It all starts with firing up
emotional problem solving skills!
It seems we are living in challenging times.
Pandemic - threats of world war - climate change - cost of living and housing crisis.
Workload - long hours - demands - results.
Relationship conflicts.
Stress - health - wellbeing concerns.
Some problems are simple, others are extraordinarily complex.
Some don't directly and immediately affect us, others are intensely painful, private and personal.
Some of us cope well. Others not so.
What if we could find a way that solves almost any problem?
As educators, we aim to equip our school community with the best possible knowledge and skills to navigate life.
Our team at Calibrate have developed an innovative, gentle, evidence-based approach that is dramatically improving emotional problem solving and resilience.
Our range of programs have been developed by a community of passionate life coaches who have backgrounds in psychotherapy, cultural transformation and education.
With teens often reluctant to seek adult support, part of the program helps students experientially discover their own ‘problem solving super powers’ in a fun and highly engaging way. They may then be offered the opportunity to further develop their problem solving skills and becoming a ‘teen life coach’.
Participants are introduced to some of the most effective evidenced-based tools, skills, and mindsets to solve many social, emotional, and relationship problems, to better support themselves and their peers.
With these new coaching skills, you are able to focus on developing resilience within your school community, often resolving small issues before they become bigger, more serious, mental health and behavioural issues.
Our Coaching Programs
Emotional problem solving and conflict resolution coaching skills for educators
With changes to behaviour management policies, it is becoming more important for our leaders and educators to be equipped with more effective ways to manage student mental wellbeing and behaviour. In this 1 day staff development program, your team will explore and practice highly effective emotional problem solving and conflict resolution coaching skills.
Problem solving super powers for students
Students discover an effective problem solving strategy and:
- How our minds actually work and innocently create problems
- The one thing they can do right now to reclaim control over their life and problems
- The superpower they already have that loosens the grip of problems
- How to effectively solve almost any problem
- How to check if it is working (and what to do if it isnāt)
- The AMAZING thing that happens when problems are effectively solved.
Teen Life Coach Certification for students
In this intensive 5 day program, students will develop exceptional problem solving, resilience, performance and leadership skills, and become a trusted āTeen Life Coachā.
Participants will discover effective ways to gently solve many of lifeās problems in the privacy of their own minds, and how to support their peers to do the same. Students are of course also taught when to coach, when not to, and how to access other professional help when their peers have a problem of a more serious nature.
And the results?
Here's an example of what our schools have achieved...

It is an invaluable program that develops students' emotional intelligence and leadership skills. Students gained valuable knowledge and insight that will enrich the school and wider community making them wiser human beings.

This training was worth every cent. Student voice in our school has increased significantly, our coaches confidently seek out students to support and their emotional intelligence has grown enormously. This has added a highly valued additional layer of wellbeing support for students in our school.
