We’re Erin & Chris. And We Know How Hard It Is to Watch Someone You Love Struggle.

 

We’re parents of four, too. We know what it’s like to worry about your child, question what to do, and wonder if you’re actually helping.

For more than 15 years, we’ve helped teens, young adults, parents, and families build confidence, strengthen relationships, and find direction. And we’ve learned that real growth rarely comes from pushing harder or having all the right answers.

It begins when young people discover who they are, what matters to them, and the direction they want to go.

That belief is at the heart of Extraordinary Purpose.

Watch our story and learn why this work is so personal to us.

When Your Child Feels Lost, You Feel It Too.

 

✔ They seem stuck, unmotivated, or unsure what’s next

✔ Their confidence is slipping or they’re struggling to find where they belong

âś” Stress, distractions, or unhealthy patterns keep getting in the way

✔ They’re uncertain about school, college, career, or their future

✔ You’re wondering when to step in, when to step back, and how to actually help

You’ve encouraged them. Given advice. Given them space. But sometimes they need something different.

Not more pressure. Not someone telling them what to do.

They need the space and support to discover who they are, what they want, and how to move forward for themselves.

That’s where Extraordinary Purpose begins.

The Extraordinary Purpose Framework

Lasting change starts from the inside out.

Discover who you are. Find your direction. Take ownership of what comes next.

Our framework helps teens and young adults build the self-awareness, direction, and confidence to lead their own lives.

Pillar 1: Self-Discovery & Identity

Discover who you are.

Understand your strengths, values, passions, and what matters most so you can build real confidence and make choices that feel like your own.

Know yourself. Find your path, your people, and your purpose.

Pillar 2: Direction & Purpose

Explore what’s possible. Find your direction.

Turn what you discover about yourself into meaningful goals, college and career direction, and a clearer path toward the future you want to create.

When you know where you’re going and why it matters, motivation has somewhere to go.

Pillar 3: Action & Ownership

Turn your potential into progress.

Build the habits, mindset, and daily actions to follow through, create momentum, and take ownership of your life and future.

Lasting change happens when you stop waiting and start becoming the person you want to be.

TEEN COACHING

"I Actually Believe in Myself Now."

Before coaching, I felt stuck and didn't have much confidence. Through this process, I've learned who I am, what matters to me, and how to take action even when I don't feel motivated. I feel more confident, focused, and excited about my future.

TEEN COACHING

"I'm Finally Moving Forward."

I used to spend most of my time on my phone and had no real direction. Coaching helped me build better habits, set goals, and start following through. I feel more in control of my life and a lot more optimistic about what's ahead.

YOUNG ADULT COACHING

"For the First Time, I Have a Clear Direction."

I felt completely lost after high school and wasn't sure what I wanted. Coaching helped me discover my strengths, clarify my goals, and create a plan that actually feels meaningful. I finally feel like I'm moving toward something.

YOUNG ADULT COACHING

"This Changed the Way I See Myself."

I came into coaching feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure of who I wanted to become. Today, I have more confidence, healthier routines, and a clearer vision for my future than I ever thought possible.

PARENT COACHING

"We Have Our Son Back."

The communication in our home is completely different. Instead of constant tension and frustration, we have more connection, trust, and understanding. Watching our son grow in confidence and direction has been incredible.

PARENT COACHING

"The Best Investment We've Made for Our Family."

Our daughter was struggling with confidence, motivation, and direction. Through coaching, she has become more responsible, engaged, and hopeful about her future. Just as importantly, we've learned how to support her in a healthier and more connected way.

This Could Be the Turning Point Your Family Needs

If you’re here because you’re worried about your child, we understand.

We’re parents of four, and we know how hard it is to watch someone you love struggle. We’ve questioned ourselves, worried about the future, and wondered when to step in, when to step back, and whether we were getting it right.

We’ve also seen what can happen when a young person starts to believe in themselves, discover who they are, and see a path forward.

And sometimes, that shift starts with one conversation.

Tell us what’s going on. We’ll listen, answer your questions, and help you decide what feels right for your child and your family.

No pressure. Just a real conversation with two parents who understand.

Meet Erin Verdis & Chris Adang

Experienced Coaches. Parents Who Understand.

We’re Erin and Chris, founders of Extraordinary Purpose, parents of four, and professional life coaches with more than 20 years of combined experience helping teens, young adults, parents, and families build confidence, find direction, strengthen relationships, and move forward.

20+ Years Combined Experience • 1,000+ Teens, Young Adults, Parents & Families Supported

But this work is personal for us, too.

We’ve worried about our own kids. We’ve questioned when to step in and when to step back. We’ve had the late-night conversations about confidence, friendships, school, motivation, and what their futures might look like.

We want what you want: for your child to know who they are, believe in themselves, find their people, and create a life that feels like their own.

Two Coaches. Personalized Support.

Chris coaches teen and young adult men, as well as dads. A professional certified coach with ACT Matrix training, he brings extensive leadership and career development experience, including recruiting, hiring, training, and developing hundreds of young adults.

Erin coaches teen and young adult women, as well as moms. With degrees in psychology and human development, more than 15 years of coaching experience, and training as a Tony Robbins certified coach, she helps young women build confidence, self-trust, and resilience while helping moms reconnect with themselves and their children.

We measure success by what changes in real life: greater confidence, healthier habits, stronger relationships, clearer direction, and young people taking greater ownership of their lives.

Helping Them Find Their Own Way Forward

We don’t believe young people need someone else telling them who to be or what their life should look like.

They need someone who will listen, ask the right questions, challenge them when they need it, and help them discover who they are, recognize what they’re capable of, and build the confidence to move forward for themselves.

That’s what we want for our kids. And it’s what we want for yours.
