Jesse and The Attitude Advantage Program helped my daughter navigate and flourish through those challenging middle school years. She learned coping skills, found her voice and shared her struggles and triumphs with a team of safe, sensitive and professional adults. Having group sessions with other peers her age was one of her favorite parts of the program. This was such a unique and special program and I am so grateful that my daughter was a part of it.

I reached out the attitude advantage because I saw my son distracted,, low confidence and afraid to grow, being part of this program gave him self confidence, maturity and guidelines on how to face challenges in the near future. You as parents also get some assignments and guidance which I found very useful and thought me on how to approach my teenage.I am very thankful with the program and coaches for the work done and hope more people continue taking advantage of this resource if needed.

I wanted to share our positive experience with Jesse and TAAP. Our son was going through a rough patch in his adolescence where we were starting to get concerned about his negative thoughts, angry outbursts and lack of confidence. It felt like it was happening more and more. We chose to look for a teen life coach that could help him navigate through what he was experiencing but also understood the type of kid that he is. Our son has big dreams in sports, and he is working hard to achieve them, but he was also struggling with the mental affect that competitive youth sports can have on kids. The TAAP program was able to provide him with an outlet to express his concerns. And as a former athlete, Jesse was able to connect with him and understand where our son was coming from. The program also provided him with the tools he needed to understand his feelings, break them down and learn to manage them better. It also gave him a point of reflection. The sessions with his coach as well as the weekly group sessions helped to give him perspective and better understanding on how to manage his feelings, and the tools he learned through his sessions helped him to navigate these feelings as well as provide him with a positive outlet. We were happy to see a positive change in our son and his overall attitude and confidence. We are grateful to this program for helping him to forge a happier, more positive path in his life.

Our experience with The Attitude Advantage Program was extremely positive. We had just taken custody of our then 12 year-old grandson. Initially, we had concerns about online therapy, but it proved to be the best choice. Kids these days are used to things being online so it was a platform he was totally comfortable with. The program's flexibility was a major advantage. With a busy schedule, the ability to have sessions from home removed the stress of travel and scheduling. My grandson felt more comfortable opening up in a private environment, which seemed to contribute to his progress. The communication options were also beneficial. The option for messaging and live chat sessions was a great feature. This allowed communication in a way that felt natural, leading to more consistent engagement. The therapist was responsive, compassionate, and skilled at connecting with adolescents. I was most impressed by the program's unique ability to teach my grandson how to deal with issues as they arose, how to predict situations and how to manage them. This is very different than focusing on the "what happened to get me here" and focused more on the, "this is where I am, and how am I going to positively navigate these situations." Both Jesse and the therapist, Lindsey, were great at communicating with me when I had questions, etc. We did follow up with in person counseling only to be told after a few sessions that our grandson already had the tools he needed to cope with issues as they arose. We totally attribute that to the Attitude Advantage Program!

It’s hard to explain just how isolating it can feel when your teen is struggling. But from day one, TAAP made us feel like we weren’t alone. The support from Jesse and his team, combined with the peer community our daughter connected with, became a foundation she could finally stand on. We watched her go from withdrawn and defeated to energized and focused. She smiles more. She tries more. And she believes in herself again. That’s the power of this community.

“Thanks to The Attitude Advantage Program our 13 year old daughter is thriving. We wanted to equip her with the tools to be successful in school and life and we saw a huge transformation in just 90 days. She loved the program and we’ve seen her grow in so many ways! She has really found her passions, built so much more confidence and learned how to look at every situation as a new challenge that she has the power to overcome. I cannot recommend this program highly enough to other parents who want to give their teenager a boost and what we like to call ‘the attitude advantage’!”

Honestly, our daughter has come so far. She’s a totally different person. People who had known her before, do not recognize her anymore. She recently came back from a mini vacation (Miami) she went on with a girl friend, all by themselves. And they met more friends while there. WOW… that’s huge. And it’s all due to TAAP and you, Jesse, and I am FOREVER grateful. I will never forget your kindness & help.

Why Teens Listen to Mentors

You can tell your teen something a hundred times… but sometimes it takes a role model to make it click. NBA legend Danny Schayes shares how Olympic gold medalist Apolo Ohno finally got through to his son.

Watch the story below:

Meet Jesse LeBeau Founder of The Attitude Advantage Program

I’m Jesse LeBeauyouth speaker, best-selling author, and founder of The Attitude Advantage Program (TAAP), created to help teens build real confidence, resilience, and personal responsibility.

I grew up as the “underdog” who was often overlooked, so I know what it feels like to doubt yourself and wonder where you fit in. That experience drives everything I do. Today, I use my story, practical mindset tools, and our coaching system to help teens feel seen, believe in themselves, and start making better choices every day.

Through teen coaching, school assemblies and digital content, my team and I have reached millions of teens, giving families a positive, practical path forward.

What teens learn through TAAP: 

  • Build authentic confidence and self-esteem
  • Take ownership of their choices and actions
  • Handle stress, setbacks, and social pressure with resilience

 If you’re ready for your teen to have a coach who truly gets them, I’d love to help.
