Parents… Become your teen’s career coach! Freely and simply.
You’ve been led to believe a lot of things—that “choosing a path” at 14, 16, or 18 was simple, and that it only required a quick recipe:
a personality test, a fast coaching session, a standardized assessment.
We keep feeding you contradictory speeches, but then you’re left alone to sort them out and face reality.
The truth? These recipes and injunctions confine more than they enlighten.
The results: over 35% of students fail or change direction after high school (source: CNESCO).
That’s 1 in 3 teenagers.
There’s a 1-in-3 chance of being in this situation.
These methods—despite what they claim—reduce your child to boxes, to the framework of the tool, or to the posture of the person guiding them, while their future requires lucidity, nuance, awareness, and adaptability.
This is for all the parents who want to take things into their own hands.
For all those who don’t trust private services.
For all those who cannot afford deep, high-quality guidance.
I’ve prepared two major guides for you, the fruit of 20 years of research and practice, directly drawn from my latest book. (And no, I’m not going to wait a week to post the second one just to collect likes—because you need both, right now, together.)
👉 Published in Open Science, free access (those guides are in french for now but hey ChatGPT can translate ) :
📌 The Guidance Posture Evaluation Grid: https://zenodo.org/records/17210116
📌 The Guide “Supporting Without Imposing”: https://zenodo.org/records/17210260
With this evaluation grid, you have a unique tool:
– that highlights your invisible mechanisms (unintentional influence, illusions of neutrality…),
– that encourages reflection instead of box-checking,
– that provides clear paths to adjust your posture and support with awareness.
With the guide, you’ll find simple, precise, and practical reference points to concretely support your teen through key moments (middle school, high school, senior year).
My fight has been simple for nearly 20 years: to end the disgrace of the low-grade, pseudo-scientific guidance market that’s sold to you as serious, proven, or thoughtful.
In the past, I denounced it publicly and acted within the AFCSE.
Today, I give every parent the possibility to do just as well (if not more consciously) than most coaches, assessment providers, and even guidance counselors who simply don’t have the time.
Teenagers deserve better than a disguised lottery.
They deserve to make conscious career choices with those who would truly give everything for them.
👉 Read, reflect, critique, and share with your network.
And to all the professionals who will be inspired by or use my work: have the ethics to cite me.
