Join Jane as she talks to Life Coach Allie Irwin about the work she's doing to
help college students. College is an enormous investment on many levels, and a
big part of the college experience is the relationships developed while there.
Every dynamic, from getting along with roommates, finding a comfortable social
niche and supportive friends, to developing relationships with key professors,
all the way to securing a coveted internship, are all predicated on having a
strong basis of social skills. This is equally true if the student is going away
to school or attending a local community college and living at home. No matter
what, school is a huge investment of time and energy, and to in order to get the
most return on that investment, the student will need social skills. Listen to
hear more about the work Allie is doing to help students make the best of this
experience!

Life  Coach Allie Irwin is a former engineer, who, during her college career, 
uncovered a well-buried truth about academic life: Getting good grades  doesn't
guarantee success. There are multiple other life skills and  traits that are
just as important in creating a joyful, successful life  and career, but they
are rarely mentioned. Allie became fascinated with  communication dynamics when
she finally understood that we need more  life skills than just smarts to
establish a satisfying career and happy  existence. With extensive training in
body language, lie detection, and  various types of personalities, she uses her
expertise in human behavior  to create custom training solutions for young
adults learning how to  navigate the world. Learn more about Allie at:

Following many years of experience both raising her own children  and working
with and learning from adolescents and young adults, Allie  has developed a
special four week course aimed at offering college  students, especially
incoming freshmen, the tools to communicate  clearly, establish routines and
boundaries, and avoid succumbing to peer  pressure as they grow into their
future life.
