Welcome to Coaching Children for
Significance and Success (CCSS)
My name is Lisa Phillips. But to children, they know me as Coach Lisa. (You can use either name).
I am a certified children’s coach through the Adventures in Wisdom Life Coaching Program for Kids™. I am also a mentor and an advocate for helping children succeed in the development of powerful mindset skills to position your children for success, not only in school, but also for life.
Why Am I a Children’s Coach?
I started college with a dream of being a teacher. But when I reached the half-way point of the program, I succumbed to a false core belief – fear of failure. It had been deep inside me for many years, but I lacked the self-confidence to overcome it. I let a fear of failure derail me from my dream of becoming an elementary school teacher, a subject I discuss in my upcoming book, Parents Who Reject, my memoir due out soon. Ever since, I’ve had an interest in helping children overcome self-confidence and self-esteem issues. I believe God allowed that defeat not to ruin or to hurt me, but to learn and grow from it, then use it for a higher purpose. The mindset I had was an incorrect one; it didn’t lead me to reaching my dream. Thankfully, God gave me a new perspective and a new dream.
Every day your kids are developing certain core beliefs about themselves, too. But unlike back in the 1980’s, kids don’t have to live defeated or discouraged. I’d like to be your child’s coach to bust through false core beliefs like limited thinking, certain fears, build resilience, self-confidence and sound self-esteem. There are 27 skills to choose from!
I Want to Help Your Child Find Significance in the Following Ways.
- To believe what’s possible for them
- Become responsible to themselves and others
- Become a person of integrity
- To make good decisions
- Build Self-Esteem and Self-Confidence
- To set attainable goals
- To inspire them with the skills to overcome obstacles, and more
I have the following certificates of study through AACC (American Association of Christian Counselors Foundation) and Light University.

All children are worthy. They are worthy in that they have a God-given sense of self, which includes their feelings, emotions, fears, goals and dreams. If every child has their parent or guardian’s support, are empowered, inspired, and supported, children will find happiness, contentment, and live a life of significance.
