

Second: Do you see your current means of being as a viable method?

3. If you could be doing everything you want with your life, exactly what interests would you desire to pursue?

He then works with a young person to put together a daily routine based on the client's interests. His book and his practice outline steps for empowering success for young adults, placing an emphasis on raising self-esteem and using a gradual process of small victories to gain self-confidence in the ability to do things competently.
