ABOUT US
What is Coachable Labs?
Coachable Labs is a life coaching company built on one belief: the health of any community depends on the quality of the individuals within it. We work with people who are ready to change — people who know something has to shift, but aren't sure where to start. We give them a clear path. Because when one person finds their footing, everyone around them feels it.
Our Objectives
What you walk away with!
This is what eight weeks of real work produces. Every outcome below corresponds to a real gap in the research. These are not aspirational. They are specific, measurable, and built into the structure of the program from day one.
Direction Over Pressure
Make confident decisions across your life, whether in your college major, health, career, relationships, finances, or faith, by staying grounded in who you truly are rather than giving in to pressure or choosing what simply sounds impressive.
Own Your Story
Walk into college applications, essays, and interviews knowing what drives you and being able to say it clearly.
Discipline That Sticks
Build real discipline across your studies, your schedule, your body, and your daily habits and sustain it after the program ends.
A Body That Performs
Understand what your body needs to perform and have the habits around sleep, nutrition, and movement already in place.
Clarity on People
Know who in your life is genuinely building you up and how to navigate the relationships that are not without losing yourself.
Wealth With Purpose
Understand wealth and career as tools for something larger and leave knowing the difference between chasing money and creating real value.
Cut the Noise
Cut through the social media, the competing opinions, the trends, and stay focused on what actually moves you forward.
A Community That Holds
Walk away with a community of twelve driven peers who hold each other to a higher standard long after the summer ends.
THE RIGHT FIT
You might be who we're looking for if…
If you are a Muslim high schoolers in grades 10 through 12 who are serious about doing something real with their lives even if they do not yet know what that is. You do not need to have all the answers. You need to be honest, willing to be challenged, and ready to show up fully for eight weeks.
You sense your path was not really chosen
Most high schoolers report choosing their academic and career direction based on external pressure rather than genuine self-knowledge (YouScience, 2024). If you picked your major or your plans because it seemed like the right next step or because someone expected it, and something about it does not sit right, you are exactly who this was built for.
You are ready to actually show up
Three days a week in person. Weekend coaching online. Homework and reflection between sessions. A cohort of twelve people who are all doing the same work at the same time. This is not something you attend. It is something you commit to. If you are in, you are in.
You value feedback
You care more about getting it right than about being right. You have changed your mind before, updated a habit, reconsidered something you were sure about. That willingness is rarer than it sounds and it is what makes coaching actually work.

The clarity your teachers, your counselor, and your feed never gave you.
You've been told to pick a major, build your resume, figure out what you want to do with your life. But nobody actually sat down with you and helped you answer the question underneath all of that — why any of it matters. And without that answer, every decision feels arbitrary. You're going through the motions and something about it doesn't sit right
At the same time, your deen feels like it lives in a separate category from your real life. School is school. Islam is Islam. The two don't really talk to each other. This program is built to fix that, not by adding more to your plate, but by showing you that the deen was always the map. You just haven't been given it yet.

What am I actually doing with my life and does it matter?
A lack of meaning in life is one of the leading factors associated with rising rates of depression and anxiety among young people globally (Zhou et al., Frontiers in Psychology, 2024). Research confirms that a stronger sense of purpose in adolescence directly protects against depression, increases overall wellbeing, and is associated with higher academic engagement and stronger goal-setting ability (Barcaccia et al., Frontiers in Psychology, 2023). Participants leave this area with a personally owned answer to why they exist, one that filters every decision they make after.
Mind, Direction, and Decision-Making
85% of high schoolers feel pressure to pursue a four-year degree, yet 52% say they are open to a completely different path (YouScience, 2024). Most decisions young people make about school, career, and time are driven by external pressure rather than internal clarity. A meta-analysis of 49 randomized trials found that self-regulation and decision-making interventions in adolescents produced significant improvements in academic achievement, social skills, and mental health outcomes (Pandey et al., JAMA Pediatrics, 2018). Participants leave with a vision, a goal structure, and a plan that is genuinely theirs.
Physical Health and Daily Discipline
Only 23% of high schoolers get the recommended hours of sleep on school nights, a number that has declined for a decade (CDC Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 2023). Over 40% of teens report that social media disrupts their sleep and productivity (Pew Research Center, 2025). Research shows that physical habits formed in adolescence tend to persist into adulthood and directly shape long-term health, academic, and occupational outcomes (Moffitt et al., PNAS, 2011). Participants leave with sleep, nutrition, and movement habits already in place, not just advised.
Family, Relationships, and Your Social World
A longitudinal cohort study of more than 15,000 adolescents found that the quality of family relationships during high school directly predicted mental health, substance use, and relationship quality well into adulthood (Ford et al., JAMA Network Open, 2023). Gallup research confirms that strong parent-teen bonds have a greater positive impact on teen mental health than social media has a negative one (Gallup Familial and Adolescent Health Survey, 2023). Participants leave with a clearer picture of their relational world and the tools to invest in the relationships that are building them.
Career, Education, and Wealth
75% of high school graduates felt unprepared to make college or career decisions after graduation (YouScience, 2024). Roughly 4 in 10 students globally are unclear about their career expectations, double the number from a decade ago (OECD, 2024). 31% of graduating seniors report no confidence in their current education or career path (YouScience, 2024). Participants leave with a purpose-driven academic and career direction, an understanding of wealth as a tool rather than a destination, and a concrete 12-month plan.
Accountability and Staying in Motion
Research confirms that adolescence is the most critical window for habit formation, and that self-regulation patterns established during this period shape health, academic performance, and financial outcomes well into adulthood (Moffitt et al., PNAS, 2011). Studies on coaching outcomes consistently show that the participants who sustain progress after a program ends are those who developed internal accountability structures during it, not those who relied on external motivation (Pandey et al., JAMA Pediatrics, 2018). Participants leave with those structures already built and already running.
Program Arc
Eight weeks. Six areas of your life. One direction.
What am I actually doing with my life and does it matter?
This is the session everything else is built on. Who Allah is. What He designed you for. Why that answer changes how you approach everything else. Most people spend years trying to figure this out by trial and error. We start here on purpose, because without this answer, every other session is just noise.
Stop Treating School, Islam, and Your Goals Like Three Different Lives
Once you know why you exist, you can actually think clearly. This session is about vision, goals, and how to make decisions that are genuinely yours rather than your parents', your peers', or whatever deadline is closest. You will leave with a real plan that came from you, not from what looked good on paper.
Your Energy Levels Have Been Trying to Tell You Something
You cannot show up for anything your deen, your family, your goals if your body is constantly running on empty. This session treats your physical health as infrastructure, not an afterthought. The way you sleep, eat, and move is either preparing you for the life you want or quietly making it harder to get there.
Build and maintain the Relationships That Actually Move You Forward
The people in your life either bring out the best in you or slowly pull you away from it. This session helps you understand what healthy relationships look like across family, friendships, and mentorship and gives you the tools to invest in the ones that matter and navigate the ones that are complicated.
Career & Wealth — Someone Actually Helps You Think Through Your Future
College, career, money. Most people make these decisions based on fear or what sounds impressive to the people around them. This session helps you make them based on something real. You will work through what you actually want to build, why it matters beyond a paycheck, and what a path toward that looks like starting now.
What happens when the program is over and nobody is watching?
The last sessions is about making sure you do not need this program anymore. The goal was never to keep you coming back. It was to hand you something you can carry on your own. You leave with the habits, the clarity, and the internal accountability to keep going long after the summer ends.
The Internship
You don't just learn stewardship with us.
You practice it the same afternoon.
Monday through Wednesday, after the morning session, you run the day camp for elementary and middle school kids as an intern-volunteer. You are responsible for them. They are looking to you. Leadership, patience, and service are not concepts we discuss in this program. They are things that are demanded of you at noon and that we coach you through on the weekend. There is no better teacher than a room full of younger kids who need you to have it together.

001
Who is this program for?
The program is designed for Muslim high schoolers in grades 10 through 12 in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. Juniors are our primary target but sophomores and seniors are welcome to apply. The most important factors are not your grades or your resume. They are your honesty, your willingness to be challenged, and a genuine desire to figure out what you are doing with your life and why.
002
What does a typical week actually look like?
Monday through Wednesday you attend in-person morning sessions from 9:30 to 11:30 AM covering the program's six life domains through group instruction and expert speakers. Two of those afternoons per week you stay for the day camp internship from 11:45 AM to 5:15 PM, where you run programming for younger kids as an intern-volunteer. On the weekend you have a one-hour private coaching session online with your assigned coach. Between sessions you complete short reflection assignments and have access to the coaching team by email and phone whenever you need support.
003
What is the cost and is financial support available?
The program cost is $3,000 per participant for the full eight weeks. For families who need support, sponsorship pathways are available through local masajid and Islamic organizations. Reach out to us directly and we will help you work through the options. Donations made on behalf of participants are processed through the Islamic Association of Raleigh, a registered 501(c)(3), and are fully tax-deductible. A student who is motivated enough to pursue sponsorship is already showing us exactly what we are looking for.
004
How are participants selected?
The selection process has two stages. First, you and a parent or guardian complete a written application. The application includes questions about your goals, your daily life, your relationship with the deen, and how you think. Selected applicants are then invited to a 35 to 40 minute interview. We are not looking for the most impressive applicant. We are looking for someone who is honest about where they are and ready to do something about it. Accepted participants are notified on May 25.
005
What happens after the program ends?
The goal of the program is to make itself unnecessary. You leave with internal systems, habits, and an accountability structure that does not depend on a coach standing over you. You also leave with a peer community of eleven other young Muslims who went through the same eight weeks and remain a source of accountability and support beyond the summer. For participants who want continued access to the Coachable Labs coaching community, that conversation happens after graduation.
