THURSDAY, AUGUST 27 • 1 PM ET

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

 

We're parents too. We know what it's like to worry, question what to do, and wonder whether you're helping or making things harder.

For more than 15 years, we've helped teens, young adults, parents, and families build confidence, connection, and direction. And we've learned something that shapes everything we do: lasting change doesn't come from telling someone who to be. It starts with helping them discover it for themselves.

That's why we created Extraordinary Purpose. Watch our story and learn why this work means so much to us.

The Extraordinary Purpose Framework

Lasting change starts from the inside out: knowing who you are, where you want to go, and building the confidence to create it.

Pillar 1: Self-Discovery & Identity

Discover who you are.

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

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

Pillar 2: Direction & Purpose

Create a vision for your future.

Turn what you discover about yourself into meaningful goals, college and career direction, and a clear path toward the life you want to build.

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

Pillar 3: Empowered Identity

Become who you want to be.

Build the habits, mindset, and daily actions that create confidence, discipline, momentum, and consistent follow-through.

Lasting change happens when you start living like the person you're capable of becoming.

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

We know how hard it is to see your child struggling and not know what to do next.

We’ve been there too. As parents of four teenagers, we’ve worried, questioned ourselves, and wondered when to step in and when to let go.

We’ve also seen how much can change when a young person begins to understand who they are, believe in themselves, and feel excited about their future again.

Sometimes, it starts with one conversation.

Tell us what’s going on. We’ll listen, answer your questions, and help you figure out the best next step for your child and your family.

No pressure. Just two parents who understand and are here to help.

Meet Erin Verdis & Chris Adang

We’re Parents Too. We Understand How Much This Matters.

We’re Erin and Chris, founders of Extraordinary Purpose, parents of four teenagers, and professional life coaches with more than 20 years of combined experience providing life coaching for teens, young adults, and parents. We’ve helped 750+ clients build greater confidence, direction, resilience, and connection.

20+ Years Combined Experience • 750+ Clients Coached • Life Coaching for Teens, Young Adults & Parents

But for us, this work is deeply personal.

We know what it feels like to worry about your child, see their potential, and wonder if they see it too. To question whether you’re doing enough, pushing too hard, or when it’s time to step back. We’ve had those late-night conversations too.

We want the same things for our kids that you want for yours: for them to know who they are, believe in themselves, find their people, and discover a direction that excites them.

That belief is at the heart of the Extraordinary Purpose Framework. We help young people:

âś” Discover who they are and build genuine confidence
âś” Create direction for school, college, career, relationships, and life
âś” Build the mindset, habits, and skills to move forward with independence and purpose

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

Different Journeys. The Right Support.

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

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

We’re Not Here to Fix Your Child.

We’re here to help them discover who they are, recognize what they’re capable of, and build the confidence and direction to create a future that feels like their own.

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