New Online Coaching Skills Seminar
In an email interview, Carter shared a few thoughts with Recruitment & Retention in Higher Education on what she asserts is one of the major retention roadblocks students face – a disconnect between themselves and the staff and faculty who work with them.

Reviews: Majoring in the Rest of Your Life
Reviewer: Adeline Azrack, Public Health student/Youth Worker, Stanford University
“Carol Carter’s Majoring in the Rest of Your Life should be on every college student’s required reading list. The tremendous energy and concrete skills that fill the pages of this book promise to alleviate the fears many students have about finding a meaningful career upon graduation. Perhaps more importantly, this book places the college experience in the context of one’s greater educational and professional journey, helping students see the long-term applications of the skills they are learning in the classroom.”
Reviewer: Suzy Kellett, CPCC; mother of 28-year-old quadruplets and Certified Life Coach
“When I faced the daunting task of putting quadruplets into college I knew I could not do it alone. I reached out for any resources that could help me. Carol Carter probably does not know that she became my “literary” support system by helping the kids and I understand what lay ahead and offering tools to optimize the college experience and their years in starter-adulthood.”
Reviewer: Dr. Joe Martin, National Motivational Speaker, Real World University
“Majoring in the Rest of Your Life is your guide to connecting with who you are and what you want in life. In simple, straightforward language, Carol Carter takes the guesswork out of pursuing, reaching and achieving your goals both in and out of college.”
Reviewer: June A. Brown Attorney/Entrepreneur & Professor, Olive Harvey College- City Colleges of Chicago
“Carol Carter has produced a synergistic, reflective, thought-provoking work that is a path to enlightenment for students, parents, educators, and anyone who wants to do more with their life. She shares her journey with us, while teaching us how to experience our own journey. A MUST READ for everyone who wants to succeed, indeed excel, in the real world.”
Reviews: Stop Parenting and Start Coaching
Reviewer: James Malinchak, contributing editor, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul and author of Teenagers’ Tips for Success
Stop Parenting & Start Coaching will take your relationship with your teenager to a higher level. These authors not only understand teens, they have given teens a voice. This book teaches parents how to be more effective by listening with their hearts, not just their ears.
Reviewer: A reader from Sacramento, CA
Sometimes, but not too often, readers are treated to something special that I call “A Lightbulb Book.” This is the kind of book that turns on a mental lightbulb, throwing light on a dark area that has seemed impenetrable. As you read one of these books, you periodically thunk yourself on the forehead and say, “Oh, so that’s how it works!”
For those trying to rear teen-agers, “Stop Parenting and Start Coaching” is just such a book. It offers a novel idea for reaching teen-agers, an approach that makes so much sense that it’s surprising nobody has caught onto it before. The authors offer readers a different kind of tool, one that might just catch teen-agers by surprise and with an open mind. This book would turn parents into coaches, guiding their children toward richer lives without nagging or preaching.
As an added bonus, “Stop Parenting and Start Coaching” is fun to read because the authors have chosen an unorthodox method of storytelling that also never nags or preaches. If you have read the bestselling “Who Moved My Cheese?”–a book that used parable to show business people how to cope with a changing workplace—you will be delighted to see a similar style in presenting big ideas in an engaging way. “Stop Parenting and Start Coaching” is more like reading a good story than a self-help book.
If you are a parent (or grandparent or teacher) who has tried the usual ways of reaching teen-agers, give this a try. It’s less stressful than yelling and more fun than hyperventilating. It might even be more effective. Parents—excuse me, coaches—and teens can both be winners.
Reviewer: A reader from Denver, CO
This book is completely different from any parenting book I have seen before (and I work in publishing!). It’s funny, insightful, and for once truly tries to understand the teenager’s point of view. After all, isn’t one of our teenagers’ biggest problems that we don’t listen?
This is a great investment to help improve your relationship with your child- don’t pass this one by!
