Hi I'm Lisa Jass, an American author, speaker, and transformational coach for parents and teens.

Through my work as a High School English Teacher in Southern California, I've been working closely with teenagers -- and their parents -- for more than 20 years. As I've watched tensions and separation grow between some of my students and their parents, I've felt inspired to help bridge the gap. Through my own experiences as both student and teacher, a lot of research, and my Candid Conversations coaching business, I've developed a system for helping parents and teens improve their relationships through healthy communication. I am also the author of Beyond Listening: Bridging the Communication Gap Between Parents and Teens, available on Amazon.
