Hello! I’m Candice Ricketts, a former college professor, certified life coach, wife, and mom to two teenagers. As a coach, I work with teens and young adults to help them create life balance, be who they want to be, and figure out what they want to do with their lives. The most important thing I do, though, is help them feel more confident in themselves, their futures, and life in general.
Club Educate is a place where teens can come to connect with their passions and other teens that share their interests. It’s a place for them to get inspired, build confidence, relax and have fun with new friends in a safe, non-judgmental, non-competitive atmosphere. Everyone is welcome at Club Educate.
In addition to our clubs, I offer coaching for teens, young adults, and parents/families. Please check out my Facebook page The Confidence Workshop to see some reviews from clients I’ve helped in the past. You may access the Facebook page by clicking on the page by scrolling all the way down.
We look forward to having your teen as our newest member!
