Mandi is from Zimbabwe and home educated her 3 young adult sons, two of which had learning challenges. Children learn best through multisensory, hands-on experiences as they delight in their learning through “real life” connections that build confidence and life skills. As a certified academic life coach, career coach and parent coach, Mandi created coach programs to support (tw)teens in healthy mindsets towards resilient confidence and healthy independence, so they make better choices and build strategies to manage their lives responsibly. Mandi is a speaker at educational conferences & summits, encouraging parents how to build self-directed learners who are strong in their faith, lead with confidence and relationship. Mandi partners with parents in “The Coach Approach,”- shifting from boss-manager-parent to curious-coach-parent – for more connection and relationship. The Home Harmony Academy provides parents with coach strategies on how to guide and equip their family in making healthier life choices, encouraging respectful responses, building better time management and focus so children manage their lives confidently with accountability as they work together to honor God. When Mandi is not coaching, she is reading, studying her Bible, walking in the mountains, road tripping, or soaking up the sun. Being outdoors brings a special calm and peace and a reminder of God`s goodness and provision having lived in Africa (Zimbabwe) and experienced many life changing trials and transitions.
