Helping young people succeed in life is what I love to do.

I’ve worked with young adults for over 20 years and every time I meet with someone new, they tell me they want to learn how to _____. What is the blank? What is the skill they want to master? It doesn’t matter. Because whether it’s social, mental, emotional, academic, or career oriented, they don’t want the skill as much as they want what is behind the skill.

They want what Oxford dictionary calls “a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of one’s own abilities or qualities.”

They want… confidence. Or what I like to call… moxie.

And that’s where the name Moxie Mile originated. Moxie is the courage and knowledge gained by actually doing or living through something and Mile is the distance or journey it takes to get there.

I have a degree in Communication, been an entrepreneur all my life and worked with over a thousand young adults. I have helped them achieve big goals like acceptance to Ivy League schools and launching their first business to smaller goals like initiating conversations with peers and enjoying what can be one of the most panic inducing events in a young person’s life: Senior Prom!

Parents: I’m not a psychologist or a counselor. I’m a mentor who cares and wants to see your young adult succeed.

Helping Young People Succeed

This is for you if…

  • Setting and achieving goals (school, relationships, early career) feels impossible.
  • You lack confidence in yourself and your abilities.
  • You need a partner to hold you accountable.
  • You feel paralyzed with anxiety, fear or stress.
  • You struggle with how to act in social situations.
  • You’re ready to be commit, work hard and be honest with yourself.

How it works. What it looks like.

For all of us, life is tough. During the young adult years, it can be unbearable. I’ve found that having someone trusted who listens, helps achieve goals and values accountability, can make all the difference. Parents are welcome to be as involved as they’d like to be.

Real testimonials from parents and young adults.

Don’t take my word for it. Here’s what others have to say.

Melissa • Parent

“Whether kismet, luck, or divine intervention, I called Paul. Paul had helped my son prepare for high school interviews a couple of years back, and it made all the difference. John even looked forward to each interview! So, I thought of Paul and his confidence-building modalities when my husband and I needed a solution to John’s struggle with social anxiety. Although he is a deep and insightful kid, he was lacking the confidence, tools, and structure to overcome his anxiety to create friendships at his new school. I remembered how powerful just one session with Paul had been and how much John connected and trusted Paul’s guidance.

So, I reached out, and after a couple of phone calls discussing a plan, Paul agreed to help John create a series of action-based solutions that he could easily manage and implement. Initially, they met bi-weekly. Paul would give him social goals like talking to one new person at lunch, or showing up to a specific club meeting, or texting certain people he had connected with. John would be accountable to Paul for the goals and would report back. John started gaining social traction right away, which was super encouraging to him, and within a couple of months, John was down to a weekly session and was enjoying a burgeoning social life. Seriously! It was actually quite astonishing! John continues to work with Paul to help maintain and manage his social progress but also for guidance and action steps with issues like organization, which contributes to his overall anxiety.

Paul has an extraordinary way of working with kids. They respect and trust him, which is his gateway to achieving results, not because he is demanding or harsh, but because he is calming and nurtures confidence. We are so grateful to Paul for embarking on this journey with us and John. Achieving goals, no matter how small, creates confidence, and confidence is the key to achieving your dreams.”

“I reached out to Paul because I wanted to talk to someone knowledgeable about business and life. This quickly turned into a very valuable mentorship that continues to compound and aid me in my day-to-day life as more is learned with each and every session.

We mainly work on things that affect my business life. We commonly talk about accountability and we set goals that I’m held accountable to. When problems in my life arise, we unpack them and decide on possible directions to take that lead to ideal solutions.

These sessions are working because I put in the work and have Paul there to be an amazing guide and support.

He’s there to hold me accountable for any agreements we may make, and that helps push me to get them done. He’s also a great partner when it comes to breaking down problems and understanding what should be done.

If you’re serious about wanting to better your personal and/or professional life, I couldn’t recommend Paul’s services enough; they have honestly helped me an indescribable amount.”

John • Mentee • 17 yrs old

“Is it mentoring or coaching? I’d say that when we first worked together you helped me with interview coaching (and really good interview coaching at that) since we practiced interviewing for high schools and also did colleges. And then over the last few years we have been working on social skills and accountability.

You helped me develop the social skills and confidence in those skills to more easily navigate not only the world, but my social anxietieswhich was genuinely life-changing.

That’s how I’d describe your service and some of our relationship from a really professional perspective. I would definitely say a friendship was born out of this so mentoring is definitely right on the nose from the relationship perspective.”
