Interview by Lon Woodbury

Ken Rabow, a life success coach in Toronto, Canada, talked to Lon Woodbury, host of L.A. Talk Radio and creator of strugglingteens.com, about 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

During the interview, Rabow discussed why so many young people self-sabotage every aspect of their potential future. Young adults are up against a unique challenge in today's modern culture-the rules of success that worked in the past no longer work. There is no playbook on how to handle the numerous cultural crises faced by young people-including fitting into a draconian educational system or finding a job in a recessionary economy.

Consequently, a brand-new phenomenon has arisen for Gen Y young adults--succeeding at failing. Feeling stuck, young people sabotage by not competing in class, not going to exams, staying up late at night, sleeping most of the day and missing out on important classes in school. Yet another big factor is obsessive video gaming or partaking in drug abuse as a method to avoid psychological angst. Even those that are gifted may choose to fail in life.

Parents are typically bewildered with this disengagement from participating in social values and many are desperately attempting to find out the best ways to make their kid mature and take responsibility.

Rabow offers Moms and Dads and their distressed teenagers or young people a different means to get back on the right track when standard therapeutic strategies fail. He has actually established a distinct process via experimentation for empowering success for young adults. He educates young people in ways to restore self-belief and collect 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:

First: Are you satisfied with exactly how things are going in your life?

* Do you see your present way of being as a viable long-term strategy?

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

He works with a young person to put together a day-to-day schedule based on their passions. His book and his technique provide action steps for empowering success for young people, putting a focus on increasing self-esteem and using a gradual process of little triumphs to raise self-esteem in their capacity to do stuff competently.
