VK Circle Announces 10-Session Coaching Framework for Families of Gifted Teens

BOCA RATON, Fla. - Sept. 9, 2025 - Many families discover that while their gifted teens may shine in classrooms or on stage, they often wrestle with inner battles that few can see. VK Circle, a Boca Raton-based coaching and consulting organization, has introduced a ten-session coaching program designed to guide both teens and their parents toward healthier communication, stronger resilience, and a calmer home life.

The reality for high-performing teens is often far more complex than their report cards suggest. Research shows that nearly seven out of ten academically advanced students struggle with persistent anxiety, while more than half experience burnout before they begin college. Beneath the achievements, many feel trapped by perfectionism, sabotage their own progress, or live in constant fear of letting others down. Some question their identity beyond grades and accolades, while others fixate on mistakes, break under criticism, or withdraw from social connection. Without intervention, these struggles frequently spiral into early burnout, loneliness, and fading motivation.

VK Circle developed its ten-session framework to interrupt this cycle. The program provides teens with practical techniques to manage stress, ease perfectionism, and rebuild self-confidence. At the same time, parents receive guidance to communicate more effectively, strengthen trust, and create supportive environments that allow teens to thrive. Unlike therapy models that extend over years, VK Circle's coaching is designed as a concise, non-clinical process that delivers visible progress in just weeks.

This approach draws on the Heal Your Life® philosophy, based on Louise Hay's teachings, combined with principles of high-performance coaching and Manny VK's two decades in education. The Heal Your Life® model emphasizes self-awareness, emotional responsibility, and shifting limiting beliefs, while performance coaching provides goal-setting and stress-regulation strategies. Together, they form a balanced program that speaks to both the intellectual and emotional lives of gifted teens.

Founder Manny VK has worked with more than 640,000 students and 3,400 educators across the Americas and has lived in 89 countries. His journey has included not only educational leadership but also personal experiences such as adventure racing and skydiving, which he now uses as metaphors for courage and growth under pressure. This background informs a coaching style that blends structure with inspiration, offering families tools they can immediately put into practice.

"Gifted teens don't need fixing - they need reconnection," said Manny Kaufman, founder of VK Circle. "By equipping both teens and parents with practical ways to handle pressure, we reduce tension at home and build emotional strength that carries into the future. My goal is to protect brilliance before it burns out and help the next generation live with purpose and confidence."

Parents confirm the program's impact. One parent shared: "In just ten sessions, I watched my son go from overwhelmed and anxious to confident and calm. He finally has tools to manage stress, and I can see him enjoying life again instead of fearing failure." Stories like this highlight the tangible change families experience: teens rediscovering joy, parents feeling more capable, and homes shifting from stress to support.

VK Circle provides flexible options, including one-on-one teen coaching, parent coaching, family integration sessions, live workshops, and online courses. For schools and organizations, VK Circle also delivers training in leadership, resilience, and burnout prevention for educators and high-achieving youth.

The ten-session program is structured to build momentum. Each session introduces new practices while reinforcing earlier lessons, allowing families to see steady growth. Teens learn emotional regulation, self-expression, and ways to shift their inner dialogue, while parents practice listening skills and conflict resolution. The dual involvement ensures that changes are not isolated but ripple through the family as a whole.

Ultimately, VK Circle's mission is not to replace therapy or education but to complement them with a focused, action-based model that bridges the gap between academic achievement and emotional well-being.

The vision remains clear: a world where brilliance is nurtured rather than depleted, where families feel stronger, and where gifted teens succeed without sacrificing their sense of self. To learn more or request information, parents and organizations are invited to visit:
