About Me

I am Lonna, I help parents and youth serving professionals discover how they miss opportunities to connect and communicate with the adolescents in their lives. This missed opportunity causes them to have reactions they regret to the challenges that adolescents bring them, rather than respond in a way that deepens trust. I coach using the enneagram to close that gap.
You have a tween, teen or young adult you are worried about – they are taking big risks that jeopardize their future, or perhaps they are loud, angry, dramatic everything met with anger, or maybe the scariest of all they have gone silent and you have no idea why and they refuse to talk to you long enough to find any clues. With each of these adolescents you care deeply, and are desperately trying to reach them but the harder you try the mores shutdown they become. I have seen this situation too often – the adult whose worry overwhelms the teen or who immediately starts correcting the behavior without finding out why it occurred, or is not able to handle the hard truth the young person is sharing wanting instead to immediately put a positive twist on it. This is why I created my Pause, Connect, Open, Secure (P-C-O-S) framework. Four steps, each time that changes this arc within 6 weeks.
If you are a parent or a youth-serving professional who wants to improve your connection with the tweens, teens & young adults in your life know that you do not have to change them. The P-C-O-S method changes how you respond which in turn makes you an adult that young people trust and return to. Book a discovery call and let the transformation begin.
