About Our Founder
Before she became a well-known life coach for teens and C-suite execs in Los Angeles and New York, Candice Lapin was a successful entrepreneur in both fashion and tech. Her eponymous fashion line graced the pages of German Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, In Style and Us Weekly, to name a few. She later went on to launch a successful startup and was the first female invited into a start-up accelerator in Silicon Beach. Yet with all of her achievements, something was missing from Lapin’s life. For years, she had started one business after another yet felt seriously stifled and unfulfilled. She stumbled into mentoring young kids and teens after experiencing major burnout.
In those early months, it was her work with students who had learning difficulties and behavioral challenges that raised her awareness. She saw what was missing: study skills and a clear process. It was her ability to teach people of all ages structure, study skills, self-esteem, and positive mindset routinely over several appointments per week that was transformational. She saw the confidence of formerly troubled teens and adults skyrocket as they finally understood what was missing from their lives! It was in those early days that her inspirational method of instruction was born.
She now helms the successful learning company --The Ladder Method-- where over 50 instructors teach her “Ladder Method” to thousands of young kids, teens, and even adults. She has helped countless families and children through her tireless focus on re-framing old modes of thinking by establishing consistent routines, strong boundaries and positive outlook..
In her book Parenting in the Perfection Age: A Modern Guide to Nurturing a Success Mindset, Lapin guides parents through her life-changing lessons and tips that have shaped her own clients’ lives for the better. She takes those troublesome behaviors that frustrate parents and breaks down how to change them. Kids develop all sorts of unhelpful habits and attitudes that can be altered by re-focusing on positive behaviors and routines that all can be done at home. By making micro-shifts in your child’s environments, behaviors, and mindsets, she shows parents how to help their tween or teen thrive!
