FROM OFF-BALANCED TO WELL-BALANCED

Name: Deanna Cheah

Age: 14

School: SMK Tmn. Tun Dr. Ismail

Problem:
Deanna was an active and outgoing teenage girl who was popular in school. Her attitude of saying yes to all of her friends’ invitations and requests has taken a toll on her own time. Her studies was in a mess and homework was always left to the last minute, sometimes even forgotten. Although she appeared happy, she is constantly faced with stress, especially on school days.

Solution:
As Deanna strives when she can be her natural self, private coaching was the best solution for her. As an extrovert, sharing her thoughts and feelings was easy and she really enjoyed being listened to by her coach, Jason Thong. As Deanna’s life was all over the place, Jason worked with her to improve on her belief system, motivation and commitment. She was constantly challenged to own up to her own actions and inaction.

Results:

• Deanna’s stress level has decreased significantly due to better time management.
• She has developed a more effective task management system that has helped managed her studies better.
• On school days, she would complete her homework early and would have free time at night to catch up with her friends online.
• Relationship with her mother has improved as well.
