Youth impact coaching that inspires, empowers and strengthens young people
Anxiety, self-doubt and social pressures hold too many young people back from the future they deserve. We equip young people with powerful mindset tools that make a lifelong impact.
Enabling young people to be led by their passions and values
For young people today, following their fears is often the cause of poor mental health, disengagement with school, unfulfilled potential and a rippling feeling of not being good enough.
Our youth impact coaching programmes are designed to deeply resonate with children and teens. Our approach connects with their mindsets and inner beliefs to explore alternative perspectives and build resilience in their lives.
We offer school leaders and youth organisations new approaches to improve student wellbeing and success
Increase attainment
Our resilience-building methods help students overcome academic challenges, leading to improved focus, better study habits, and higher grades.
Improve welbeing
Through stress management techniques and positive mindset coaching, we equip students with tools to navigate daily pressures and maintain emotional balance. Overall, improving both mental health and physical health outcomes.
Build confidence
Our coaching sessions and interactive exercises foster self-belief, encouraging students to embrace who they really are and express themselves more confidently.
Youth impact coaching programmes that make a lifelong impact
Kaizen Youth Empowerment collaborates with local authorities, schools and community organisations to address these barriers through tailored programmes that equip young people with leadership tools, self-awareness, and personal responsibility. These interventions have proven effective in increasing educational engagement and closing the attainment gap, aligning with Scotland’s goal to provide a nurturing environment for all children.
Ultimately, our programmes not only support individual growth but also bring long-term benefits to communities, contributing to Scotland's aspiration to be the best place in the world for children to grow up.

About Kaizen Youth Empowerment
Meet Derek Gall
I have experienced many of the challenges that Kaizen Youth aims to solve for young people. However, young people today experience challenges, unlike anything that teachers, parents and family members can truly understand.
I’ve studied and practised psychology for over 25 years to build unique and impactful programmes of support for young people. Support that equips them with the tools I wish I had growing up. The Kaizen Youth team are here to support your school or youth organisation and your young people with the impactful support they deserve.
Young people deserve the chance to thrive
Investment in talking therapies can be helpful. We also believe that this shouldn’t be the only support option. With our youth impact coaching and holistic therapeutic approach, you will help to protect young people from today’s complex challenges.

“This is the best leadership programme you could go to; I promise you that you will be a better person and most importantly a better leader.”

“At Baldragon Academy, we’ve been working with Kaizen Youth Empowerment on several different programmes: pupil-focused; staff-focused; community-focused. These aren't just 'off the shelf' approaches. Derek's inquiry to our school community and his patient and caring approach to really understand our context enabled him to create bespoke approaches that align perfectly with our school improvement priorities. I am continually amazed at Derek’s enthusiasm, passion, and commitment to unlocking the potential in every individual, regardless of their role, part, or position within our school community. With Derek, every individual counts. Through our planned programmes, participants really discover the power of ‘ownership’ for self-improvement and their contribution to improving culture and environment.”
